I found a wonderful site selling saree's at reasonable prices (i.e, cheap enough fo me to afford) I reckon whatever the theme we turn up in them (there was a blue and silver one would go gorgeous with your colouring.

but anyway.

costume progress - i have a hat! the darn thing was sat on my wardrobe the entire time. it fell on the floor yesterday, and i picked it up, and a small lightbulb went ping above my head. it was just a basic dome crowned wide brimmed felt hat - so i unpicked the white decorative stitching and pinned the sides up and boy I am such a jammy git - it cost me 50p from a charity shop.

So now the corsets are trundling along (serenity, i hope you are as tiny as your corset looks! i checked the measurements over and over again, its itty-bitty)
I have a pattern for a quick shirt, and another for a waist coat, i have to find some trews somewhere, and the boots i found cheap just need altering a bit. but what i really really want is one of those belts that go accross the chest (Will and Elizabeth both have them in POTC2) and i cant find them anywhere. Well, i cant find a belt long enough to adapt. hell, being to big and tall i can't find a belt.

Any ideas?

actually, what i'd really really love is boot tops with the turn down bits, Captain jack, and a leather hat, but beggars can't be choosers, so i focused on the chest belt thing, thinking it would be easy.

Ha.

Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.

(Now let's try this again, as ME this time.)

ooh, what's the website? I want a saree!!!

I'm sure you measured right, but I'm really not itty bitty. Maybe it just looks tiny cuz it's a corset and it's supposed to squish you up?

As Tristan about the belt that goes across the chest. He might know where to get one. In fact, I think I saw some on one of the pirate costume websites, I just don't remember where.

Try the term "baldric" if you're doing a search. There might be other names, but I'm pretty sure this will get you somewhere.
You may want to hit the SCA (society for creative anachronisms) website and try a couple of their links for research and sources.
Or not!
It could save you a lot of weeding though.

Speaking of corsets squishing you "up", be prepared for clevage you did not know you had and wear it proudly m'dear. Also: breathe from your birthin' place, you can't expand your chest so you need to let everything go with gravity. Soft stomach. Try lying on your back on the floor and placing a book on your bellybutton, then make the book go up and down while you inhale and exhale. That's the spot you're aiming for. If you try to do the chest breathing that everyone is used to you will quickly hyperventilate and pass out.
That book trick I got from a vocal coach trying to teach me how to breathe while singing.
I never knew it would come in so very handy. You use it in yoga too!

I've been singing for years. I know how to breathe properly.

And, this isn't my first corset, either, so I'm prepared for the clevage.
Unfortunately, I always have more than I know what to do with.

But, thank you for "Baldric". The word escaped me, though it usually is part of my vocabulary.
