Just thought I'd update this since it's been a while since I've last posted.
My corset has gone together quite well, though to be honest it's been a while since I last worked on it. I've sewn in all the boning channels and now all I have to do is slip in the boning and bind it shut, but I have not purchased my spiral steel bones yet so the project is stalled until I do. It seems to fit quite well and all the attention that goes into the fitting issues really does pay off in the end! It may seem like a lot of extra work but I'm be glad I did it!
Even though I haven't worked on the corset much I have worked on a few "between" projects, and I finished a jacket that was started a long time ago but sat around half finished for nearly a year.
Have recently been able to get my hands on a copy Corsets and Crinolines by Nora Waugh, and I am very interested in making up the Late 1820s stays pattern. I wish I could start on it right away but I haven't even finished my Victorian corset yet and I'll probably be too busy for the rest of the year and it may not be until early next year until I can start :( *sigh* I really do hope that I can start on it sooner.
I have much to do so I'd best be off.
