Close, but no cigar

I have just a few more inches to apply the bias binding and then to do the back grommets and the corset is done. However, it's too late. I need another hour to finish, and I simply don't have another hour.

I'll have to wear something else to the wedding.

It was a valiant effort!!

What a shame, but I'm amazed that you managed to whip it up so amazingly quickly!

Considering it has 56 bones, I was surprised, too!! I don't think I followed the directions quite exactly as they called for flatlining, interlining, AND lining. Isn't that one too many linings?? I ignored the interlining as I couldn't find in the directions when they were supposed to be used. It's not as if the stitching was hidden, so what's it for? Eh, who cares! It's just for me!
