Continuing progress

This past week I put the gussets into the fronts and backs of my 1840 corset. Two bust gussets, one front hip, and one back hip per side, equals eight gussets in all. I took some pictures, but I had to use my dad's camera since mine has finally died and the program hasn't been downloaded onto the computer yet, and I'm feeling too lazy to do it. I have to say, gussets are a real pain, especially since I flat-lined my main pieces. This led to trouble making sure that both layers caught as I sewed in the gussets from the top. (Method used: koshka-the-cat.com/1830_pattern.html) So, most of the gussets I ended up sewing twice, at least in parts. I'm glad that's all done. Up next is the busk.
