Quilting

I will not be doing a lot of quilting, however, parts of some of the corsets will have quilted elements (made with the cotton canvas). For example, I have decided to do quilted cups and quilted hips on. For one of my corset designs. I have chosen to add quilting to my collection for one of the same reasons as I’ve decided to do knitting.

Quilting is the term given to the process of joining a minimum of three layers of fabric together. An array of stitches is passed through all layers of the fabric to create a three-dimensional padded surface. The three layers are typically referred to as the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material and the backing. Quilting varies from a purely functional fabric joinery technique to highly elaborate, decorative three-dimensional surface treatments. The quilter controls these effects through the manipulation of elements such as material type and thickness, stitch length and style, pattern design, piecing and cutting.

The quilting will add texture and very intricate details to my neutral. And minimalistic collection. With a very sensual and feminine collection, the intricate elements of quilting on each corset will add a personal style of. Intimacy to the collection and allow the wearer to be unique and bold. As my collection is based off ideas of insanity, unease and discomfort, I want to empower women to feel strong, confident and powerful in my designs. Allowing women to feel sensual and express themselves the way they want to. As a way to escape their paranoia, insanity and unstable mental health. I want the wearer to be able to wear our pain on the outside and free ourselves of the insanity. And I believe the intricate details of quilting will help bring this concept to life in my collection.
