Diary of a Costumer

I used the 1863 Sebille corset patent last year, adjusting it to have the hip gore in front and a small insert in the back (ie, like the blue corset). It doesn't seem to dig in at the waist, although tbh I haven't worn it since last July, so maybe I'm misremembering. The main issue I had was that the lacing gap ended up really skewed - very wide at the top and nonexistent at the bottom.
