Friday July 22

Finished putting steels into the bustle cage and put a box pleated frill around the bottom.  The petersham waistband has a little buckle to hold it closed, so that is now complete.
The wrong size busk came so have just used a straight busk instead of a spoon busk, that is now in the corset and the side seams finished off.  The top and bottom edges have to be trimmed with bias strips to neaten them off, so another item on the nearly finished list!
