I am once again asking for corset fitting advice

Hello helloooo!

So about a week ago i asked for help solving some fit issues with this pattern I've been working on. I'm new to corset making so i really appreciated all of the amazing advice people here gave me.

I have since implemented many of the suggested changes (plus some extra) and I would love to get your guys thoughts on my most recent mock up.

  1. I changed to a sweetheart neckline, which is gaping a bit. It is too low, i will have to raise that. I also feel like I'm spilling out at the back and under the arms, defo too low under the arms as well.

  2. I added more bust projection as suggested, maybe i still need to add more though?

  3. I added more hip spring as suggested, maybe i added too much? When its laced, it overlaps at the hip

  4. I cut the boning to be the correct size and closed the channels as suggested

  5. I attempted to cut the side panel in a way where it's not on the bias getting stretched (as suggested) but idk if I did it right bc there seem to still be drag lines on that side panel around the hip - but that could also be a patterning issue.

  6. I got rid of the straight panel i had before at the centre

For my next attempt i would ideally like perhaps more waist reduction, plus I will fix the stuff I know I did wrong. Any and all feedback is very welcome, keen to hear any tips you have for me!

Also i will be wearing a bra underneath or possibly i will sew in cups.

Thanks again to everyone who helped with the last one!

Can anyone help diagnose the issue?

this is my first time trying to draft a corset like this!

i feel like (in pic#1) it's really pulling, like maybe theres too much tension or something..

but then pic #2 was my original attempt and i wanted a more snatched waist so i reduced around the waistline on the side seams (plus a tiny bit as the hips)

i do kinda like the results but now i feel like these wrinkles are telling me i messed up somehow

please share your thoughts if you have any, i wanna learn what i am doing wrong so i can improve ♥️
