One thing down, a million to go

Corset, save for hand-finishing the seam binding on the bottom, is done. It even has had a try-on. Which revealed two things:

(1) The corset will give me the illusion of having a waist. However, it requires two lengths of lacing and is open in the back about 5" across down to the waist, and 4" across below that. I am having my need to lose weight driven in, but I have no time to do so until after Costume Con.

(2) The corset will give me a smooth line down as far as I require. But the next time I make this pattern, I need significantly smaller hip gussets in the front, need to redraft the side seam entirely, and probably need to elongate the waist area by an inch or two.
