...you guessed it, yet more Elizabethan.
Woke up with a migraine that was worse than it seemed. Managed to make it to work OK, but about half an hour after we opened, I had to run to the bathroom to puke. Woo. It did help with the migraine, but it's been lingering ever since, and it's made me cranky. Plus I am definitely PMSing, and the migraine also came with a very tight muscle in my neck. And then we went to my brother's birthday dinner, which was a laugh and a half, and days like this make me swear I won't keep living here once the lease is up but fuck me, I am tired of moving.
Made mock-ups of the simplicity patterns today. The "nice" bodice is... not gonna work as it is. I added an inch in front for fitting, and even laced on my corset to check fit, and while it closes at the boobs, the waist gaps horrendously. It really just made me think that I just need to remake the steel corset as I like the fit and support of it better (minus the gapping issues) and just make adjustments and stuff from there. Now I also want a forepart to go under my skirt, plus I want to make my own hoop, and all these fiddly bits need to be done before I can make any real progress. Sigh. I think I may take a trip to Fabricland and the hardware store on Wednesday, if the weather is nice enough.
But the doublet pattern should work, if I add extra seam allowances to all the bodice seams (not shoulder or collar), so that is good, at least.
Hair cut tomorrow. First time in 2 years.
