Effigy bodies fitting (with pics)

[sstormwatch]

I am wearing my effigy pair of bodies, and am amazed I was able to get the front to close within an inch or so to full closure, although I had to wait a bit for the bodies to warm up. The temp lacing strip is under strain, so I am glad I will be having my usual hand made ones. I did make this for a slightly skinnier me, but this is even close

That is positively gorgeous!

One suggestion if I might though.. before you bind the bottom front, put it on and sit in it a good while, off an on, bend around, etc.. I can almost promise you won't be comfortable with how low the point is.

Even after the initial trimming on my pink one, it was still a bit too long, poked my thighs a fair bit, and is a good chunk of why I snapped several reeds on the ride home. =(

I did sit and bend and move around before I sat down on the couch and typed up how I was feeling in them. They are just a half inch longer than my previous stays, and they didn't rub or chafe or poke at anything. I actually have a longer torso, tho with a short true waist. But I will take it up a little more, to more closely match my older stays.

Ah, I'm cursed with not only a short waist, but short everythings. =/

It really does look faboo though, makes me want to make a 3rd with some good brocade. =D

Thank you and you are welcome. I've actually been motivated by the latest tailordrews' stays that he's posting on.
