Yeah, that part about posting pictures...
Sep. 2nd, 2009 10:09 pm... that's easier when I can locate the digicam.
Not that there's much to report, or to show. Except that a 4m40 long piece of cotton organdi is pretty damn long. Especially when you screw up and have to recut it. At least I had enough fabric left over to cut it right the second time, and I was able to salvage the inner layer of the bustle from the cutting mishap.
Right now I have both the outer layer and the inner layer assembled, and am in the process of marking gathering lines and pinning boning channels to the outer layer. And I am, as was predictable, out of grosgrain ribbon. I will order some more, but I'll first mark all lines on the bustle and cut out the steel, because I fear I won't have enough steel either. So I'd as well order both together. That is, once I find where I got the steel and ribbon from. It's been quite a few years since I bought them, and I can't find them again. Annoying.
Hmmm... can't find the ribbon again, but I did locate the steel. And caps for it. I'm definitely buying the caps this time, electrical tape was too much of a pain to work with last time.
