Today I worked on the pattern for my dress (the bodice) I will cut out a size 8 instead of a size 10. I've traced the pattern on tracing paper then I turned it over and traced it again ,flipped it over on the drawing paper and traced it onto the paper. then i cut out the pattern once I had relined the pattern.

Today I cut out my inner part of my fake corset. then I saw an article in Vogue Patterns talking about foundation. I found out that i can change the the spiral boning and that my boning (plastic , fabric covered) is not very good for corseting . I also found that my velvet is not enough to make the corset . So I will need to get the velvet from another source.

Today we went to Vogue, got busk (12.49 each (yikes)) it's 9 in (less than 23cm). The busk is shown below.
I got my cord for the corset, and my hook and eyes. Then we went to Fishmans and got the boning for 1.30 a yard(covered). The boning is a little light-weight but I will use it anyways. I found out that I may have enough velvet to make my corset and not have to buy any. I lay ed out my pattern for my fake corset. I will cut it out tomorrow. will order fabric online.Jan 16/07
Friday went to Walmart to get the supplies and fabric, got some of the supplies, no fabric.
today called fabric stores to find out about metal boning and busks'. Vogue had the busks' and plastic boning (metal was too long 32 cm ((needed 22cm)))
