The corset is done!
The corset is finally done! Boy do I hate flossing. It took several sessions and a lot of stabbing myself before I finished it. And the fashion fabric started to fray a bit on one of my boning channels, so I had to fix that. Overall I am happy with this corset. The fit is nice. I noticed in the photos of the back that it looks like the boning is buckling a bit. The flat steels that I am currently using seem pretty flimsy, and I probably should have doubled up on the bones. I am not sure if I will fix it or not, as that will also require removing the flossing and redoing that too. Ugh. I also did not do the lacing properly so I need to fix that.
