Natural form corset and a new dress
Dec. 31st, 2014 11:22 pmI was good today and sewed! Despite a spur-of-the-moment excursion into the city, to see the impressive amount of women braving the 25-degree weather in miniskirts. o_O. Well, not TO see them, they were just a fringe benefit. Ahh, New Year's Eve...
So I did a bit of work on my natural form corset, remember that? No? Me neither. I got it into a try-on-able state (putting that spoon busk in was all kinds of fun), and was filled with consternation when it was too damn big in the bust and hip...til I remembered that I'd accounted for all the padding I'm going to stick in there to give myself a figure. Oh, right. Carry on, then.
Still have to do a bit of flossing (nothing exciting, definitely more function than form) and the binding, but after that I can get cracking on the mockup for the dress. (ETA: Okay, flossing is too much work! I reenforced the corners of the gussets and that's good enough, I think.)
It's stupidly exciting on the floor, I know.
The dress? I'm feeling adventurous, and am liking Victorian again at the moment, so...
