Mock-up the first

mala_14So this is the mock-up of the shaped panels. The fabric I'm using isn't quite heavy enough (cotton/poly sateen), nor do I have the right kind of boning on hand, flats instead of spirals. The next mock-up will be two layers and that should help some. Right now, it mostly looks just like the mock-up I did of the 1880s version of this corset, but shorter, so not very exciting. However, this looks less curvy from the front and more curvy from the back than that one, which is weird, might have something to do with the boning. I also think I managed to get the bust a bit rounder and lower the waist a bit like I wanted to.
Things I am going to change for the next mock-up. You can see where I drew all over it. The red lines are where I'm planning to change the panels and add gussets. I am also going to add some length to the bottom of the back of the corset. The back hip also needs some more room. You can see how it's riding up and wrinkling in the side and back pics.
So that's it so far. I think the gussets will do a good job, but I guess we'll see in the next mock-up.
