Eyelets count and stuff

[green_martha]

Yeah, I'm up at a stupid hour, especially for someone on sick leave because of extreme fatigue. *shakes head* My blankets were sliding too much in th eHG's direction, so he poke dme a little, and BAM ! I was up and freaking out over a) what I'm going to wear over my 1887 red bustle dress (highly probably, the camel coat I made for the Avant-Garde dress, I think I has enough space behind the legs, or I'll whip up a talma in no time - so it's a non issue, really) and b) the fact that there are ugly shiny polyester dresses in the world and people who make and wear them. No kidding, the thought of it kept me awake.

And since I'm THAT bad at doing nothing and just staying in bed, I got up and went back to my Erris corset. I presently just finished the right part of the back lacing. That's 11 eyelets. This corset half needs 21 more. Then another 32 on the other side. Then inserting bones, waist tape (could have done that while stitching on the sewing channels actually...

My gallery system ist still broken so I can't really work on my site, but scanning pictures is still a pretty good way to keep me entertained while handsewing, and I love sharing. So here you go for some pretties from January 1887 :

Promenade dresses



Diner dress and evening cloak


Cloth dress and limousine dress (sorry, don't know what the fabric is in English)


Wool and chinchilla dress


House dress

There are more coming, but since the gallery's broken, I can't generate the thumbnaisl anymore, so they all go as links only at the bottom of this page.

I completely and totally understand. Sometimes I think about it, and I start twitching...! XP
