Yipee
I just got into Ravelry!
Spiralred on Ravelry
You can see a hat I knit recently on there if you're on there. I started a corset last night, but in my haste of inspiration I did the chest rather wonky. I was just looking at an old link I had for a "Brassiere Complete" draft and I used that to draft a cup sloper that I cut and appended to a previous underbust pattern. It looks okay just sewn, but there is no chest reduction at all, doesn't even fit snugly even though I took out a good 5 and 1/2" out in the vertical seams. I think I screwed up in cutting the side front pieces, I cut that into two so that the side of the cup would fit better, but I think that was unnecessary and that the original underbust actually covered a larger area than I anticipated. I think it can be fixed by increasing the reduction in that area and maybe the center seam. The waist has the perfect amount of reduction but the chest, my breasts were swimming in.
