Back in February of this year, 2012, a friend of mine, Hollie, and I started talking about my making a corset for her. Around the beginning of March, Hollie and I went out to Hobby Lobby in Lufkin and got the main stuff for the corset: cloth, matching thread, and the pattern. They were out of boning so she was going to get it for me later. I took measurements of her in February and after a couple of weeks after we got the initial stuff for the project, I took measurements again.
When I began the project, I had to take the pattern back to get a larger sized one because we'd grabbed the wrong one. :-) Then, I got to work. I currently live in a household consisting of myself, my best friend, her husband, her two children - 5 yrs and 14 yrs - and a dog. I also work weekends and have ADD. To make a long story short, the project isn't done yet.
I have sewn up most of the corset as you'll see by the pictures I'm including with this post. I did a fitting a few days after that. Wednesday and Thursday(21 and 22 March), I added the boning and added the back part of the corset. On March 27, Hollie and I have arranged to get together for fitting #2.
I'll be getting the interfacing, eyelets, lacing and the rest of the boning this weekend. If the fitting goes well, I'll have the entire project done by the end of the month. :-)
These pictures aren't professional, but I think they'll do the trick. What do you think?
