This is what I was originally going to do for the corset. In the late 19th c, there are several references and extant examples of corsets with elastic in them designed by doctors. I loved the idea of belts on the sides with hot pink elastic siding. When I put it together, it fit but I needed more belts on the sides. Deciding that, as neat as it would look like that, it just wasn't me; I instead put in "real" sides and then next few pictures show the finished corset.
