hi Seryn, and thanks for replying.
Well I'm afraid the corset is mostly modern... I originally wanted quite a sixteenth-century looking wedding dress, but there were cost issues... but it is starting from that sort of idea. Less lacing than the one you pictured, and a stiffer (wool) material.
Oh, and probably it will be tartan.
I've never really worn that style of dress before - just was looking for reassurance that what I was planning in my head wouldn't look too strange!
Your pirate costumes sound very good. I like the idea of the shirts and skirts you were talking about. Good luck with the sewing... though from the sound of it, you are a professional!

Oooh, new thread title. I hope we're not swarmed over with Drooling Applications.
Go here:

Then click on 9966 at the bottom. Pull that up and it's the pattern on the bottom left. The pink one. That's Kelly's costume.
The purple one is going to by Mai's, with some variations.

Hey girls, IAMZOE is responsible for making sure SimonWho ever got to this site, so be nice to her.
Her Wash is absolutely adorable.
Okay, so I'm red at Cubed. Um, do we have to wear dresses? I was kinda hoping for pants.

No, i'm wearing pants, like shortish (just under knee) widish leg pants over knee high boots.
And no-one has to wear red you just can if you want to.
Zoe, i'm not being very clear sorry. Is it a straight flat fronted corset, like the one above (imagine it w/o the tabs over the hips) or is it a waisted one with cups and stuff ('victorian' style)And if you worried about matching fabric then its not such an issue if you are going with tartan, go for a basic silk in a colour to match the tartan(you can even get it dyed specifically) and it will look great. I always tend to find they go for bold colours at scottish style weddings, so have fun with it.
If its the first type you can do puffy, just make sure its sculpted, controlled puffy (i.e, the bulk of it at the side or back, flat at the front) and not an explosion in a merangue factory. If its waisted slimfitting at the waist with the width either at the hem (flared skirt) or at the hips (fabric gatherd into a bustle). Both looks silly, niether look dull (unless you've got your bold colours) But if your worried at all about clumpiness, whatever you do keep the bulk away from the waist. If you've big hip, keep the corset long over them, but you can still go with a bustle style. Its just about balance I suppose, and creating the right silhouette.
Note, most of what im saying is dictated by personal taste, dislike fussyness and prefer clen bold shape, so the basic advice about keeping the midsection clear to make it more streamline and slimming, feel free to ignore and play around to you hearts content.
and,
yey! weddings! When's the big day? what are you doing? are you all excited? can we see photo's when its happend?

Hi YOUAREZOE!
I didn't answer your question because 1) I have no expertise and 2)Seryn knows more about this stuff than all the rest of us combined.
But, welcome to our crazy thread.
And, we're gonna want to see pictures, when it's all done with. I've never seen a tartan corset before, but it sound AMAZING!

Thank you. There will be a 10-12 week processing period after your $50 drooling permit fee is received. We will contact you to let you know if you are approved. Have a good day.

(just teasin' JH. I can't speak for the rest of us, but I would be okay with letting you drool, just a very little, and not on any of the fabrics.)Serenity, First Officer of Destiny

Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. Not a drooling application. I was told I needed a corset too... something about me looking better in red.
