I built this corset initially as an exercise, then completed it for Foundations Revealed. Then, I dismantled some of the external decoration, which seemed like too much. It's my first foundation wear piece in a series of Edwardian undergarments.
Hopefully, I'll be able to wear it soon. In the meantime, my notes on it are as follows:
Carve a sweetheart into the bust line. I've made several straight-across pieces now, and feel like I need to get a bit bolder. Use cotton in the next one, not silk, so it can stand as an undergarment. No crystals. Double-stitch the seams. Cut 8 yards of lacing, not 7. Measure my waist before cutting instead of cutting to some random number.
