18th C. stays in better light

[madamemodiste]

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?

Ooooh, thank you!

Hrm...so my grommet placing is wrong for spiral lacing. Opps-lol! Think I can do it anyway?

I bet you could!

You could do ladder lacing with your placement though, which would be slightly more historical ;)
