Event Details
In Bridport we are lucky to have not one – but two! – expert corset makers. This evening event with drinks and networking will be an opportunity to learn from Leila Scriven and Sarah Fraser about:
– the history of the corset,
– the contemporary world of corset-making and wearing,
– the practice and process of making both historical and contemporary corsets
– why some of the popular myths about corsets are just that – myths!
Leila and Sarah will be bringing examples of their work for you to look at – and perhaps even try on.
Ticket price includes drinks and nibbles before and after the talk.
