Mock-up 1, fitting 2. I know this is a super-specifically fitted garment (18th century stays) and as such there is a slim to none chance the first draft from a commercial pattern will fit. Still … the 10cm I need to add to the upper hip area is depressing and not doing my out-of-whack body image any favors. Learning to work through without judgement will make a good growth exercise, providing I can get there.
