Class Description

Description

SEW AN UNDERWIRE BRA + CORSET WITH MADALYNNE!

Dive into DIY corsetry and lingerie with a focused, 2-day retreat with Madalynne in NYC at The New York Sewing Center! Maddie Kulig’s hands-on teaching methods guides you through every detail of constructing a structured Merry Widow corset. The Merry Widow corset is a vintage-inspired piece of lingerie that combines the structure and waist-shaping benefits of a traditional corset with the allure of a bustier or longline bra. Typically, it extends from below the bust to the hips, offering firm torso support, while the bra cups lift and shape the bust. Created in the 1950s by Maidenform, the original Merry Widow was designed to provide both shaping and freedom of movement, making it popular under fitted, hourglass silhouettes.

Each day is designed with hands-on sewing, demonstrations, and personalized guidance, ensuring that your finished garment fits beautifully. From finding your size, determining the corset underwire, how to sew boning channels, you’ll gain the skills and confidence needed to make a one-of-a-kind garment.

This retreat is also a chance to enjoy days of creating with like-minded sewists and make new sewing friends. Plus, you’ll be the first to learn how to make this new lingerie and corset by Madalynne X Simplicity!

  • Madalynne Intimates Underwire Bra & Corset Sewing Retreat

    I learned a lot in this class and appreciated having all of the supplies provided. The class easily could have been a three day class or multi-day class. There was even a waist band part of the project which the instructor left out to save time, although I would have liked to have had the option to complete it. We were not told about that part of the project until it was too late for it to be added. It was a big challenge to try to finish all of the steps of the corset since it was a very complicated design. Most people did not finish in time. This made working on the project a little stressful. I would have appreciated it if the instructor was more willing to answer questions and walked around to check students’ progress. The teacher also started class late on the second day and left early due to her own travel logistics. We were still given time in the sewing studio to work on our project, but the teacher should have been available for the full time. We were also told at the end that we would be given extra studio time at the sewing center for independent project work where another instructor would be present if we had questions. It would have been nice to know this upfront. After taking this course, you will have the skills to complete the project on your own and to start other DIY projects from the instructor’s website. You will definitely learn a lot. The sewing tutorial can also be found on YouTube which is helpful for reference when working independently.
