Actual pictures of actual sewing
So, here's the grape dress.
The mirror really needs cleaning. This first pic is also when I first tried it on. I had to take it in at the bodice side seam, so it fits a little better now. These pictures aren't really representative of the actual colour. It's a few shades darker than the first pic.
And this is the 1840 corset in-progress. What's left is boning channels and binding, which I want to get done this weekend. The dress dummy doesn't squish, so it looks a little odd. I sort of tried it on and noticed that there's a rather substantial gap in the back. I'm hoping the boning might squish me a little more to make a better fit. Also, the bust was a bit too big. Hoping the boning will help with that too. If not, I can always put a drawstring in the very top. And you can see that there's not nearly enough grommets in yet. Putting in more should also help with the fit.
