Corset Progressing
Jul. 17th, 2014 09:07 pmI'm finally feeling that I'm making good progress on my knitted corset. I'm about thirty rows from starting the center back gores. That means I'm getting close to halfway around the body. It looks decent through the waist and hips, but the bust will probably be somewhat big. When I held it up to myself after knitting the bust gores, it seemed okay, but on the dummy, it definitely looks like it's for someone a bit curvier than I am.
I even managed to take pictures. The lumpiness at the waist is not the corset wrinkling but rather the corset conforming to the waist contours of the dummy where the adjustment dials are.

The side back:
And yes, the dummy is temporarily residing in the garage. Once it comes inside, I'll be able to update on the 1868 dress that I finally got back to working on last week. The bodice is done, and the skirt trim is 70% finished.
