Burlesque Corset pt.2

It felt like an eternity hand sewing the hook and eyes when I shouldn't have forgotten that I bought a strip of pre-attached hook and attached it to the center front seams. I didn't have much trouble with the eyelets (size 1/4 silver). I'm almost finished but I have a long ways to go... I still have the faux fur vest and shorts to make. Hopefully I can tackle both on Thursday. Tonight, I have to finish the embellishments. This is how it looks so far.

The puckering kills me but this is what the fabric allows.
