The blue silk corset with 3 flat felled seams to go. I got it down to about 5 eyelets in 15 minutes.
The corset without bones and binding. Had to try it on! All that wrinkling will not be there once the bones are in, particularly on the sides. Well, the back has temporary bones in it.
The corset itself really has nothing to do with Queen Victoria, I was due for a proper fitting corset, and splashed out with my last years birthday money last year and got this blue silk, I started it back in October 2009, high time I finished it!
The fabric for the dress, yet to be ironed and yet to be made into the dress! I was concerned when I got it in the post as to how it would turn out, but it's not a bad match I reckon, once the petticoats are on and it's pleated properly. I think it will turn out alright.
Just a reminder what the gown looks like:
