The Aphrodite is a reversible under-bust style of bodice in a corset (stays, waspie, bodies) style, designed to layer over your clothing. Aphrodite has 2 views; View A is a reversible bodice, while View B gives the option to add an open front skirt.
The Aphrodite has a centre front closure and adjustable shoulder straps which tie together.
This garment is a fashion statement and is not intended to be worn for support, however, the maker can add boning to create a historic silhouette.
Full instructions are included to adjust your pattern to meet the needs of your one of a kind shape. There is also an included specialty instruction section to help the home sewist learn corsetry basics such as interlining, boning and eyelets.
This pattern has an adjustable fit with a small amount of ease so consider this when picking your size. Remember to make a toile!
