ladyjanellyAlicia and I in corsets. Man, that red one fits her so good. I need to put another 2 bonings in the front next time, but that's all I'd change, I think. That one is two layers of structure, with the boning between them, and the decorative layer on the outside attached at the back, top and bottom. I really like how smooth it looks.
Mine still was a little big (or my post-pregnancy body is changing daily). That is one layer of structure attached to the face all over with the boning between. Not as smooth, and I won't do that again. What I do like is the strips of black between the pieces. That's maxi-piping, which gives such a sharp look to the patchwork.
Anyway, here's the pics! If anybody has feedback or suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

* You should have a couple inch gap in the back where the lacing is. This helps you not die by having alittle bit of give in the corset.
* You want to lace a corset from the bottom to the waist and the top to the waist so you have the maximum amount of fine adjustment. You don't want a quick-lace shoelace like you have, but the over and under Xs.
