Underbust Corset (HourGlass)

This is what I have written in my sewing journal at home so if the dates don't correspond that's why


Jan 1/07


I'm starting this project with a lot of preparation beforehand ,first I looked up corset patterns online, and found one at http://www.geocities.com/mekyria/corset01.html the website was a little challenging but since i like challenges this was OK.(reason it was challenging was that her English was a little off here and there, printing the pattern was a pain in that it would not let me get the whole page{the right side} (haven't tried it with a mac yet)). I had a little problem with drafting the pattern itself since the hip measurement on me is 85 to 86cm and her lowest is 90cm so I have done the fake corset pattern in the 90 cm *(another short problem is that I don't usually use metric system)I will draft a second one later on closer to my size, I'm taking a bit of a risk on this one ,so as soon as I can get the bones (metal or plastic) and the eyelets and the front fasteners, will buy 2 sets of everything so that I can make two corsets the fake one and the finished one.
