I've seen this book, and I didn't care for it for the very same reason.
It seems counterintuitive to try to make a corset from a pattern
block. There's an entirely different principle at work--a different
kind of engineering, if you will. It seems to be a book for people who
want something that looks like a corset but doesn't actually function as
one.
Also politely disagreeing,

The idea that simply disagreeing with someone about something is "rude"
is absurd.
As for _Waisted Efforts_: Although I make corsets I've never drafted
one from a pattern block. But one thing I can say about that book, is
that it seriously needs editing and proofreading.

The "rude comment" part referred to my criticism of corset patterns
developed from a pattern block as seen in Waisted Efforts--unless
someone with a great deal of skill alters the pattern, the result is
almost always all wrong.
