Suit progress
My fic writer wrote the fic, and it was delightful (fans self), so now I really need to get stitchin'!
I finished most of the corset on Thursday. I got it boned for a proper try-on yesterday and it needs a little adjustment. I have a pretty significant wrinkle at the side and over hte back hip, so I think I need more room there. I'm willing to add a gusset, since this is my LOVELY coutil and I don't really have enough to recut even half of it, I'm just not sure WHERE. At the front of the wrinkle? The middle? The back? I've put it aside for now while I ponder that.
I also took measurements while I was laced in. The spoon busk makes my tummy quite flat, visually
Today I went ahead with a pair of combos. I waffled on the fabric, and finally went with linen. (USE THE GOOD FABRIC). I also cut up a sheet to use for a shirt.
Yesterday I also took a pattern from my favourite pair of now-unwearable jeans, and then laid the pieces on top of each other, and y'all - those period tailoring manuals are on to something. The drawings look a lot like the drafting patterns. So im gonna give them a go!
