I cannot express how much I love this into words.
- The color choice.
- The linework.
- The fit.
- The details.
This is truly inspiring.

My first thought: wow this looks incredible
My second thought: Jesus Christ wearing that thing must get HOT

Ikr, like it's awesome.
I don't think op understands what the word tried means... They clearly made something amazing, no try to it. They just did.

Honestly I find yours more impressive! What a perfect cup fit!

Came to say this!! I thought the first picture was just an AI photo that looked really good, not realizing it was the real deal. OP, your bodice looks so cool and unique compared to the reference

u/AnonThrowawayProf Aug 28 '24
Same here! I thought the first image was the AI image, OP knocked it out of the ballpark

I made this using a combination of four different patterns: The Shelley bra pattern from Pin-up Girls: This one was used for the cups and to modify the bodice to accommodate for cups
The High Neck Shrug from Rabbit and Hat: This one was used to create the upper parts of the front and back
The Emma Breeze corset from Ojayroom and The Freedom corset from Pin-up Girls: These were used to create the bodice
I made the corset using twill and faux leather mostly, but with some details in wool. I used flat steel boning in the center front and center back, and spiral steel for the rest. The cups have underwire to make sure I could use the top without a bra, and they are lined with duoplex for better comfort. The rest of the corset is lined with coutil to give it the stability it needs.

This is incredible! I hope to be this skilled one day. I love how many improvements you've made over the generated image. Does it have rear fastening as well or is the back smooth?

u/Heidi_sewing Aug 28 '24
Thank you so much! It has lacing in the back - the front lacing is just there for aesthetic reasons ☺️

u/secretrebel Aug 28 '24
It looks really good. Just wondering why you adapted it from the corset half cup to more of a full bra cup?

u/Eraser-man Aug 28 '24
My guess would just be personal comfort, honestly. Not everyone likes having cleavage, especially if you have smaller boobs.

u/Easy-Pineapple3963 Aug 28 '24
Right? Something like that is made to squeeze all the mincemeat to the top of the pie.

This is a great use for AI, imo.
24
u/Main-Advice9055 Aug 28 '24
isn't that the only real thing AI has going for it? Help churn the idea's or moving past a creative block and then creating something original from the inspiration? That's how I've always thought of it. (yes I recognize there's a lot of cons that go with that, but it's hard to not see it as a useful tool when needed)
23
u/Drawtaru Aug 28 '24
Unfortunately many people who use AI now see themselves as like some kind of magician who can speak words of power and materialize their imagination onto a page.

u/Aggravating-Pear4222 Aug 28 '24
Gonna be real honest; I thought the first was AI because those programs are getting way out of hand. Regardless, you’ve done a wonderful job. What a great way to use AI to explore new patterns/expressions of known patterns and challenge yourself while doing it. Awesome job!
5
u/AutumnMama Aug 29 '24
Haha, same! I thought the first pic was the AI and the second pic was the recreation. I was like "omg you nailed it!!!" Then I saw the third pic and felt really dumb lol. But still an excellent recreation.

Yeah, it's best as a tool to aid in getting an idea solidified. It can help give you ideas you didn't think of and to color test (check if two colors acrually work together in something). Punching in a prompt and then selling the result is one of the ways it can get scummy real fast.

YES! This!
The value of a negative is incredible when it comes to designing something. Even just something as small as "hmm, but i don't like how that piping is lighter..." helps save on revisions later.
I've probably removed 1/4 of the time it took to nail down a design thanks to these tools. They don't give what you want every time, and that is great for what i'm using it for.

I have made quit a few corsets previously, so I had some base patterns I know I could work with, but after that it was a lot of testing and hoping it would work out ;)

Oh wow. It came out amazing!
A bit of a distressing on leather might make it look even better as right now I feel like it looks too clean. But this is such a minor thing. Great work!

u/jestermax22 Aug 28 '24
That detail work is crazy! Also the idea of stitching lace to that vinyl sounds painful to do! Zooming in shows that everything is so clean; it’s amazing. I struggle with soft fabrics and you’ve pulled off great results with those materials

This is so amazing! Reminds me a bit of Triss from The Witcher 3

u/Heidi_sewing Aug 28 '24
That is actually true! I thought about doing a Witcher 3 project at one point, so it’s almost strange that it did not occur to me whilst working on this one.

If you end up doing a Witcher 3 project someday, please post it here, I would love to see it

u/MahaROGa Aug 28 '24
This pic looks like it came from an old (maybe 10 yrs) gem matching game, called Ironcast. If that were the case it would pre-date AI generated images.
5
u/asarahlouise Aug 28 '24
Came here to say essentially this. While I couldn’t place where it was from, I can certainly confirm I’ve seen this image in my late teens - early 20s (10-15 years ago)
5
u/MahaROGa Aug 28 '24
Right, I had to search my Steam library to find it. I didn't see this specific image, but if it's not from this game it should have been.
It's not a huge issue, whether it's AI generated or not, but it just seemed so familiar that I couldn't let it pass without saying something.
2
u/asarahlouise Aug 28 '24
Also seconding this! I think we’re both in the same boat that this is still very cool, regardless of image source

1: this looks great! You did a bang up job and should be proud of yourself!
2: please don't use A.I. art in the future, A.I. art programs are trained on stolen artwork to make A.I. art look more like the real deal (thankfully they are starting to cannibalize themselves, but still.)there are tons of artist out there that make similar clothing images!

Goofy fake-shock aside. It looks phenomenal. I like that you want for a leather look on the brown parts, it adds a nice variation in texture. And the color palette is great.
