Edwardian corset: disaster!

I've been working hard on my corset for the past to day, neglecting everything about school. Today I came to the point where I would try it on properly for the first time and guess what? The bloody corset is way to small! Just closing the busk is hard work. I must say that I am very disappointed and would very much like to throw the whole thing away. Perhaps I will let it rest for a few weeks, scavenge it for the parts that can be reused and make a new one. Probably go up a size or two. Might need to order some new coutil though...
