Madalynne Monet Merry Widow Corset

Buy the Monet Merry Widow Corset sewing pattern from Madalynne. Monet is a merry widow corset and panty set that combines vintage and modern elements. The corset is designed to be a versatile garment, and transitions seamlessly from lingerie worn underneath clothing to outerwear layered under a blazer or sheer top. 

View A is a corset featuring a semi-sheer lace panel in the centre front. The side and middle panels offer comfort with a figure-hugging fit. Adjustable waist tabs enhance the figure-hugging fit by further cinching in the waist. The supportive 3-part bra cups feature foam and decorative stitching on the lower cups. Adjustable shoulder straps and boning along the bodice provide added support. There is a hook and eye closure down the back.

View B is a matching thong that compliments the corset top without distracting from its details. It features a lace insert on the front, wide elastic at the waistline, and fold over elastic on the leg openings.
