More corset sighs
The corset still sucks in a lot of places, but I will probably just make it worse by taking it a part again. At least it gives a good shape and the bad parts are below the waist which is an area I plan to cover with drawers and petticoats anyway. The upper part looks pretty good, and I think ...eh...inviting :) So now I'm going to find something to bind it with and then put some lace along the upper edge.
The good thing is that now that I have long enough laces (took the ones from the now too big 1901 corset) I can put it on myself.
But next corset I'm going to hand sew! If I want the stitching to look good that's the way! I have said it before, but next time I'm going to make the corset from 1844 from Corsets and Crinolines. And yesterday I found an extremely helpful site, where a woman showed step by step how she had made that corset. It's here, but it's in norwegian.
