Corset! Awesome! Let us know how it turns out, and I may order one from you (if you're open to my special ordering one).

You can rebuild her. Make her stronger...faster. You have the technology.

@val- cool!
the stuff I ordered is a lot more flexible than I anticipated. I'm going to use it for two projects anyway, cause that stuff doesn't grow on trees.

(oh and I am tired. like holy shit I just spent 15 hours at school on little sleep and get to do it all again in 7 hours time tired).

Please, go to bed.

no can do.

I have to press, finish seams, hand hem two dresses by 6 am.

Fashion design isn't for wimps ;p

YOU CAN DO IT

(spoken in my best Bela Karyoli voice)

Well, then, DON'T WIMP OUT!

I'm not a historical costumer.

That is insane :'o
I wanna see the finished products, though!

I have a friend that makes corsets for a living. I'll get you her email so she can give you pointers.

@carlo- cool.

I'm actually just using it in a couture dress under bodice thingy. Pattern done, muslin being presented tomorrow.

The real corsetry will start in a month or so once I finish this dress, and I think I'll need to order some more heavy duty steel for that job.

I don't remember her website, but she did design and make this:

Yay! I made a repro 1860s corset a while back and the boning for that was crazy. I know why ladies fainted a lot.
