last Erté toile

Yay - finial Erté toile is a success. There were a few small teaks I wanted to check. so as soon as I take this thing off I'll go layout the fabric. Maybe I should do that on the big table while it's up...

I'm noticing how I lace up my corset really effects this dress. Last night I felt a bit fat in it, laced up a bit more in the torso and voila it looks good again. In fact I laced it a bit with the corset too high then pulled it down and finished lacing. Much more slimming and my chest doesn't feel like it's in my chest when i sit down. I must remember that next time. Oh to be small busted like some people I know!!

I think I need to put a drawstring in the upper binding too. i pinned the top of my corset to my bra and it looks a lot better, more slimming. Umm... I hope that doesn't mean redoing the binding! I must figure out if I can cheat that somehow.
