Getting things done

mala_14Well, in this time after school but before I start working, I've been trying to be productive. I've been doing a decent amount of sewing, working on mock-ups. Unfortunately no pictures because my camera is broken. :(
1860 corset mock-up: Changing the tag now to 1880 corset because that's really what I'm shooting for. I made it slightly curvier (all the straight seams are now slightly curved) and significantly longer than the original. I've got mock-up two cut out and the pieces sewn together. No bones in it yet and not yet tried on because the lacing strips are currently on my other mock-up.
1840 corset mock-up: This is version um, not entirely sure. The back pieces are still the same, but the front is different. I just tried it on and I need to slightly change the shape of the bust gussets. Bust gussets are a huge hassle. And the back hip gusset needs to be taken in. Also, somehow I could lace this one much more closed and I'm thinking it needs to be taken in centre front so that the bust gussets aren't sitting under my arms. ;p It has a really nicely nipped in waist though. It makes my waist look way smaller even though it's almost the same measurement.
Red cotton dress: This is cut out. Haven't worked on it since because I'm too lazy to change the thread in the machine. It's yellow on the top and black in the bobbin at the moment. Plus, once I get started on it I'll need a zipper pretty soon, which I don't have yet.
I think that's about it for now.
