The lining was cut from the same pattern as the corset, leaving out the gores. It was machine stitched along the top and bottom of the corset, then hand catch stitched at the sides and along the edge of the gores. I'm actually really proud of this finish!
My major learning point from this corset is the fabric choice - I should've used something with a bit of stretch! Fortunately, I think I got away with it, but there are a couple of area where I would've like the corset to mould to my body a little better, and I think this would've been achieved by using something like a tightly woven linen rather than coutille. And now for lots of pictures! Please ignore the faces I'm pulling, its an involuntary response as soon as I know there's a camera pointing at me!
