Doing the finishing touches to an authentic 1780's fully boned stay is tricky. If the bones aren't cut to the exact right length they either won't support the corset properly, or they'll get in the way of the tedious bias binding. That's what I've spent the past day and night doing - bias binding round the corset.
They're the fully bound corset, very nearly finished, from the front. All that's left to put in is the eyelets.
The corset from the inside. Showing the structure. The seams have been slip-stitched down aswell. All in all a lot of handstitching goes into one of these. It takes a while!
