Ok, so here are the new stays....

There are some issues.

1. Needed more boning at the center front on both sides of the lacing rings. Fixed this afternoon.

2. Too tight across the underbust (subsequently the bust) and a little too loose at the waist.

This sucks....I know how to fix it. It requires taking it apart along the side front seam that I had patterned in just for this reason and then adding a gusset at the top and maybe taking a chunk out at the bottom. I just hate having do something like this. I'm still not entirely sure how I managed to make them too small across the bust.

It's gorgeous even as it is, though!

Oh yeah, I think it's fabulous just bad patterning on my part. I love the fabric, stupid satin that it is.

Oooo, nice colors though, and with a little tweeking it will be perfect!
