As mention a couple of posts ago I was badly in need of a new corset, and here it is! I am so in love with this corset!
This was my first attempt at the dore, and my first double layer corset. I'm really please with the smoother result. I used some more of my screwfix cable ties as the boning on this one, and I'm still a big fan of the ease of cutting to size, and the amount of support they give. I don't lace particularly tight, and to be honest don't see myself going back to steel boning.
I also did flossing for the first time on this corset. I like the way it looks, and I like that it keeps the ends of the boning away from the binding at the bottom of the corset and means I can make this perfectly neat.
Overall a great big yay from me!

Here are the pics of my trim experiments. Pretty chuffed with both of them! My main thinking point is with the puffs on the bertha - I love the way they look, but they're the result of random pulling and pinning of the chiffon through the holes, and I need to figure out a way of getting the same amount of puff in each section, bearing in mind the fact that they're all different size! Hmmm....
The lace on the bertha is from my stash and I think is perfect for this dress. I've been looking out for reasonably priced lace for the bottom of the skirt for ages, and at the moment I'm thinking of this dotted tulle with this edging. We'll see if anything else turns up before I get to the trimming stage on that one :)
