I have made the corset and it gives a little more room like a few mm but
not that you actually see it while wearing.
But I think it is a little more comfortable than having the reeds
running up to the top.
And the top is less stiff.

I'm pondering 16th century flat fronted bodies and kirtles, and the
pair of bodies of Dorothea von Neuburg on page 113 of Patterns of
fashion.
The boning comes up only to the bottom of the breast curves. The
Tudor Tailor references this boning pattern and says it's important to
maintain the proper curved lines.
I've made a similar garment for myself and got a perfectly flat front,
with no difference from the same garment made with the boning running
over the breasts from the upper edge to the (slight raised)
waistline. Obviously bodies vary, so I'm asking if anyone has found a
noticeable difference when using this boning pattern, and what it was?
