ashamanja_babu says pictures. So I took a quick pic of the finished corset with the binding, lace (from Treadle!), and flossing. After I'd already sewn on the lace with the binding, I realized it would have been more accurate to add the lace over top of the binding and facing pointy edge up. But by that point it was already on and I wasn't redoing it. Oh well. ;p

The hoop has been cut out and the panels assembled and felled. I've marked where the twill tape will go for the hoop steel casings. Still not finished my shawl, but planning on working on it this evening while watching the Netflix show Stranger Things. Watched the first couple of episodes yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Kind of like Stephen King and The Goonies; even though it's modern, it's set in 1983 (almost typed 1883 lol) and really reminds me of 80s movies (which I love!).

Ooooo pretty, love your flossing!

Now since you're doing my bidding, how about pictures of it on you too? ;)

I'm glad you went ahead and did the flossing. It's such a nice touch on such a pretty corset. I'm looking forward to the final pictures.

Me too, especially since the bones are rather short, as you can see. Thanks for giving me the extra push to just get it done!
