Finished my vintage 1930's girdle! Haven't received the garter clips I just ordered, so am 95% complete.

The patterns is a reproduction vintage French pattern. Single layer black coutil, with power net elastic panels for a bit of give. I flat felled all the seams, and did exterior bone casings, using synthetic whalebone. 7 bones, as I added one CB.

The patten maker knew what they were doing. It does not ride up, and is weighs less than some modern shape wear I own. Breaths better too, being cotton. The elastic panels are just enough to prevent spill out and keep anything from digging in, and the curves along the bottom edge doesn't interfere with sitting at all.

Only change I'd make is to add another layer of power net to the gussets, as they are going to wear out pretty quickly if I don't get some support.

That said, the translation from French is challenging, so you need decent corset making skills.
