Finished Silverado Corset

Well the Silverado corset is finished, but now i'm all dressed up and nowhere to go!  Jimmy is still in bed, and has been prescribed 2 different types of antibiotic as the infection is in both of his lungs.  It's been touch and go as to whether he goes to hospital or not, but in the end, as he is responding to the treatment, the doctors have decided that he can stay here under our watchful eye.  Today, he is sitting up reading Top Gear magazines and is eating real food again -  the chicken satay flavour pot noodle was a step too far in revoltingness I think!

I know you've all been waiting to see the finished corset, so here it is:

and back

I'm very pleased with this corset.  I think it's the best i've ever made in terms of technical fit.  It goes in at the waist, out at the hips, in at the tummy, and out at the bust ... In other words, the squish factor is right and I don't have 4 more boobs than I should have!

The silver rubbery fabric was a b*gger to get right, and in the end I just did a few panels, glued it on then zigzagged the edges.  I have a small shortfall in some places near the binding, but I don't think the 'focus' of the whole ensemble is at the edges, so I guess nobody would notice!!
