frualeydisAfter taking in the corset twice I now have a comfortable corset that fits me. I need to shorten the boning at the sides and a little in mid-back (it's half boned). it was a good trial run for the coming effigy-style corset. Of course this one doesn't have tabs, which the effigy has and mine will, but adding boned tabs to the pattern isn't that complicated.
So now I'm going to shorten those cable ties and bind the bottom edge and making four eyelets for the shoulder straps and then I can start on my long-delayed tudor project. this is the main inspiration, although i twill have smaller sleeves since I'm remaking a c. 1300 sleeved surcoat into a tudor dress.
And yes, I will make a real noble tudor dress some day too, but this one has a giant beret!!
