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.

The Book Arrived Today!!

I've wanted this book for so long, you'd think that I'd already have it but, today was the day.  It arrived.  I am so excited!!  A large, plain white box came in the mail.

And then there it was: better than described!  A gorgeous hardback with it's original dust-jacket in awesome condition, containing 18 full corset patterns!  I literally wanted to jump up & down with glee!

I can't wait to blow them up to size, mock them up, sew them up and wear them all out.  OH, I am so in love with this book!!
