Successful Mockup
I recut the De Gracieuse corset at 85% scaling, and it fit beautifully except for the bust gussets. I took almost an inch off of each gusset. This pattern was made for a woman much more buxom than I. Now I get to rip it all apart again so I can start sewing it together for real because it's not completely a mockup. I cut it out of drill so I can just sew the pieces together as the real thing.
I had always intended to make this corset with a heavy gold cotton sateen backed with drill, but I live in Arizona and decided that it would be wiser to go with a single layer corset. I'll do something fun like red for the flossing.
