18th C. stays sewing diary

I think I got a lot done yesterday and Wednesday. Here is the fashion fabric flatlined to the canvas and pinned to the mannequin. The lining with the boning channels traced on is waiting.





Next I sew together the lining pieces, stitch in the millions of boning channels, cut and insert boning, put in grommets, and ...make and apply bias trim to the whole darn thing. Oh yeah, I also have to buy lacing and dye my hair. ACK! I have a LOT of work to do before the wedding tomorrow!!

Looking good so far! :)

What sort of boning are you planning on?

Good lines on it - it's going to look great.

You've got a busy day (I *understand*)! At least you don't have to worry about the lower half of the outfit :)

This corset is to be plain to better showcase the gorgeous skirt you made me!!
