I sat down with my paper scissors and sticky tape and put together the A4 sheets of paper that the pattern was printed on. Then I measured the waistline. 11 & 5/8" per each half. then I worked out how much difference I'd need, and typing this I realised that I forgot to allow a gap in the back of the finished corset. {foreheaddesk}. So I'm going to have to remove 1" from these 5 pattern pieces.
I didn't divide the total difference by 5, as there are 3 pieces in the front half, and only 2 in the back. So I split the increase into 2 - equal amounts into the front and the back. So the front pieces were increased by 1/3 of the quarter body difference, and the back 2 pieces increased by 1/2 of the quarter body difference. I hope that makes sense to you!
This is what they looked like when I'd done. I'm also going to extend the upper edge by 4 or 5cm, so that the Huge Tracts of Land are supported by this corset.
