corset top made from an old shirt

This is a corset top I made using one of my husbands old shirts, it was my second attempt as the first one didn't work out(a problem with the rigilene boning that I rectified in this one). It was my first attempt at handstitched eyelets though, but it won't be my last, even though they took me 3 days to stitch it was worth it and I much prefer the way they look as opposed to metal grommets.

Pattern or design used: simplicity pattern, modified by me
