{"product_id":"9781849943895","title":"Experimental Corsets: Inspiration and techniques for wearable and sculptural garments","description":"An exploration of the corset as a motif for textile artists, with practical tips and examples. Used for the last 400 years to contort the female body into a variety of fashionable silhouettes, the corset has become a fascinating and hugely popular motif for modern textile artists who wish to represent the female body using the largely feminine traditions of textile and stitch. Beginning with a step-by-step guide to constructing a simple fabric corset, the book goes on to explore more contemporary and experimental approaches to construction, from using unusual materials such as lace, metal, paper and found fibres to up-cycling or repurposing existing garments to make a statement. This practical guide is full of exercises for creating intimate garments and wearable art in two- and three-dimensions and is packed with inspiring work and installations by other contemporary artists.","brand":"Pavilion Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177789243632,"sku":"9781849943895","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849943895_p0.jpg?v=1769895697","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849943895","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
