This is the bodice I'm lacking the stomacher/sleeves for. I could deal w/o the sleeves if I can come up with a stomacher, but I can't grommet to that extent, nor do I have any boning laying around.
If you can figure out a way to grommet, I have boning laying around, if you want a couple. My sides are also medium, I think, and are brown besides. My Pendragon peasant bodice is a Medium too, and those fit smaller than the celtic.
I have a Juliet too, but the stomacher is brown w/ acorns on it. Want me to dig around for it, or would it just WAY not match your Juliet?
It's black, but I have a black silk chemise and skirt too, so I think I could make that work.
Do you want to bring it up tomorrow and we can fiddle with it tomorrow at lunch and see if it will fit? I never get to see you anyway. :) I've never tried a stomacher with the large or medium Juliet, so I have no idea if it will fit.
I'm soooo out of practice for sewing. You've seen my burgundy silk chemise. I was thinking of possibly doing a black velvet (at least I believe I still have some) "gates of hell" overdress. A little more medieval.
However, I will gladly accept all help! How's that for a bind... her friend that has been doing/going to renaissance faires for 27 years has... nothing to wear. Oops!
Sure! With the damp/cold, we shouldn't be out overly late... I want to swing by the Kid's Kastle festival over in Highland Village, let them trick or treat a few houses, and call it a night.
I wear a small bodice, so I'm useless in the loaning-of-garb department. But I did want to express my sympathies on the situation, and I hope you can get stuff together in time that works.
Nothing like ~thinking~ you are all set and finding out you aren't. :-p
That's totally it. *L* I figured even if the mediums were too snug (and I won't have experienced bodice-tiers with me, so backlace would be a challenge anyway... that my other black and burgundy trimmed bodice would still work.
Thanks for the sympathies! One way or another we'll make this work. :) I think that's one of the best things about having resourceful girlfriends!
Dilemma solved... I got a hold of Mary Dane yesterday on my way home to inquire about my errant hat (I left it in the back room in Pendragon the last time i went to faire... 2.5 years ago). She has 2 Juliets, one large, one XL, and 2 stomachers. She's loaning me the royal blue with black lace one. I'm set.

I have a Juliet. It would take some digging to get to it, but the stomacher is burgundy. Black sleeves with burgundy material.
Call it plan C.
