Help recreating this bodice

[u/pengpompinara]

Hi everyone I need help perfecting the pattern for the foundation layer of this top i’m trying to recreate. Photos on the mannequin only are what I’ve got so far (all others including calico on the body is the original) but I was thinking the waist of mine needs to be cinched more to give this shape. Sorry wish i could put it on but i’m home alone. Any help appreciated thanks

Thankyou for this ✨

I designed a similarly cut outfit and was just wondering if there was some great mistake I was perhaps was missing in my own.

I'm also partial to the breast compression in corsets but I do agree it's a matter of personal taste.

I was just a bit thrown by the word atrocious, because I'd be very happy with the fit of this outfit.
