this weekend I got the mockup which will be the interior of the corset done for my friend. from jill salens book corsets I used the khaki corded corset with the 21 inch waist enlarged it and then adjusted it to size
added an inch at the top for full bust and adjusted the waist to the wearers natural waist size
I was exoecting once it was done to need to make bigger hip and bust gussets but they worked out quite nicely. the bit I added at the center front came back off in order to adjust for squisability
we decided after trying the mock up on to leave it without a busk and just use boning instead at the center front.
i left the mock up gores uncorded and think I will leave it that way for the final
the large front hip peices I will cord as well I need to make a tummy anjustment
I am so happy with the way it turned out
I am contemplating makine the hip piece the bust gores and back hip goers in a contrastiong colour and the main body pieces in black but I have to see if I can find something around as this garment is a stash item.
the only thing I got done for myself is measurements over my corset and hopefully that means i can draft up my bodoce tommmorow night. wednesday when I get back to the corset I will take pictures
