That was the pattern I started from for my Regency corset, because it does seem very similar to the c1810 corsets to me too :-) Just as a warning, a friend of mine and I _struggled_ to do the fitting for the corset, 'cause we'd chosen to do the one with no side seam (only bust and hip gores) which eventually worked but was the most difficult fitting project that either of us had ever done. Now that the construction is all done, it's a wonderful corset! Fun to wear :-) -sunny NOTICE TO RECIPIENT: If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, you are prohibited from sharing, copying, or otherwise using or disclosing its contents.
