I'm so lazy right now

Today at work I have spent most of the time drinking tea and chatting. I can't seem to get any serious work done. I hang around on LJ, hope for people to e-mail me etc. I have to get working seriously on my next chapter, but I'm just bored and uninspired.
Yesterday I started on the mock-up for my 19th century corset. I'm using this pattern ( I think I got the link from marymont, thank you.) First I planned to make the same corset as Jen Thompson, but I sort of like the look with gores better. This pattern also only has straight boning channels which means that I can use boning that is readily available in Göteborg and don't have to order it from Stockholm. In fact I can use the 1/2" german boning that I have already. I had planned to buy artificial whalebone, but seeing how my finances are it's a good idea to use what I have. Well, hopefully I will finish the mock-up tonight so I can try it on.

Bad corset!

I finished the mock-up, put some boning CF and CB and tried it on. It was NOT a success. First of all, it turned out to big. I don't know how that happened, but it was the same with the 1901-corset. It had a waist measurement of 82 cm when it should be 75. But it's not only that, it didn't seem to give me much of a waist. Of course it was hard to lace with so litte boning, but still.
I will make a mock-up of the Lavinia H Foy corset that jenthompson used and then I will decide which I like best. Putting in gores is such a pain, as I was reminded of while sewing this, so I hope the Foy-corset works out.

I got this from ciorstan, so it's all her fault.

I have cut all the pieces for the trial version of the Lavinia H Foy corset, but not sewn all of them together and it is too late to use the sewing machine now. this one will not be to big though, probably the opposite. But it's easier to make a corset a little bigger than scaling it down.
