Lady Kathleen,

Is the gold piping on the edge of the piccadil hand bound on or, was it sewn in the seam, and turned?

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Lady Stitch!


The gold piping was sewn onto the picadil before I sewed onthe lining. It appeared in the portrait that to be the case of piping. I was thinking of adding a string of 4mm pearls to cover it if need be.

They look pretty good.

As for making it a bit less neat in the front...  Just ad a quarter inch to each front piece side seam.  Or half an inch if you want it a whole inch bigger.

Thanks, Kate!  I'm wondering if tapering the addition will work: maybe 1/2 inch at the top/underarm of the seam (because I need the room at the bustline), down to nothing at the bottom, because it fits fine at the waist?

Yes, that will work.

An Out of Era taster for the Frilling Frocking of last weekend, working on such glories as our 18th C Saques and a caraco...

Day 2: http://community.livejournal.com/dressdiaries/475189.html


I have to admit I love my green silk stays!  Based on the Corset pattern generator and Mara Riley's conversion to 18th C stays...

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

That 18th Century corset looks great, Kate!

The gown is going to be marvelous as well!!!

I cannot wait to make my 18th Century gown and corset.

[LadyStitch]

Ooooo lovlies lovies indeed.   There are times when I wish I worked for larger theaters and got to make the fancy stuff, but I would miss my odd ball things.

Again wonderful work.

I can't make my mind up whether I love my purple one best or Su's teal one!  But we are both having a blast working on these things and all the rest of the kit.
