Underbust Corset + blouse

I don't know why the pics are so fuzzy :( please just klick and open them in a new tab. :(



This spring I noticed, that I don't have any corset-thingy to wear with pants.
Well, I always love reasons to sew corsets!
So I bought a wonderful fake velours-leather fabric and silk satin fabric, being very pleased that the brown leather has a faint shade of burgundy which fits perfectly to the satin.

The blouse can't be worn without the corset, because it fits really tight around the belly *g* which would look strange without the corset. But so you don't find too much extra fabric in the belly area when wearing the corset, which I think makes everything look smoother.


I added two brownish/burgundy buttons and a tiny clasp, at the back it's closed with a zip and I added another button there :)
The seam is braided.



Well - I REALLY should have ironed the blouse before taking pictures *shame* Please just ignore all the wrinkles, thanks ;)



Although I have rather (in my teenie days this would have been called "J.Lo-hips) prominent hips, I like the shape this gives me. Hourglass shapes for president!
