My non-expert thoughts: - Bone that thing, girl. Grab some heavy duty cable ties from the hardware store and put one on each seam. Nothing will look right, imo, until you get some structure in there. - Can you put the corset on inside out to see seam lines more clearly? - I think the back hip gore is too big and too far back for you. - I suspect part of the reason that hip curve is weirdly high is because of the wrinkling. Don't alter that until you bone that seam to smooth it out. - I'm having a really hard time seeing where the bust gore seams are, but maybe they're in backwards? If the gores are shaped like Ds (one straighter edge, one curved edge), the two straight edges should be towards the center of the bust section, with the curved sides curving around the outside of the breast. - Bust gores: boning will help a little, as it will compress and re-shape the breast a bit, but I think your bust gores are too big, and perhaps a little too short? - Reducing all those gores will help with the lacing closed issue. It may also help with the bust edge height, once it's not flaring out on you.
