I’m starting with the bridal corset and this is the third mockup I made, I like the fit finally and now need to decide on how I’m going about the final one, I have coutil for the structure layer and 100% silk for the fashion layer, then lace on top after.

Should I use double sided fusible Interfacing to fuse the silk to the coutil or should I use dommet/batting between to make it more structured to look like the image I’m modeling off of? And should I use single sided interfacing to add structure to the silk in that case so it’s smooth and doesn’t wrinkle when it’s pulled at the seams?

Also how should I make the skirt so it’s not super gathered or huge? I like the way it is in the reference photo where it falls nicely with some structure. But my silk is very thin, should I use interfacing or another layer of something else underneath?

Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated as I’m fairly new to sewing!!

I made this pattern using the saran wrap and masking tape method to get my exact shape.
