Craft your own custom underbust corset with Catherine Irving of Crystal Pegasus Costumes.

Learn to fit, sew, and construct a corset using luxurious Spot Broche Coutil—a fabric crafted specifically for corsetry.

Featuring a split busk front, back lacing, and robust steel or synthetic whalebone boning, your corset will be built to your exact preferences.

Leave with a beautifully fitted corset and a pattern adjusted to your unique measurements.

Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
