r/GarmentSewing

Hi! I recently got the Mars the label Everly corset in a uk 10 with d-f cup sizing.
The cup size fits me fine but the waist is not cinched in enough. I've got the corset on as tight as possible but still, i would want it tighter for a good hourglass shape.

I've thought of adding extra grommets so that i can pull it tighter but where i need the holes to be is where the boning of the corset is.
I wanted to take the corset in a bit by sewing it but im worried it will make the top tighter which i do not want.

is there anyway to make the waist smaller but keep the top the same size? all help welcomed

First of all, why do manufacturers think they need to make a sewing machine ugly if it’s heavy duty? Seriously I need to know.

Second, just because I’m buying a sewing machine under $200, that does not mean that I am a newbie. It does mean, however, that I don’t need a lot of stitches because I don’t give a shit about stitches! All I need are straight stitch and a zigzag, but dammit I need to be able to sew any kind of fabric.
