I haven't picked out any exact pattern or image, I don't know exactly how the corset is going to look like yet. The basic idea is of a corset without gussets (or with as little as possible), with rather vertical seams. I got a very special (and very funny, too) order from a man who bet with someone that he would live and behave like a woman for two days, which includes, of course, him being dressed as a lady. I think the point is that no one may recognize him, but I'm not sure, anyway, it's none of my business. The thing is, he wants me to make him a corset which would form his body to resemble a woman figure. This means to squeeze the waist. I thought some corset of the victorian style might be good for that, but the intention is not to be authentic, but to form the body. And as I've only done corsets for myself (using plastic boning), I wasn't sure about what kind of boning should I use in this case. I don't like plastic boning much because it's quite thick, so I started wondering about some steel. And repeating what I said above, the corset will be worn for two days without a break (except for sleeping). But I think I'll recommend the man to wear it some time before, to get used to it.
