Black Corset Evolution

[peculiarlypink]

Thought i'd take the time to post the pics here from when i made my black corset a couple of years ago. (Admittedly this is a trial run for posting the pics of making my wedding dress after the wedding this fall.)



I started with an idea, made a rough cut and started tweaking from there:
