How to Sew a Faux Corset
From the Blogger: "Sew a faux corset to almost any woven pattern for a clever fashion statement. Add a little pop of color with a bold colored ribbon, or incorporate wedding colors that don't normally look good on you. Use metal eyelets to give it a clean, professional look. Making a faux corset is really not as hard as it sounds. My easy-to-follow tutorial will walk you through the process, step-by-step, easy peasy. So get out your eyelet pliers, and let's get started!"
