First finished corset

It was meant to just be a mockup but I decided to run with it and make it wearable (enough). The pattern is the beginner corset pattern by Doses Of Dem. I'm very grateful for lurking on this sub as I wouldn't have been able to do it from the pattern instructions alone. The fashion layer is a polyester upholstery fabric I had lying around but it's got quite a loose weave and the inner layer is a pair of my husband's old jeans cut up. Pre-cut spiral Steel and straight steel boning throughout.

The one question I have is it's a little long as it's meant to end at my waist, but it's going further than that because of the seam allowance on the top and bottom since I didn't sew it right sides together then turn, I just sewed them together at the sides (and seams) then used bias binding on the top and bottom. In the future, should I just remove/reduce the horizontal seam allowances? Or did I just make an error there?
