I was able to find steels but no busque so I used a hook and loop tape down the front. Grommets down the back of course and I got quite good at that, using an awl instead of punching through the fabric. It fit reasonably well and I will make another mock up as it was 2012 when I made this the first time. I used some pretty flannel for the body and turned the seam allowance over to work as channels just to see how the mock up would fit. This seemed perfectly acceptable for the trial run. And a very fun project!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325044238606077405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-47120495350940056362016-12-07T10:01:20.615-08:002016-12-07T10:01:20.615-08:00hello, i'm just starting out and i've trie...hello, i'm just starting out and i've tried three or four corset pattern's so far and none of them fit right. i seem to get either the boning wrong or the corset just dont fit right. can you help?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108132585881313685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-87241068296273434232016-10-24T19:29:41.676-07:002016-10-24T19:29:41.676-07:00Hmm, I'm not sure what the problem is.

I see it will add to the stiffness and help with support and keep the "fat" from pushing through if softer fabric is used. Corsets are meant to keep things hidden and together. Busts were not meant to be held up the were meant to be held in. It wasn't till women became so active the their busts moved so much and got in the way that we needed them up and in.<br />I did find a catalogue for corsets, the year is unknown (around 1900's) but it provides the different types you might want depending on your body type. Some women did not want the high bust but may have like the low or medium bust, and it shows those at the end with rather large bust wanting a type that was low waisted but aloud for the bust to dip towards the center of the corset. So I thin it is each person desire how they like to wear them.<br />http://archive.org/stream/catalogwbcorsets00wein#page/16/mode/1upvioletlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967625438124942676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-17603483691447755412012-11-20T06:34:18.991-08:002012-11-20T06:34:18.991-08:00Thanks!
