This is my modified version of the 7215 Simplicity corset pattern made of a single layer coutil from Sac City Drygoods. I'm going for an 1840s "coffee can" silhouette with this one so I modified the boning placement, gusset placement, shortened the height of the back, shaped the front edges, and made it two sizes smaller than my previous version.

I'm very happy about the spring in the back being even the entire length:
A lovely corset. May I ask how you were able to make a corset with only one layer. I thought you would need two so that the boning is sandwiched between. Is a single layer corset cooler in summer?

You can buy boning casing tape that is essentially a sleeve that you can slip the boning into and then when you bind the edges of the corset, it keeps the boning in place. I also used the same boning casing as a waist enforcement to keep it from stretching.
