Single Layer Dore Corset

Laughing Moon's Dore corset from pattern #100. A single layer of coutil, boning tape, size 00 eyelets, and an 11" busk.

My first Dore is still as comfortable and sturdy as ever. But with all the undies I've been cranking out, I thought it would be a shame not to try a new corset as well. I think this version is a little curvier than the first. I also made it mid-bust, rather than slightly over-bust. And the best part: it took me all summer to build the first time around, but this time I did it in two weeks!
