Oooh really pretty corset. I've started working on one that I will hopefully be able to wear to work if I don't make it too stiff. Really looking forward to seeing the finished restult with yours.

Thank you, as pretty as it is I will be happy when it is done. I don't think I have had a corset fight me so badly to be made in a while. It is disheartening.

Is the style you are making similar? My spoonbusk is making me crazy.

Ugh I hate it when that happens. As of now mine is nothing more than an altered pattern from Past Pattersn. I believe it's their earlier 19th century pattern (up to about 1860). Since mine would be for work I've got to figure a reasonable way to be able to use it and dress myself and still lift boxes around.

Why would it effect your ability to lift boxes? Does the corset have straps?

I don't know for sure that it would, but it is strapless and I have to be able to move around pretty freely without fear of it moving around. I've been thinking about it a lot today and think I'm going to give it a go with it and see what happens. Worst case scenario is that I have to go change in the middle of my day. (see my most recent post on my blog and you'll see why).
