A few years from now, when I am more experienced, I would like to sew a pair of stays using this pattern:
As for corsets, I really like the one that Anna at Ageless Apparel bought on Ebay (here at this post.)
Isn't it sad that Little Women week is over? I think if we hadn't been traveling, I would have written an article or two.... but the Olympics will only be here once or twice in my life, and I might not get to go the second time it's on our continent; so there are no regrets :) (I downloaded our pics from the trip, and I'm going to post them eventually, by the way.)
Have a nice day!

p.s. I'm thinking about "hosting" an event..... but I haven't decided what sort. I might do a poll, or something.
I have that pattern! I haven't made it yet, but I really want to make that View A sometime to go with my colonial gown and the many colonial gowns I dream of making. :)
ReplyDeleteI love historical costuming. For me, researching the exact historical accuracy of a piece and sewing it myself and actually wearing it--especially if I have a ball or an event at which to show it off--really gets me into the mindset of the period and absolutely brings it to life. :D I've made gowns from the tudor, regency, colonial, and civil war eras.
Beautiful blog! I'm so glad I found it! Thanks for stopping by A Beauty Glorious and taking the time to comment with your wonderful words of encouragement!
You know what, maybe this is weird, because I don't know you at all, but you seem like a really sweet amazing person and I just want to give you a big **HUGGLE** right now. :) I pray you have a gloriously blessed day.
thank you! :)
