Oh I don't remember seeing that dress linked to before-- I like that one quite a lot! What era is that one? I want to learn more about that one. I really like the buttons at the chest and the smooth waist panel. That's really flattering-looking.
I admit my instinctive understanding of metric measurements are pretty bad, but 6 cm doesn't seem like *all* that much. #4 wouldn't be unreasonable! Although given that you have to take cortisone-- those are so terrible. They just make you swell up. I don't know if counting on continuing to lose weight would be such a good idea-- although I don't know you well enough to judge, of course. it would just make me feel so terrible, to be ill and then have this feeling of failure if you didn't manage to do so...
But ugh, what a pain. I'm so terrible at dealing with these kinds of frustrations-- I really want to get into making corsets, but I know that the first setback like that I experienced would turn me off it so thoroughly... Which is why I'm still nerving myself up to picking my first project to start. I can barely sew, but I really really want to learn...
