So the first challenge, obviously, is to draft the pattern up. Anyone planning to do that this weekend? Already started? Drafted this pattern up before it was cool?

Actually, that's a good question - has anybody else out there played around with this pattern already?

I will start on saturday but I allready used this kind of "apportionning scale pattern" and I'm familiar with metric system as french people

I hope that drafting will be ended on saturday night...

Hi! I have drafted the pattern and I didn't find it too hard I have never drafted from a boxed pattern before as I normally make my own patterns. I expected it to be more complicated than it actually was, not being used to this shape of corset either.
I have also altered the pattern to fit my model - a Venezualan lady who has a very cury 'bunda' as she would put it!
All in all easier than I thought it would be, especially with the help of the article to follow!

Carmene, you'll probably be done by dinner - it really isn't that hard, unless you run out of paper.

Jojojem - Excellent! I wound up adding a fair bit to the back hip, and now it fits so much more comfortably and smoothly.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing or finding panels H-M on the marquise.de site? I only get panels A-G and can't seem to find the rest of the pattern. Do you have any suggestions on how to access it? Thanks!

Also, this is probably a silly question, but when you are giving the measurements of the closed corset (original pattern) are the bust measurements actually the underbust measurements, since this is not a demi of full coverage corset? And the hip measurement it the measure of the bottom of the corset? I am still learning. Thanks.
