Well today was a good day. I've decided to use the Past Patterns number 213 for my corset. I'm a bit long in the torso so my first job after cutting out the pattern was to lengthen it a bit. After snipping and taping; I cut out the pattern, wondering why there were so many pieces...Well, I managed to cut all three of the cup styles (B, C and D). Dumb!!
Selecting the C cup I got to work and put the pieces together and gave the test corset a spin on the dress form. Not bad, but I will need a proper fitting on Thursday at SCA Practice. That's all for the day, since I have to see the dentist (did I mention I've already been to the Doctor's office today?), and then watch Sherlock Holmes and Justified tonight. Tomorrow I will start on the skirt. I will leave you with a preview of the fabric I think I'm going to use.
Ooo, looks fabulous! I would love to have you make me a Steampunk dress, after the baby is born. ;)
