#i should rewatch that bernadette banner video of her padded corset

[badassindistress]

I gathered up my courage today to try out a new corset pattern. I'm honestly very impressed! I have to shorten it a little, but the shape is almost there already and it has a dramatic waist even though I eliminated most of the waist reduction from the pattern.

I want to experiment with padding when I get this pattern fitting right. I want to build in the bust improver that goes with this pattern, maybe pad out the back a little bit...

I'm also going to experiment with quilting. I want to have a quilted body to keep me warm in winter, preferably one that I can wear under dresses that still gives a nice shape. I hope the quilting might stand in for cording, meaning I will hopefully only need to bone the back and front. I'll probably keep the sturdy zipper for the opening, since it's for daily wear and won't corset down so there's less strain

Exciting stuff!
