1912 Corset in Progress

[mala_14]

The back facings are now sewn on. This weekend I'm working on grommets, cutting out boning channels, sewing in boning channels, and binding. I may not get it all done, but most of it should be manageable. And since I claim progress, here are pictures as proof. :)






I'm going to trim the seam allowances and apply boning casings over them. A waist tape would probably have been beneficial, but I don't have any tape wide enough around, so I thought I'd skip it. There are period examples that don't have waist tapes.
