Corset Progress

I had the day off work and not much on my to-do list so I spent a good deal of time working on my 1876 corset. I found that the busks I have are both 12", and this corset needs a 14" busk. I ordered one, but until it arrives I'm stuck. I got everything assembled except for the center front panels and put in the grommets and all the boning channels, again except for the center front. Now I just have to wait for the postal service. I could cut the bones, but it will be easier to manipulate the corset while putting on the center front panels if it's unboned.

Instead I'll hem a dress I mostly made last weekend then go back to the waistcoat until my busk arrives.
