Regency Undergarments Part 2

I am rather frustrated at the moment. I have almost completely finished my regency corset. So I laced it up and tried it on. Unfortunately it is way too long. I mean cannot bend at all and would be unable to sit. So I am going to have to cut it done. About 2 inches. I am very pissed off right now. All that work and I have to do it again. Meaning, cut down the ruler (busk) all the extra boning, cut it off and re-bind the bottom. Ugh. Not looking forward to it.
