Success!

I have finally achieved waist reduction. I decided to forget (somewhat) the exact curved lines of the pattern, and take fairegoddess's advice, and curve in the front pieces at the waist. I did it at the seams between front and side front, and between the side front and side back. And it worked! I think I actually curved in somewhere between 2-3" total, but the lacing gap stayed the same, and I still have the rounded stomach look (just now it's below the curved in waist).

Here's a few pics.



I've decided to just save all my mockup pieces as the pattern, and recut them all for the interlining, so that I can skip retracing a paper pattern. I've taken them apart, and maybe I'll have time to cut out the pieces tomorrow? I have two caroling gigs though, so it seems somewhat doubtful.

I did also cut out the pieces for my new Disney skirt, but I don't have enough elastic left for the waistband, so I'll probably swing by Joanns on Monday or Tuesday.
