First of all, thank you to everybody who commented on my last post 😄

\---

This is mockup #2, this time in cotton muslin. It was also sewn mostly on a new (to me) Bernina Record 730, and the experience was a delight!  
One last thing for this part: I attempted two ways of sewing the gores in since I struggled with the last mockup, which is why they look so different.

\---

I took some photos without boning because I don't know how to position the boning to be as ideal as possible.

Aranea marked suggested boning lines, but it's not quite so helpful for a first-time corset-making experience, so I attempted to mark my own on my mockup.

Current boning:  
\- 10mm flat steels next to the busk.  
\- 5mm flat steels on each side of the grommets (this is a temp grommet panel.)

Plan:  
\- Double channel near the busk - 10mm steel + 5mm steel.  
\- Double channel at the grommets - 10mm steel on the outside, 10mm steel + 5mm steel on the inside.  
\- Blue LINE - 5mm spiral steel (possibly double channel).  
\- Pink lines (hips and waist) - 6mm synth. Whalebone & 1 8mm synth. Whalebone for the middle (the one that goes from the top of the corset over the hip).  
\- The REST (black and orange) - 8mm synth. Whalebone.  
The orange line is a mark for myself because the panel is hidden under the other panel \^\^"

The boning I have:  
Flat steel (10 mm, 6 mm),   
Spiral steel (5 mm),  
Synthetic whalebone (12 mm, 10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm).

Other than that, are there any adjustments I should make before I put the boning in? I feel like my bust area doesn't fit quite right - the busk sits away from my chest, and the cups are loose on top. I was thinking of adding some width to the bust gore (as well as shortening it - I originally added 6cm per her lengthening instructions, but now I think it was a mistake) to create some more forward projection.

\---

Lastly, does anybody have tips on how to make the busk fit properly? Right now it's lying on top of itself rather than side-by-side, and at first I thought it was the fabric, but I will be using a much thicker fabric combination for the final corset, and I really don't wanna deal with this kind of issue \^\^"

Any and all advice is welcome! 

And thanks again to all you wonderful people \^-\^
