So, the bones are in and the (very ugly) fitting strips are basted on. I made the fitting strips out of scraps of heavy duty cloth and some grommets. I positioned them about where the grommets will be. Moment of truth comes as my Husband laces me in...and it is too big! Oh dear.
This is completely unexpected as the measurements are exactly following the pattern, but this will never hold me in and up. I have to take it in about 1/2" to 1" on each side. Better to know this now than when I finish it.
