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?

Good job Kat!! *claps* Looks good, just a teeny bit low for my liking.

*grin* Thank you!
Yeah, totally. If I had thought about it, I would have cut it higher because now I can't wear it alone. Unless I AM alone!! But in a way it's good because I can actually wear it under my 18th C. sacque back gown and it won't peek out.
