New Term, New Project: Creating a Corset Inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s 1990s Portrait Corset
Jan 09, 2025
This term, I’m excited to dive into a new project with some of our Make Spot Sewers that takes me back to my own days studying contour fashion. We’ll be working on creating a corset, and I’m drawing inspiration from Vivienne Westwood’s iconic 1990s Portrait Corset.

It’s hard to miss the effortless elegance of the Princess of Wales, especially when she steps out in her favourite Breton top. Did you spot her wearing one in her video congratulating Team GB after the Olympics? This classic striped shirt has become a go-to in her wardrobe, proving that its appeal transcends centuries and fashion trends.

Roeddem am gymryd eiliad i ddiolch i'n cwsmeriaid nad ydynt yn cael y cyfle i ymweld â'n stiwdio a chymryd rhan yn ein gweithdai a'n dosbarthiadau. Mae bob amser yn bleser pan fyddwn yn derbyn archebion ffabrig o leoedd yn y byd rydyn ni'n caru neu ddim ond wedi breuddwydio am ymweld - o Ganada ac UDA i Awstralia a thu hwnt, neu'n nes adref yn Ewrop, rydyn ni wedi cludo ffabrigau arbennig i gwsmeriaid ledled y byd.
