I had been really curious to if using a corset and glue would work at all and I have to say I am super excited to find out that it does
I know I'm super late on here but so happy I found this
Thanks again for tutorialΒ Β Β

No worries! I have to say, it's been about a year since I did mine and it is STILL working well! I wear her pretty often (between conventions and parties). It's a lot of upfront work, but in my eyes, it has been worth it ^^ Good luck, whichever way you decide to go!

This is genius! And it's totally working for my dress!

Oh! Another question how long did it take to make the bodice?
π: 0 β©: 1
About 60 hours in total. It was a brutal, but worthwhile 60 hours lol

Ok sixty hours.... how long is that?
π: 0 β©: 1
I worked for days on it- it took a about 3 weeks of my time only working briefly!

oh ok, thats a while. So just glue gun?

Yes, ma'am!

How did the glue hold up? I'd be worried about gluing anything to a dress.

I have since retired my Elsa (at least for now!), but the glue still holds up well! I had maybe 5-6 sequins fall off in an 8 hour wear day.
A friend of mine used E600 on her dress using the same sequins and hasn't had to replace any sequins yet: the only downside is E6000 takes forever to dry.

Ok thanks!

Oh I have a question again.... do you use a glue gun for this or what?
π: 0 β©: 1
I used a glue gun. My friend used spray adhesive and fabric glue on hers and it didn't shed ^^ It's just a matter of if you don't mind replacing sequins vs taking a longer time to first apply them.

Oh ok, btw how can I do the bodice so I can wash it?
π: 0 β©: 1
I hand wash mine when needed. It's not too bad!

Oh ok good cause my moms annoying me about if I glue, had bad experience with one of my old cosplays

I used 7 packs of sequins with an 8th for back up

DANG! Ok then....

I have a question about if I glued with the sequins
π: 0 β©: 1
What is your question, my dear?
π: 0 β©: 1
Will it be safe in the washer?
π: 0 β©: 1
I would take a safe guess that it is not. I hand wash mine gently and it works well
π: 0 β©: 1
ah ok thanks

When I attempted this the pieces kept falling off no matter how much glue I used. Please be careful because not all material works with hot glue

Good to know! Thank you for posting

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqE_l8β¦ this is basically what I did ^^

Looks really good, and is the most realistic idea I've seen so far. I might use a pin in each to sew them on, I trust thread better than glue, but it should work the same, right?Β

In theory, you are correct! I just didn't want the attachment point to be visible, so I used glue. Let me know how threats works! I'm very interested.

Sure thing! I'm glad you found it helpful ^^

So you just glued these straight on the fabric? I am making the corset (already have the pattern) and wasn't sure what type of material you used to glue these to. Was it just cotton or satin? Thanks so much for posting this ^_^ Everyone has such a different way of making theirs and I was not going to hand bead the whole thing haha Beautiful job!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep! I glued these directly to the corset. The only downside for that is that I have to hand wash the thing. And, I'm sure most material, as long as it can grab onto the glue, would be fine for the corset. Good luck making it!

Thank you so much for the reply! I'll be sure to link you a pic when it's done

Did you have any problems with sequins falling off or cracking of glue while wearing it? Any problems sitting in it?
π: 0 β©: 1
The glue stays just fine. There is very minimal shedding (maybe 4 or 5 sequins when I wore it for 12 hours). I can sit, stand, jump, or do anything in this, really! If you take the time to glue things properly, it should be ok.
