OK, so I haven't done a page in the costume gallery for the pink gardecorps, but it's only 8.40 in the morning on a sunday, so what can one expect?
But I do have a picture of the gardecorps and of my new grey corset with a curved front, inspired by Sempstress' curved front corset. This is "the comfy corset", it doesn't really reduce my waist measurement and has enough room for my bust, which my green kirtle really hasn't. Well of course there's place for them, they're soft and can be compressed a lot, but this is more comfortable. This corset has the same waist measurement as my first corset used to have when it was laced tighter han this, which is good, but the bust measurement is naturally bigger. I can still use my old dresses, because the bodice then holds in the bust a little more. As you can see it is half boned (cable ties) and because it's made from two layers thin but sturdy cotton and one layer silk taffeta it weighs next to nothing compared to my old corset from handwoven linen. It would probably benefit from being taken in a centimetre or two, but I've already taken it in so much that that will have to wait, there is no more room to take it in in the side seams, the boning is too close, so I would have to open it and make seams on the front pieces and I don't want that. Not yet, if it gets too big I will do it.
