I was having problems with the light so the above image is soft. Here's one with a bit more detail.
And here is a close up of the flossing. The top row is the interior of the corset, the bottom the exterior.
I have gold ribbon for the lacing and will snap a picture of it on as soon as possible. Until then, the statistics.
7 yards - rayon 1 1/2 inch wide petersham ribbon
5 yards - 1/4 inch wide double face satin ribbon
1/4 yard - cotton batiste (fusible)
1 spool - cotton thread
1 spool - silk thread
20 - double zero brass grommets
1 - 11 inch gold busk (trimmed to 7 3/4 inches)
84 inches - steel boning
number of seams picked out - zero That's right, zero!
Wow! It is beautiful! And the gold flossing was a really good choice!
