Day of corset-ing today! And now I'm committed to actually finishing it for the Allaire dance, since I stole the boning for the CF and CB out of the old one. (I'll use new cording, as I'm not that desperate.)
So I: sewed in the bust gussets - by hand, argh, because they're visibly topstitched - finished sewing the pieces together by machine, tacked ribbon over the seam allowances of the gussets inside the corset, and sewed half of a center-front bone. And then decided I'd had quite enough corset for the day, thanks very much! But that means I've got all the machine work done, so it's all ready to go to sewing day this week, which was the intent.

White blob o'corset.

And the neverending backstitching of the gussets. The boning is all getting stitched in with either spaced backstitch or running stitch, because I've had enough of that.
