the Nein's level 20 outfits have an average of 7.2 buckles each

Caduceus: 0

Yasha: 0

Beau: 0 visible, but presumably 1 for her goggles

Jester: 5

Caleb: 16, including the 5 not visible on his boot, possibly more

Fjord: 21, including the 6 + 3 not visible on his boot and wrist, there is presumably one on his pauldron but it was not counted

some obvious outliers here

#ETA: fix bc I misidentified Jester's 4 buckles on her corset. Somehow it does not stop Caleb and Fjord from ruining the average. #very important math here #Caleb is up from 12 and Fjord is up from 10 btw #Critical Role #Critical Role things

do you perhaps have a pattern for that gentleman's corset? asking for a friend

Hi!

Unfortunately, I do not have a pattern to give you, but I do have a way for you/your friend to draft your own.

(If you really do just want a ready pattern, I'm pretty sure my #binding stays or #flattening stays tags include some etsy shops that have binders with corsetry methods)

I'm presuming you are here because that 5 year old post of the binder with elizabethan stays method is going around again (left). I've also since made a pair of stays that flatten nicely as well (right).

The left pattern was drafted with the free Custom Corset Pattern Generator from elizabethancostume.net. You just input a little extra breathing room in the waist and the bust measurement you can comfortably squish your chest down to.

However, that was many years ago and I have since had more success using a Mariah Pattie's circular drafting technique. It has so much less measuring and math and it gave me a better fit.

Here's my post on that technique, along with her video.

And here's my post amending that to a binder instead of stays.

In short, all you need is:

a large piece of paper

a string

a pen

a measuring tape and

the measurement of your waist circumference

the measurement of your chest bound down circumference

the measurement of the vertical distance between your waist and chest.

You draw out the pattern following the video + my explanation post (this takes me about 30 minutes vs the hour or two for drafting the usual way). Then I make it longer with a cm or two at the bottom and at least 3 cm on top. One change I've made since that post was to pinch out a little dart at the arms to make it lie smoother under clothes. One day I'm going to experiment with adding straps to this design, but today is not that day.

I kept mine quite low, because I wanted a 18th century round chested look, but with straps and longer stays you could probably go flatter (depending on how much you have to flatten of course).

This is what it looks like under a waistcoat tailored according to a menswear manual:

i'll also drop here the posts of other people who've I've talked about their binders using corsetry and tailoring methods: horsehair canvas summer binder, there's another one about how convenient ribbons are for easy adjustment but i can't find it (EDIT: found it!)

Good luck and do let me know if you've advanced this research any further!

#the stays are for a femme in historical gentleman's clothes looks #both are first tries #and fine for an afternoon #but not fitted enough to me for daily wear #but that's mostly because of my back issues #the chest compression bit is fine #this is as ever a work in progress #let me know if i need to explain some other things #i've been planning for about a year to draft a new pattern and collect all the information in one post #but again #not today #hope this helps! #binding stays #flattening stays #gentleman's corset

AND FINALLY. it’s what you’ve all been waiting for it’s what you all VOTED for!!! CORSET QUACKITY!!!!!

#dream smp #quackity #my art #one thing i learned working at a renaissance fair: #higher class women wore corsets that laced in the back to show that they had someone who could lace it for them #quackity. um. well he doesn’t have this #but he wears one anyways

The prince in public vs once he’s in the privacy of his room ⤴️

#this goes for both when he’s just enjoying it for himself #(I know I like wearing nice things around the house sometimes idk) #and for when he maybe wants to show off a little 👀 #not many people allowed in his room but oh no #how will he ever unlace his corset vest on his own #crazy how Abram’s always so conveniently close and willing to help huh #pls forgive the lack of scars and stretch marks on the unedited ones #I didn’t trust my gel pen #anyway #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #andrew minyard #royal au #digital

Um actually I have something more to say about Kabru and Mithrun’s similarities and relationship.

I think a lot abt how it’s shown a few times how elven culture relies heavily on non-natural ways of doing things, and it’s interesting especially how like our main cast repeats multiple times the three steps to living a long and healthy life. Meanwhile the canaries, the elves, don’t necessarily recognize that stuff as important as it is. I think specifically of the example of Mithrun explaining to Kabru that he has to have medication or a spell otherwise he can’t sleep, to which Kabru tucks him in and gives him a massage which knocks him out cold. His dependency on other methods to fight off insomnia were kinda just in his head, he hadn’t tried anything else. I mean prior to joining the canaries he was fully restrained 90% of the time so ofc a servant would just come in and place a spell for him to sleep every night. And he was like that for years. And then Cithis just replaced all his caretaker servants, then it became her job to make sure he took a pill or listened to her bells every night. I think there’s something there about how there’s a list of stuff Mithrun wasn’t allowed to be around and when he gets separated from the canaries he encounters all of that since Kabru doesn’t know to “protect” Mithrun or restrain him so severely. And it’s interesting because Mithrun doesn’t even seem to have issues with the things, like ofc top on the list was he wasn’t supposed to see goats or sheep. One of the first things he and Kabru eat is barometz. Its something to me that Kabru, who has also suffered so much, takes Mithrun into this dungeon and he has to face head on what’s been bothering him, he has to look his trauma in the eyes. And eat it. He cannot move on until he sees it, understands it, and finally starts talking about himself (“the last desire I had left wasn’t revenge, I wanted the demon to finish me off” “I was scraps left on the plate […] I guess vegetable scraps have their uses too”)

It just seems to me like a more vague and overarching way we see the elven cultural mindset hold him back from properly healing, I don’t think Kabru knew what he was doing at all but the fact of the matter is no one was filtering Mithrun’s view of the world anymore. And while Mithrun believed that didn’t matter to him, nothing mattered, it still made a difference. He was still on the path to moving on, and properly healing, even though he didn’t quite recognize that.

#dungeon meshi #not overtagging this sory #I’ve been having a lotta Mithrun thoughts despite saying i don’t like him very much #</3 #not a Kabru/Mithrun shipper just bc I can’t get behind #shipping Kabru with the guy his mom used to be coworkers with #and she also like. oversaw his rehabilitation. for years #but I mean I see the dynamic that fact just bothers me when I consider it myself #do whatever you want. thumbs up emoji #these quotes aren’t exact and there’s no image proofs #this is a messy one I’m literally just getting my thoughts out #this post was originally drafted at like 4am #Cortana send this thing out into the world #also slightly off topic but does #anyone else ever think abt the implications of marcille’s dungeon lord dress being #corseted in a story where body fat shows strength and love of life #the demon gave her a dress that made her appear unnaturally thin. hey can anyone hear me #hello. hey

you should give springtrap a bigger waist to compensate for that giant torso and those giant arms he has

i'm just sayin'

y'know just for that he has a corset now

female costuber with a degree in dress history, or significant primary source research under her belt, who has repeatedly expressed progressive/feminist opinions: for most women in corset-intensive eras, corsets were actually a pretty neutral garment

person who cannot stand having their Emotional Support Historical Misconception challenged I guess: welp time to call this experienced and knowledgable female researcher a silly, vain, shallow patriarchal shill who only cares about pretty dresses, to Fight Sexism!!!

#dress history #fashion history #protip: calling a woman a vain appearance-obsessed ninny and undermining her knowledge #of the field IN WHICH SHE WORKS FOR A LIVING #is still misogyny even if she Said A Thing About Corsets (or Mary Wollstonecraft) That You Don't Like
