petite pannier aka the demon pannier

[jennylafleur]

The demon pannier are finished!! These have been the bane of my existence for over 2 weeks now, oy I’m so glad they are done!

I don’t really like pannier. That is to say I love them on other people and in movies but I don’t love wearing that side hoop silhouette. It just doesn’t make me feel amazing the way layers of petticoats, a 18th century bum

I think you've made a great shape! Well done. (If you want it wider at the top, just add a pad - don't go through the stress of altering it. See Hunnisett for a "biscuit pad".)

Thanks so much! Now having worn it I think it is just fine - whew! But thanks for the suggestion, I'll tuck that away in case i need it next time! :>

This has nothing to do with the pannier (other than b&w stripey LOVE) but I just thought you should know that of all your lovely gowns, the one I cannot stop wanting to rip off you and run away with is that red print gown.

SO. PRETTY.

Haha! I have to admit it's my favorite of my 18th century things too. Mine! :P

Ugh, what a pain! It really gives a nice shape, though! And I love the black & white stripey fabric.

Thanks! It was the fun of the stripes that kept me going. I wouldn't have survived with boring muslin!

Thanks! Oh I'm really excited about the fancy dress options with the pannier - that will happen one of these days!

Whew! So glad that is over and I never have to do it again! :>
