I finally put on my 1880's corset so that I could fit my corset cover and got pictures of my combinations, corset, and petticoat. I think I recently mentioned I was in arrears on my picture-taking...

The corset cover ended up really big. I wound up taking about 3" out plus taking in the darts in some places. The pattern for the combinations came from the same book and fit pretty well using the same rule, but this didn't work out quite so well. We'll see how it goes when I start drafting bodice patterns! At any rate, the corset cover just needs hems and buttons and buttonholes, and it will be finished.
