SP: Closing

I presented my corset and undergarments at the presentation last night. I have to admit it was a mad rush to the finish - I worked almost all of yesterday hand sewing the binding, clipping basting stitches, gathering and seaming the corset and chemise (also finishing my slideshow). But now they are all done! The corset looks amazing - practically store bought. I can't believe I assembled it in 4 days!! There are a few blemishes, but that's typical for a first corset. It looks very pretty and is actually fairly comfortable. The chemise and drawers are made out of a lightweight cotton batiste that was a tad annoying to work with but it is so worth it! Batiste is much more comfortable than muslin from Joann's - they feel like pajamas! I want to make another chemise to wear to bed during the summer, but I need to use the remainder to make a new regency chemise. And now the photos (I need to get one of me in the garments, but I'm doing an in-school presentation on Thursday so a friend could take one then):
