Titanic Corset!

So I have been inspired by Bridges On The Body and her sew along to do my own Titanic outfit to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

I have chosen Rose's Tea Dress from the movie Titanic because I love the look of this dress.

And I want the Big Ass Hat. (There is no other way to say it)

So I also realize that I need a different shaped corset for this gown. I decided to make the one from the movie.

So tonight I got out the only corset pattern I have and extended it to make room for my hips.
Tomorrow I (hopefully) will get to make up a muslin. *cross your fingers*
