Dear Michael,
Please bear in mind this is meant in friendship (and experience) not
animosity....
May I recommend that you invest in some existing patterns that are _similar_
to what you're thinking of (and maybe some that are not) and fitting/making
them up to fit various shapes on _live_ models .....
short-waist - "Ack! the top edge is cutting into my armpits!"
long-waist - "Um, this is nowhere _near_ covering my bust..."
amply-endowed, average, and 'forsaken' fullnesses
- and every combination thereof!
After that, I think you'll begin to have an idea of what corset-makers deal
with. <g> This is the main reason why there are so many patterns out
there. Some fit one type, others another, none truly fit _all_ types.
Yours in Service,
Europa / Kitty / Kate
btw - what's that alphabet soup after your name, eh?
