Procrastinated getting back to the bodice & sleeve basic block fitting by ordering supplies for a nice little corset. It's possible to get busks and coutil in Finland, but not in the colours and lengths I wanted, so to the Brits it was.
Tried to bung whatever I could think of into the order, as the postage would be silly in any case, and we'll see if I got all the things I needed and not just things an imaginary Sini of the Future might need.

I don't really actually need a third Early Edwardian style corset, but I wanted to remake the Little Emma button corset I made earlier this year, with a busk and better embroidery than I did. And in a nice white woman beige, I thought that would be a nice base for some linen (material & colour) lace and linen (colour) plus white embroidery. We'll see. 😶
Now, if I could somehow bring myself to get back to the Trials of the Sleeve... It's really close to being so good, but I'm also bored with all the minute adjustments and doing the same thing again and again, so I might try to change it up some by drafting a basic standing collar, see how that affects the fit. Ideally I'd also make a right sleeve also, and see if the same sleeve works on both sides, as my right shoulder is quite different from the left one. But perhaps I'll just stare out the window a bit instead.
Did take a look through multiple old pattern drafting manuals to see how they say you should draft a standing collar, decided I'd just wing it based on vague memories from pattern drafting classes in 2008 or so... And just eyeballed a collar that fits almost perfectly into the neck opening of the bodice, just based on what I felt like it should be shaped like. And now I must try it on.
Putting on the collar has revealed new and exciting issues with the neck opening and also the fit of the sleeve! I thought it would and was correct, so now I get to puzzle those out. 😆
Oh, I've also completely forgotten how to stand normally and how I usually hold my arm. This knowledge is just gone, how do humans arms
@sinituulia You would think bodies would be more intuitive, wouldn't you? And yet...
@jmccyoung I have accidentally gone from default mode into manual settings and it's all borked
