Description

Both Annabelle and Annette corset sewing pattern include a waspie and underbust pattern, so why are they separate patterns? There are two differences that were big enough to to make them separate corset sewing pattern.

1. Annette includes a busk at the center front, so there is a center front facing piece so that it can be inserted and clean finished. There is no busk in the Annabelle.

2. The construction of Annette and Annabelle are different. The vertical seams on Annabelle are sewn with wrong sides together and the bone casing is exposed. The vertical seams on Annette are sewn with right sides together and the bone casing is on the inside. There are other minor differences in construction, but those are the two main ones.

Each pattern is $9.00 and bundled together for $16.00, which is the normal rate of a Madalynne pattern. Personally, I’d be upset if I paid $16.00 for two patterns that were the 99% the same. So if you purchase both, it is the price is consistent with purchasing one Madalynne pattern.
