The Silver Sequin Corset (part 1)

After the sequined sheath dress, I thought it would be fun to design something else with a bit of sparkle. That and I had a lot of left over seed beads and silver sequins that I didn't use on the dress. I also had a scrap of silver sequin type fabric from a Crayola craft set (or something of that nature). Originally I wanted to make a corset dress, but decided not to get ahead of myself (or my skill set) and decided to start with a regular corset. If anything I can make a matching skirt later.

This is the lining for the corset. I'm sewing on ribbon as the casing for the plastic stays.
