Underbust Corset

My sister is involved in a school play, 'Godspell', and they have tweaked it from the 70's to Steampunk. And there is a TARDIS involved as well when Jesus is resurrected. She is in the choir and tells me she has a sneaky part as well. Anyway, she needs a corset and her and mum were looking at Etsy for a corset. It would have taken far too long and it was going to be made from upholstery fabric. Yeah nah.

She is a large girl, will be under stage lights and in upholstery fabric. I don't think so. I offered my services and we're embarking on a bit of a curve. I'm using Butterick B5371 which I think is going to need a little altering, mainly just elongating it. I'm using corset E. Very tempted to make myself one later with the left overs, cause you know, there is always left overs :P
