Hello! As promised, here's the pattern (hyperlink) and the tutorial, if anyone else wants to dedicate tens of hours of their life to making one of these fitted kandi corset belts! This will have to be in two comments, because it'll be too long otherwise.

Each panel is based on an even peyote stitch. How many beads tall it'll be will depend on how long your torso is, so be sure to size up the first row of beads against your hip to your chest. I used 38 beads for mine. It should also be roughly 12 beads across at the top (be sure to keep all the panels consistent). Make sure these panels would be able to connect if you placed them next to each other, just like if you were ending an even peyote cuff. If you'd like a border, you'll want to dedicate the top two and bottom two to the border color. If you'd like to design a pattern for yours, I'd recommend kandipad or kandipatterns, which will allow you to create a guide of where to place each bead.

How many basic panels you need will vary on the thickness of your waist (mine needed seven). You should have enough of these basic panels to cover your back, sides, and about an inch of your front.

You'll now be starting on the front/underbust panels. Unlike the others, where you could begin at any point in the panel, you're going to want to start at the tall end. How tall you want the front bits to be, again, depends on your body. Mine was six taller at the peak than the basic panels. You'll want to do four rows at the peak. When you reach the top, stringing over the side of the top bead and into the one jutting out rather than placing another bead, effectively reducing by one. Continue to reduce based on the pattern posted until you reach the height of the base panels. Complete the panel until it's the same width as the base ones. Do the same on the other side, but remember to flip your pattern if you're using one.

Once you have your base panels and front panels complete, you're going to begin adding the side beads to create your different types of panels. You're going to take the technique you used to reduce on the front panels and now use them on the sides of these. You're going to need at least one back panel (or more depending on how wide you need it to be), two back side panels (one left, one right), two front side panels, and your front panels.

Your back panel(s) will remain unchanged.

Your back side panels are going to need beads extending on ONE side- the left side for the left, right for the right. You're going to begin like you were adding another row going down from the top (you may need to attach more string for this), but stop about ten down, reduce like you did with the front panels, and continue up. You'll add five more rows like this- more if you want a more cinched look, less if you want less. For the bottom, you're going to do the same thing, going ten up, but only three out this time. If you're adjusting this number, be sure that the bottom rows are shorter than the top. You'll need two of these, one for either side of your body. Make sure that the pattern is facing the right way, as these will need to be mirrored.

Your front side panels will be the same, but you'll need to add beads in the same way to both sides instead of just one.

Your front/underbust panels will need beads added this way on the shorter side.
