So this is my first attempt at the underbodice - I was actually surprised with how effective it was, it really did flatten my tummy without feeling too uncomfortable.
The pattern ws made by drawing in underbust and low hip cutting lines on the pattern I came up with below, cutting the coutil exactly to this pattern and the powernet about half this size.
The instructions I followed are here
However, I do think its a little too tight - its difficult to do up, and even more difficult to swivel round after I've done it up at the front. I think the coutil section is fine, its the powernet that needs more space - I guess since powernet comes in different strengths this is something that probably just comes down to trial and error.
It also needs boning added at the back to keep it from bunching up vertically, and I need to find white lingery elastic to finish the edges of the powernet.
