Steel and Plastic Bones

Today I didn't break out the sewing machine, but I worked on finishing inserting bones. I've got all but one fully boned and ready to be finished.

"Untitled" 70% Completed

This design currently has no name! It is a three-panel corset with adjustable straps, inspired by 18th Century stays, but without tabs. There are sits on the front bottom that will be embelished with eyelets to "lace" them together. This corset is missing plastic boning. All the steel has been added, but I'm missing all but two of the plastic bones. When money comes around, I will go and buy more. This corset also needs the eyelets to be reinforced by embroidery.

 "Lillith" for Meg 80% Completed

A long over-do re-do. This corset is fully boned and all that remains to be done is finishing the bottom and top ribbon binding, setting the grommets and sewing the buttons down the front. It's all cake from here now that the boning is finished. Hopefully it will be done very soon.

"Bride" for Madeline 95% Completed

All of the boning has been inserted and all that remains for this corset is for the bottom to be finished! Yay! I'm really pleased with how this came out (the re-work, that is). I was very upset when I found out that the material stretched in a rather unsavory way. I'm so pleased with how its turning out now, and I also added more steel bones.

"Bella" 99% Completed

I'm finally nearly finished with this one! I've got one side of eyelets to embroider and it will be all done and ready for pictures, then to sell! Yay! I'm very happy. This one has taken me forever.

 "Lillith" 85% Completed

I actually started this corset nearly two years ago. I started it when I was working as the store manager at Mr. Tux and before I got pregnant. It's finally getting finished! Yay!This is the first time I've used a zipper in a corset. When it is finished, I will test-drive it to see if zippers can withstand the pressure of lacing. This corset is boned with plastic and steel, and today I finished inserting the bones.
