I want a nap now.
What should have been quick took forever, and I’m not sure how I’m going to finish the bottom edge.* I’m not following a commercial pattern for this, and that’s starting to show.*not a request for help. There’s a complicated order of operations problem that I introduced by the way I inserted the hip panels. I will solve it be being a little messy.

Still a very funny object. Right side is fully sewn down and underwired, left is just clipped in. I think if I knew what I know now, I would have made a regular over-bust corset.

#sewingOnly thing left to do is bind the hem and hammer in grommets. This thing took at least three times my initial time estimate, but it is looking like a thing someone made on purpose, so that’s good.

Bones need to be bent, and the cups need to be taken in a little. I think i can do that. The body of the corset ends up contributing to that part of the fit, so I just need to compensate for that.
Not bad. -

OK, the showy ruffles are ruffled, and now I have to ruffle the support ruffles. I have to figure out how much this is and go from there.
Goal is to have all the ruffles sewn to the netting by the end of the day. -

I’m assuming that other people would be faster at this.
The first four rows are sewed on, and the fifth is pinned on. The top row is three layers, every other tier is two ruffle strips, one of two layers and the other a single. I’m lining up their hems the best I can as I go.
