yay:) Don't forget to look at the quotes from the era at the end of each section/book:) Full of really nifty information. The early part is really good for materials and amounts used. And I'm sure there is menion in there of horn. I really wonder if I should get that corset thing for the horn in it....

I found another fabric that could work for the fireside skirt. *hangs head* My fabric for the blue dress is just not going to get to the right shade of blue in time. I think I'll have to go to New Market and hunt for other options.

LOL about the fireside fabric... ;)

I am having a hard time in drafting the pattern to my size. Do you have any suggestions??

You could come over here and I could show you how I drafted mine? Or you could take a pattern off mine? Or I could help fit?

Ohhh if I could come over. My next days off arent until Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week if that is okay??

Plus if you want to make the fireside outfit then that is okay. I don't mind. :)

Have fun with your book, and keep us updated on your progress.

Cool, if you are up for an early start on Sunday the 18th, 10:30amish, at my new place, we will be holding our bi-weekly stitch and bitch and the topic up for discussion is corsets... you could bring your nice book to share :)

Hmmmm tempting but considering I will have worked through to 5.30am that morning and then going back to work that night at 7.30pm I just don't think I will be able to make it. But don't be surprised if I turn up all bleary eyed, so I can ask questions of people who have made corsets.

Hmmmm.. I wonder if I should toddle up, I have all the patterns from C&C and I have a three corsets I've made from it... I've also made a few for other people...

I think you should toodle to the sitch and b*tch, I could come and get you. :)
