[Taffy Saltwater]

Wow, Kate!  Beautiful!  I don't have anything nearly that gorgeous, but here's a underbust corselet (26 or 27 bones - I lost count, spiral & straight steels & some zip ties) that's done except for the grommeting.  I think the next big project I do will be an actual Vic corset.

Oh, Taffy... that's gorgeous!!!  I LOVE it! 

[Kate XXXXXX]

Oh, Taffy, that's great!  I love the lace.  Where did you find it?  (For my next Big Frock extravaganza I'll need lace like that.  Musketeers!  Cavaliers and Roundheads!)

99% positive Jo Ann's carries Taffy's lace in 2 sizes both white & off-white.

Want-want just don't know what for, yet.

And Taffy - that purple fabric is sooo pretty!  Where did you find it?

[LadyShadow]

Love that purple. Beautiful work.

[Taffy Saltwater]

Thank yew - thank yew very much!  I think the lace came from Joann's; the purple came from a local store called The Whole Nine Yards.  It runs like $17/yd, making it much too pricey for me to do anything more than a small project w/it.  (but I have enough left to make a wrist bag)

The 17th c gown is done! The brooch is just a stand-in, though.


And here is a knife pleated petticoat:


I also crocheted a couple pairs of mitts.

[Kate XXXXXX]

I still love this gown!  And the mittens...

Amen and amen! Rebecca, that Baroque dress is gorgeous!

[Sorcha]

Love that gown!  Especally love the neck and sleeves!!!

[CenturiesSewing]

Two layers of cotton duck, one layer of red cotton sateen (standing in for silk). All hand sewn with black silk thread, hand sewn eyelets with matching cotton floss. Boned with thin cable ties, and busk that started its life as a paint stick. Pattern is my usual bodice block.





Inside shot! My stitching is anything but neat at times. I can always add a thin lining to cover it.




The boyfriend didn't exactly lace me in right. 

[Lady Catherine]

    omg!!! that "bodies" is to die for!!!!   

[Kate XXXXXX]

Beautiful, as ever.

[Lady Rebecca]

Wow, excellent job!

[Valencia]

Wow, it's fantastic! The fit is so perfect!
