I'm sitting here in my stays...

... checking the fit, I think I laced them way too tight yesterday and doh ! it hurt.
Now I can't figure out where my BF has uploaded my pictures from the camera onto the comp. Annoying. I have the blue coutil corset, the orange jacket and my almost finished stays to show... Oh well, then I'll just finish my rococo chemise, now that I was able to adjust the neckline...

Piccies !

... from my orange horror !

Ain't it... orange ? :D

And the corset...

Finally, the pictures !

This is my third corset, and like the first I made it from the LM Doré pattern. It's not for me, hence the little weirdness in the lacing.
The inside is blue cotton twill (sorry, no pics... completely forgot), the outside polyester blue/gold changing taffetas, interlined with white cotton twill as it was a bit stretchy. The flower trim was originally white and was dyed with tea. The lacing got the same treatment after the pictures were taken, and now it matches the outer fabric perfectly. I just love tea-dying. ^^
The corset has a spoon busk, spiral boning all around (next time I'll take spring steel for the back, I think), and a waist tape.

This is how it looked before I applied the flower trim
