19-teens underoos

mandie_rwI was up early today, so luxuriated in a very long time of pretending I was going to make ALL THE THINGS today (a basic turn of the century summer outfit for a local Spanish-American War event in a couple weeks! finish one of the several cut out vintage dresses that are hanging around the sewing room!)! Fun, but I finally decided to be somewhat sensible and start on stuff for the August Great War event.
I accidentally came across a Butterick costume hat pattern that has a wide-brimmed late teens/early 20s hat as one of the views (well I'll be damned; not entirely sure if they did that on purpose, and the sample is fuggles, but the pattern pieces are solid) while I was looking up how much fabric a theoretical late 1890s shirtwaist would take! So that was something useful. Cut it out, squinted at it, and decided I want the brim wider, but other than that it's totally usable. (And then all three hats I make won't be straw. Which is probably a good thing, because I get bored easily.)
Also traced off and cut out the Wearing History 1917 combinations and corset cover patterns, cut the combies, and pretty much got them all sewn together. Just have to go fishing in the lace stash to see if I have anything that will work for them and the corset cover, and ran out of time to do that before work. I'll buy lace if need be, but if not, that's even better! The combinations amuse me; all combinations are fairly stupid looking but these are funnier than average IMO. It's probably the crotch flap...
