1840 Corset :)
May. 8th, 2010 01:08 pmI adjusted all the gussets and the 1840 corset now fits fine. It's going to need some boning in the side bust, which was a little unexpected. But, it seems like I'm not the only person to have a need for boning there. This extant garment has boning in the exact same place. I thought that was neat. Hurray for documentation! :) Up next: Making the 1880 corset mock-up fit. Then I can order all the supplies for both at once. (Working a few more shifts would also probably help, so I can pay for all the supplies. :p) I have the fabric, cotton sateen and twill. I want yellow stitching for the 1840. I'm thinking of flossing the 1880 in red. But still not sure. Maybe making it a coloured corset... Too many options.
