way too busy for loads of sewing

It's great! It looks very well made and quite historically accurate. Did you use flat or spiral steel boning?

wishing she had black yarn

It looks great! Did you have any problems with the sizing? After I made mine it turned out to be a size and a half too small. I'm still not quite sure what happened........at any rate, I like yours a lot! You did a great job!

working on a quilt

@lauriana: I used both. The spiral steel in the normal tunnels, and on both side of the lacing I used flat steel.

@keeleysews: Learning by doing ;) Make a mock-up and when you think it fits, start sewing. My first corset wans't the best, but the more I made, the better they were.

@antigone: No, I hadn't problems. Size 10 is perfect for me.
