Clamshell Lace Corset Belt

"Winter is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe! I will certainly have some fitness goals on my list, but this year, would you resolve with me to look and feel beautiful every step of the way? Adding this beautiful crochet lace corset belt to a favorite maxi dress or tunic will help pull together your look and flatter your figure while you work on those New Years’ Resolutions. You’ll need a small amount (less than half) of a skein of Premier Cotton Fair Yarn, a G 4.0mm crochet hook, and a length of ribbon or cord to tie the corset front. I used a long strand of braided faux sued cord for a fun, boho inspired look. This pattern was designed as a part of the Make it for Me CAL hosted through Elk Studios Handcrafted Crochet Designs."
