Bust gores too large?
This is my first attempt at a corset with the redthreaded 1860’s gored corset. I made a mockup that I was happy with the fit everywhere but the bust which was much too large along the top so I adjusted the bust gores by slashing down the middle and taping them back to have a smaller width along the top. After trying on the first altered version (right side of photos) it seemed like the bust was still too large as there was still some gaping along the top of the bust when I stand up fully straight (better seen in photo 3). I then tried slashing and making the gores smaller again (left side) but this just doesn’t seem correct to me as it is pretty flat from the front and seems to have a weird curve from the side. Was my first version correct, should there be some amount of gaping when you stand a certain way or is there another way I should alter the bust to fit better? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
