In between other bits and pieces, and whilst I wait on my delivery of bones, bias and eyelets (the ones I had were too dark and so I have ordered silver ones to match the spoon buck), I decided to try some embroidery on the corset. I chose the fan and cross designs, varying them to include a leaf stitch. I have a number of embroidery threads in shades of grey, green and blue and and splitting them to make mixed colourways that match the various shades of the fabric.
I've concentrated on the gussets and smaller bones in the front panels to start with. The photos are taken with a flash to better show off the stitching.
In the meantime, I am doing some serious research on the bottom half of this outfit; it has become the thing I think about last thing at night and first thing in the morning. I need to have a plan.
