Ta-Da!
Please excuse my silly grin.
Here are a bunch of photos of my corset mock-up from the pattern that I drafted last week.
Looks pretty good from the front – nice and flat, which I am not! I should have posted a “without” photo, so you could see how much difference this is actually making to my shape. I realise it doesn’t look like much!
The back – almost completely laced up.
This is because I made a classic newbie drafting error, and whilst I took out a 2″ reduction for my waist, I forgot to take out an extra 2″ to allow for a gap at the back. That’s an amendment I need to make to the pattern straight away!
Side views – as you can see, there’s a bit of wrinkling around the waist at the back. I’ve posted this to the Livejournal Corsetmakers community, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some advice on getting rid of the wrinkles.
I think that’s pretty damn good for a first attempt though!
Hello! I just happened across your blog today, and I have to tell you that corset is just stunning. Lovely choice of fabric!
Thank you very much!
