Waugh 1901


I was very careful in cutting this one out.  I used the rotary cutter and took my time.  It was well worth it because as I pinned, the pieces folded together like a beautiful origami.  I still need to stitch it together and try it on, but it looks totally do-able.  The first pinned try-on (with the in muslin reverse, fill of pins, no busk, no boning, no grommet panel) it fit like a glove.  So, I'll have to see what happens when the mock-up is completed.  Looking at it more objectively here, I may increase the busk length by an inch.
I love this corset!
This muslin was pinned about a month ago, pre-Christmas rush.
