Today I finished with the bones and put some trim around the top and bottom. The inside of this corset is pretty hideous as you can see. Most of the corset is done now, save the ends where it will be laced up. I am out of caps for my bones so that will have to wait. For now, lets reflect on what we have learned not to do.
Do NOT

• Cut your pieces too small!
• Remove the pattern from the cloth until you are ready to use it - then place it somewhere where you are able to see the pieces lined up.
• Exaggerate your channels - too large results in sloppy work while too small results in unusable channels.
• Sew the wrong ends together! - With corsets it is amazingly easy to do as so many of the pieces look alike.
• Cut your boning with scissors - you will need man tools for this.
• You can not sew through boning - don't even try.

 All of these, save the last one, I have done.

This is the inside, My, what weird channels I have!

This is the outside.

The outside isn't too bad, it will suffice. The lines could certainly use some work. Since there is so little forgiveness with corsets, every step must be done with care and preperation.
