The boning channels have all been sewn in (some better than others...)! I'm wearing the corset right now and have pictures to show you. There are a few small wrinkles near the waist, but nothing too significant. The very bottom is a bit loose, but that shouldn't really matter. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it looks so far. I get more waist compression than I was expecting. The bottom of some of the bones pokes out a little, but flossing should fix that. There's supposed to be more boning, a lot more actually. Each seam is supposed to have two bones and there's supposed to be an extra two bones in panel 3. However, on me, in no place around the waist is the gap between bones more than 2 inches, so I think I'm ok with 1 bone per seam and skipping the extra ones in the middle of the panel.




Picture taken leaning forward a bit to get the right silhouette.

I have white lacing cord but the green ribbon looks pretty.


Next up, binding.
