First corset, self drafted, first mockup, advice please
First mockup...I go back and forth between happy because my corset actually looks like a corset and tears because it looks far from how I had hoped.
The material is canvas (drop cloth from harbor freight).
I think first step might be to potentially remove the cups from the corset cradle and re sew them...I "think that is what is happening on my right. (Beyond that removing and rebasting the foam bust cages might also help some of the asymmetry)
I'll also add a modest panel in front/back.
I am super disappointed with the lack of waist shaping. I think that the fact that we can see the twill tape waistline is showing some of the material stretch.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
