The corded Regency corset is finished, including the fan lacing. The chemise is also finished, and the bodiced petticoat is very close to being finished. This post shows details on how the fan lacing was made.
Work in Progress

The machine-washable corded Regency corset is now fully assembled and grommeted.
This entry on the Regency Corset shows how to create looped buttonhole eyelets, and how to attach the busk pocket to the front of the corset.
I worked on the corded regency corset some more yesterday. The shoulder straps are padded, the lining is attached, the busk pocket is sewn (if not yet attached), and the bottom edge has been bound.

I made a lot of progress on the new corded regency corset Sunday. The body is now fully assembled, and all the cording has been inserted.
This entry continues the photo description of creating a corded regency corset. I worked a couple hours a couple days last week, taking photos as I went. Today I did a lot more work, and it is now assembled and corded on the front and side panels.

I spent the afternoon and evening working on the regency corset. There will be absolutely no metal boning anywhere in the corset, and all the materials, including the cording, have been pre-washed in hot water so the finished corset will be machine washable.
I’m getting down to the wire for my section of Steampunk Projects from the Gaslamp Garage, and spent today speeding through making the corset to illustrate it. It’s more than half-way done.
The three mock-ups are finally finished and I plan to get them in the mail tomorrow.
