Just finished making my everyday wear/vintage wear corset. Is it a bit messy? Yes. Did I cut the lacing too short so I cant wrap it around to the front? Also yes. Will I ever learnt to do bias binding on sharp corners? Probably not. Am I happy with the shape? Definitely. I'm interested to see if wearing a corset more helps with my back pain. I've heard a few people say it helped them so I figured I'd give it a shot.

@CraftingwithCasca Looks good! I also hate binding sharp corners. I made an underbust a few months back and the point at the busk was so finicky. Fair warning about the back pain, I've learned from physiotherapists that an over reliance on corsets can weaken the core muscles and cause more pain in the long term. The corset itself doesn't weaken the muscles but neglecting strength training can. It's best to wear them occasionally and use exercises to strengthen trouble areas to create balance. :)
@TillySews Thanks! I'm definitely going to keep up with my back exercises and stuff. When I say everyday corset I mean like "not costume" so I'd mainly be wearing it for things like sitting at the sewing machine and other times when I know my posture is really bad and could use a hand.
