Serenity! Guess what! I got the rest of my fabric for the costume!

I got a dark green for the dress and a sheer greenygoldish material for the overskirt. Hopefully it'll go well together. Not totally sure how it'll turn out, so when I sent it to you and you think something else'd look better, have at it! I trust your judgment. :)

Anyway, yay for D*C costumes! And Seryn, thanks for letting me talk about clothes in the corsety thread!

Kelly-sweet! Can't wait to see it all!

I haven't even had time to cut out Mai's stuff yet or shop for fabric for my stuff. Shame on me. But now I have fabric samples of my corset so I can take them with me and go a-fabric hunting. Joy!

Yes, good idea. You hold onto it, so if I ever need it, I know where to find it!

Here's a crappy photo, but at least you'll get the idea:



Oh, and thanks for the birthday card! You made my day yesterday

this is so funny... I've just spent half an hour looking elsewhere on the hinternet for corsets (for my wedding outfit ) - and now I come here and this is the first thread I see.

Could I interrupt, most politely, to ask for a small piece of advice? What sort of skirt would you advise to be best with a corset? I want something long and floaty and big and wedding-y (MyWash is not at all sure about all this...) but I'm worried it'll look sort of bunched-up and unprofessionally matched if I buy the corset one place and then get a skirt elsewhere and try and match them up.

Many thanks for any help!

Kelly-from what I can tell, it looks fabulous!

You just NOW got your birthday card? I sent it out forever ago! Like a week before your birthday. Did I get your address right? Sometimes I'll switch a letter or number and then it takes forever (I did that to cozen not too long ago. oops!)

Oh well, it's the thought that counts and I WAS thinking of you!

What kind of corset is it? What period I mean, cause as long as you match periods between the two, its usually ok, looks balanced. And if in doubt, try to keep the bulk of the fabric away from your waist. over the hips or keep it fit and flare.

More than that I can't really say without knowing the style of the corset.

Oh and no probs! We got this thread already here, all are welcome!

So what is your costume? Are you going as a pirate or something else?

The photo's never do justice do they?

Ooh, shiny new thread title! Thanks!

Serenity showed me a cool pattern of a princessy type gown with big sleeves and a corset and she is kind enough to make it for me since I don't have a sewing machine (and I've never made a corset either!).

It's not very piratey, so Serenity and I thought that I could be your prisoner!
