I spent yesterday and the day before making a corset!
I've got it all complete bar the eyelets/grommets for lacing. The ones I have split and burr when attached, which will scratch the skin and fray the lacing. D:
Take a looklook:
Here are two WIPs from day one, detailing the way I boned and reinforced the lining. :D
This is it, as complete as I can get it until I get those eyelets! It'll fit so snug and lovely when it's finished. The waist is about 3.5in smaller than my natural waist, so it should hold a lovely shapy when laced on properly. It is, however, a little bit too long above the waist, so I may have to shorten it there, or have better posture while I wear it. xD
The boning is plastic Birch crap, so I don't know what resilience the corset will have, but I'm hoping it will hold its shape well enough, and not buckle at the lacing. I've reeeeeally reinforced that with a lot of the boning, so here's to hoping!
