green_marthaOnly three buttonholes to go on the combinations. Still no pink ribbon - someone got an order wrong and my sewing supplies dealer recieved red instead of pink. Armholles are still unbound as well.
I've cut out and assembled this thing, and I'm so not happy with it it's not even funny. I got the alterations right to correct the pattern's original flaws, and the first try-on was not so bad, but after that it only went downward.
I have the same problem with this one as with my Doré : I've got waaaaaaayyyy to much place for my boobs, and merely taking out some fullness at the front just flattens them, and it looks bleuargh.
I tried to take out some of the excess roominess from the sides of the bust area, and it resulted in the corset shifting lower on my torso, and did nothing to improve the problematic breast support. So I took that step out and returned to the previous stage, with just a little fullness taken in between the third and fourth piece.
Oh, and did I mention I left out the seventh piece on each side, on a corset that was supposed to fit me perfectly from the measurements given, and that it laces almost close at the upper edge, and is on the small side at the lower edge ? Gah...
And of course, I have no separable zipper and don't want to nsert the busk yet. Yay for lacing oneself into a corset *acid irony*
Some ideas on what could be done :
- take some of the excess material of at one side seam
- add hip gusset (would make the waist look better anyway)
- pray
- sleep
Any other suggestions ?
