AB Dolores
Finally finished my niece's corset - used the Aranea Black Dolores pattern with a gazillion mock ups. I need to move the hook and eye at the top over a little, its not doing anything and shows because its too close to the centre at present.
The very first panel I cut on the grain instead of the bias, I realised my error when sewing but persevered with it but for the final prom version will make sure I cut it on the bias to hopefully eliminate the wrinkles in the first panel.
She loves it and I'm deeply relieved - because my mantra is good enough is good enough on this project. Now to get her to wear it for a few hours before doing it all again for prom and finishing off the modesty panel too.
With thanks to everyone for their support, advice and encouragement in this group, can't believe how much I've learned or how many hours I've spent, thinking, reading, watching, mocking up, sewing, unpicking and dreaming of corsets since this mission started.
