Subject: Re: [h-cost] Corset cutting suggestion
I'm getting tired of the number of times I've needed to alter the corset
pattern I'm currently working on (the 1844 corset in Corsets and
Crinolines, the bust is way too big & I'm on my third round of
alterations
to reduce it)
************************
Look....you probably just need to step back a little....do something else
for a bit... then come back to it. <snip>
that's exactly what I'm doing actually as I need more SCA garb for an event
coming up over the Easter long weekend I'm making a boned Tudor kirtle and
I'm doing a lot of hand finishing so I can enter it into a competition.
After that I'll probably go back to my Victorian as I want to have the
outfit that will go over it ready by July for a Dickensian Ball. I think
that one last alteration should reduce the bust enough to fit, but it will
involve unpicking a seam that I've already sewn several times. I may try
another corset pattern later, but I've bought the boning cut to length for
this pattern and it wouldn't work for a different pattern.
