18th C. stays in better light
Sort of like Oz: Do not look behind the curtain...I mean, too closely at the binding along the bottom edge. But I think I did OK for a very first corset!!
[EDIT] Ah ha! I've been given a tip over at an 18th C LJ site and was told my lacing is wrong. I vaguely knew that, but don't have a clue as to how to do the other kind no matter how I stare at it. Then the other question: I have to unlace this thing by myself at 2am...can I do that with the proper 18th C. lacing style?

This was the Butterick B4254 View A 18th Century stays pattern unaltered. I cut it out one size smaller than the pattern says is my size on advice from others who have made this one. Perfect!!
