Once I found the box, right on top was some pretty blue flannel and I thought it would be perfect.
So I would get the shape right, I did a google search and then I made a pattern from some cereal box chipboard. That way, if I ever decide to use this idea again, I already have a pattern. I made the pattern in two pieces, one full shape for the back and one partial shape for the front.
I used another piece of cereal box for the shape on my card, so it was nice and firm. That made it so much easier to work with. I traced the front piece twice, flipping it over for the second side. Then I adhered the flannel to the other side of the chipboard with mod podge. I let it dry for a bit and then cut out the pieces.
Using my SU mat pack as a guide, I marked spots for the eyelets and then punched through both pieces with my crop-a-dile and attached eyelets.
I threaded the ribbon through the eyelets, but kept it loose, since I wanted a gap between the pieces.

I used some gathered lace edging for the top and used tacky glue. I glue the whole thing onto some blush blossom cardstock.
After uploading the card to my SCS gallery, I just knew I couldn't leave it like that, so I did some trimming on the card base to make the same shape as the corset, leaving just a little on the left fold to hold it together. I like this version without the card back showing so much better.
