Sanakor plunge corset

Two months ago I read an article, about a 1905 corset, on the website http://www.foundationsrevealed.com/.

Here is the article:http://www.foundationsrevealed.com/articles/corset-patterns/1900s-corset-patterns/521-the-sanakor-plunge-corset-1-part-1.

So, after drafting the pattern, I decided to sew it.
This is the final result:


It has 26 bones and it is composed by three layers of material: blue satin; white cotton; white satin for lining.
I changed the original corset boning channels position, and I constructed it as a 18th century stays by inserting bones between fabric layers,also I didn't add the bow on center front.
I didn't use a busk for the front because unfortunately I didn't have one.









It was a long time that I wanted to recreate the sanakor due to its beautiful and particular shape.
I'm very happy of the result.
