The Rilla Corset is a five-panel WWI-era underbust corset based on an original PD Marvella corset by Belgian corset manufacturer PD Corsets. The Marvella was one of the best-selling corsets worldwide in the second half of the 1910s, making the Rilla corset the perfect base for WWI and early 1920s costuming.
With extensive instructions and advice on fitting, the Rilla is designed to be an easy make for sewers with some corsetmaking experience, or a good introduction to corsetmaking for the moderately advanced sewer with no previous corsetmaking experienced.
View A features a dipped front neckline, raised back neckline, four garter straps, and a bottom hem line which is low in front and higher at the back. View B features a straight front neckline, dipped back neckline, six garter straps, and a curved U cut into the front of the bottom hem. Necklines and hemlines can be mixed and matched between View A & View B.
Both views feature the fairly naturalistic slender hourglass silhouette that became popular in the mid 1910s, with low bust, moderate waist compression, and slim but rounded hips.
Inspired by the way corsets were sized and sold in the 1910s, the Rilla comes in two waist-to-hip ratio (hip flare) size sets. The ‘Average’ size set has a 13” difference between waist and hip, and is best for those with a natural waist-to-hip difference of 9” or more. The ‘Slender’ size set has a 10” difference between waist and hip, and is best for those with a natural waist-to-hip difference of less than 9”.
