Almost done!

Everything went well at the final fitting last weekend. I am particularly happy with the fit of the bust area. Now All I have left is to sew the motifs on, shorten the straps a little, and hem the skirt and lining.
I think she is going to be the best dressed person at her graduation don't you? :)

And I think I finally got the floating modesty panel all figured out, much much nicer than the last one I made.

Final count:
2 layers of coutil
1 layer lining
1 layer fashion fabric (Interfaces)
1/4 spiral 2 per seam (12 total)
14" busk with underbusk
1/4 flat steels next to grommets and busk
Detachable matching straps


Once I am 100% done I am probably going to mail or pass of the corset to her, so the next pictures I get will probably be from Katlaoesk herself.

After the fitting I kinda dropped off radar because it was midterms and I had a lot of catch-up to do once I stopped feeling so sick. 7 hours of sleep in three days, I think that is my all time record... last night I slept about 12 to make up for it, and now it all feels like it never happened, weird.
