My corset i bought from Alter-Ego Erotics came today and it is great! I was surprised at how good the quality is, even though it is not custom. I am looking forward to when they have the other one I want back in stock in my size..... and they have a lovely green one as well. I had heard good things about this retailer and her products and I am pleased say it was true. huzzah!
The dress has arrived and it is even better than expected! The fabric is quality, the cut is great! I think I need a crinoline to go underneath, as it looks really cute puffed out. I am also going to stitch the top pleats together a bit to keep them from going all cattiwumpus, as is their wont. I want a more polished look.
SO PLEASED!
I also made myself a skirt today (McCalls 5431). I cut it out the other night, and it took about 2.5 hours to sew it up today. I think it would make a cute ren faire peasant skirt if I add a longer border, I am undecided on it. it's long. and full. I think a plainer fabric than what I choose would have worked better, but I really liked this pattern... maybe i will post photos soon.
