Which don't give you enough materials if you're an odd size.... My first corset project (many moons ago) was using the kit for the 1830's PP corset (with the bust and hip gores). I ordered the kit because at the time I didn't know where else to get the boning, etc. I sent my measurements when I sent the order, but the bones and busk were too short, and there wasn't enough fabric to cut the corset. I was able to return the bones and get new ones, but I had to fudge the busk with extra metal to make it long enough, as they didn't have a longer one. IIRC, I had to lengthen the pattern by about 5" - I'm almost 6' tall.....
