That's gorgeous! What did you use for those exterior boning channels? I think it creates such a powerful look!

Thanks! The channels are bias-cut silk sewed into tubes and pressed flat. Some people insert thin strips of coutil into the tubes before they sew them down (for extra protection against bones popping through) but I don't bother with that. For occasional costume use this works perfectly.

Beautiful, love the bright color and the contrast!
