Both were made using authentic period patterns from Truly Victorian. |  A closeup showing the front of the corset, including the lace trim on the top edge. |

 An image showing the grommets and lacing, including the "ears" to pull the lacing from the middle. |  The mockup of the corset, made to test fit and length. |  Work in progress, with the busk installed. Each seam was converted into a boning channel, and sealed with binding at the top and bottom. |
