Thanks so much to everyone who gave me flossing color suggestions. You've got me thinking.
Instead of trimming the bottom edge as marked during the fitting I decided to I leave it as is and shape it up when I do a final fitting.
I feel confident enough that I'm not going to sew a second mock-up. I probably should since I added at the bust. But I'm thinking fitting issues will be minor, and fixable by just taking in, or letting out, a small amount at a seam line. Hopefully.

It's a great help for me to see how you've adjusted the pattern, so thank you for sharing it on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI also have Norah Waugh's book, Corsets and Crinolines, but find it hard to adjust the patterns. The patterns in Jill Salen's 'Corsets' are a little easier to enlarge, so maybe a tip for when you've finished ;-)
