Figuring out corset stuff

[mala_14]

So my whole corset boning indecision could have been totally moot if I didn't have enough fabric. I'm leaning toward the grouped boning. It's really neat because a lot of the corsets I saw have the front groups put on the outside of the corset. The casing is applied to the outside front and covers the seamlines and seam allowances.

But that means I need enough of the fashion fabric to make the casings. And I only have half a yard. With some creative manoeuvring and minimal seam allowances on some pieces (the ones that don't need to be felled), I managed to make all the pieces fit! And JUST BARELY still leave enough space for the casings (right) and binding (bottom). Yay!


And here's a bonus picture of my newly dished busk:
