Somewhere in all my moves since undergrad, I've either lost or misplaced the final pattern for the corset...on the plus side, I still have the mock-up. I did a quick re-fitting of the mock-up, now I have to use my ponce wheel (the spiky brother of the tracing wheel) and transfer the pattern back on to paper so I can proceed into the coutil.
Here's the mock-up from the front:

| Sans boning, part of why it's super wrinkled, but you get the general idea. The front is stitched for the mock-up to ensure that it stays straight - in the real corset, this will have a straight busk and remain open below the pelvis. |
I tried taking a side/back shot, but ran into some trouble with that...

| The adorable face of trouble. |
Also, after further thinking, I'm going to keep the coutil white and add some blue perle cotton embroidery and flossing with maybe some blue ribbon details.
