| final casings and the boning |
Finished sewing the boning casing. I put 6 bones in the front, two of them at the closure, much like a busk, 2 bones on the side seams, and 5 more in the back. The bones are 12mm, leftovers from Yuuko's Red Chinese Dress, and the casing is simple cotton tape, except both the front closure bones, which are enclosed in the burgundy cotton fabric.

| inner layer fitting |
Had one more fitting, naturally the jacket won't close with clamps, and I like it. If it were a corset, a few more bones would probably be better, but I don't think I'll need more for this. I didn't wear it long, but it feels very comfortable!
I also finally made the first button hole in the shirt. The bottom one.
+ I'm happy with the fit, can't wait to see it with the other fabrics.
- It took a really long time to sew all the casings, I started sewing them by hand (the tape is very tight), even before I realised my sewing machine was broken.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Cut a lining for the bodice, and start sewing the lining and the outer layer.
