Elizabethan Corset is DONE!! (well, it's wearable)
So yesterday I finished sewing down the binding, and put in the last eyelet on the shoulder strap. So it's done. Well, as done as any project is ever going to be.
anielmom helped me with a fitting last week and we took some pictures. The 1/4 inch flat steel I put in the back channels on either side of the lacing eyelets isn't strong enough and pulled. Down the road I'm going to replace them with 1/2 inch flat steel, possible two in each channel to fix that. BUT it's wearable with my Tudor dress, of which we fitted the bodice over the corset (and my newly fixed shift) and they all fitted together perfectly!
I will post pictures later this afternoon, as I am stealing a few moments to myself to post this before K gets up and we start our busy day!
