The second fitting has arrived, Most importantly, the corset fitting in order to fit the bodice. I encountered many problems during the fitting. First the corset was actually too big so I had to postboned the fitting while I ran off to remove the two back pannels then re-attach my false backs. then the corset, during my second attempt, was too small as it finished around the sides of the model. I tightened the corset as much as the model could take with ease and then measured the difference. 4" at the top and 6" at the bottom, I would make two pannels around 2" later to make up for the gap.
I also realised that steel bones were not apropriate for comfort and will get spiral bones so that the model is much more flexible. Now that the corset is in place I could fit the bodice. Due to the skirt being fine in the first fitting it wasnt neccessary to attatch it. The bodice could now be taken in more, I created two darts either side of the CF, the darts became alot longer than anticipated but were neccessary. Iam really pleased with the chest ruffle, its very similar to the attraction bride, awsome.
