Just to prove I haven't been completely slack on project corset 2006

after I discovered (much to my horror) that someone had thrown away the envelope containing my simplicity 9769 pattern, I had a mad idea to draft a pattern myelf. I bought some cheap canvas from fabricland, and put together a very makeshift mockup. I'm pleased with how it worked out in general, but I think that I should have been more careful in placing my busk and my lacing holes to get a better idea of how it works.

and I think I might need to take the top in a wee little bit.

I think I understand why so many of the corsets I see have the bone casings on top of the seams - what a NIGHTMARE trying to sew them in the back!

flossing mockups for bone casings soon, I promise.
