Stays!

Man, this project is taking forever!  I feel like I've been working on this for years.  But today I finished the binding (finally!) and now I just need to do buttons and buttonholes on the straps and I think they will be done.  

I couldn't resist putting them on and checking them out.

I don't have a proper chemise or shift and anyway after I finished the binding I was way too excited to change clothes before trying them on!

 

I don't know why my posture looks so tilted in the bottom right photo, I didn't think was leaning.  I wonder, is it supposed to make me stand like that?

  

Those tabs were really a pain, and I don't think I see much point to them anyway; they don't really spread out as I thought they would.  Oh well.  I'm pretty pleased with them, my first 18th c. project!

Wonderful! The tabs really add to the overall look of the corset. I'm not sure I'd have the patience to do them myself. Good job.

Thank you! I suppose they do add to the look.
