I have made the TV 110 corset pattern and found it to be easy to put together and gives a good fit. I have a large bust and the adjustments that they include in the pattern worked well for me. I echo all of the advice to make a muslin to ensure fit, and to use lacing strips instead of pinning at the closure. Another thing that helped me was to use masking tape to tape down the bones on the corset during the fitting. I have used cable ties this way, and it helps to save a little time, while still allowing for a good fit.
