Completely hand sewn, made of silk, linen and 2,5 mm diameter round cane. The wrinkles in the front come from the horizontal bones inside the corset. The color is rather dull, but I plan to make a chemise dress soon, and I didn't want them to show through (although showing though looks nice too). The lining is detachable as it should be. I'm pretty pleased with the end result, but. Although they are an underbust model, the bust is a little too small so I can't get them tightened as much as I'd like to in the waist. I don't think that shows too much on the outside though. And I will be making a better and prettier one later this year (or the next) for 1760's -1770's.








A few construction pictures.






I'm also wearing the shift I made last november.


And I've been busy. I finished the rest of the underwear (a new false rump and two linen petticoats) and a muslin petticoat. All hand sewn of course. And I bought the perfect 18th century reproduction cotton fabric for a colorful 1780's robe à l'anglaise!
