First corset in the making

After two days of intense hands on corsetry classes my corset is finally beginning to take shape. I opted for silk dupioni for material and somehow managed to stuff in 26 bones. The pattern itself is a very simple Tudor style corset, but the boning is hard work. Absolutely love the process though, so I doubt this will be my last.

On that note, just received confirmation that my first corsetry book has shipped.

Here’s a couple of photos of the work in progress:

    Wow, looks like you’ve done a lot for only 2 classes! Looks fantastic, can’t wait to see it finished.

    Heh. In this case ‘a class’ is 8 full on hours of hard labour :D
