green_marthaGoign through my last posts I realised they weren't that clear about my current projects. So let's be a little clearer.
The white and pink combinations are done. A corset will be made to go with it, someday.
Denise's costume is completed, it consists in the blue corset I made for my friend Julie (which she'll get as a present after she'll have worn it for the LARP), cream colored drawers with blue ribbons, and a cream colored chemise with insertion from the corset fabric. And it has ruffles ^^
My current project is the "basement corset", aka this thing. The original one was found in a basement, and the maintainer from marquise.de has taken the pattern of the garment. After many alterations, I think I got the shape right for me. I'm in the process of inserting the left hip piece. After that I'll wonder
- what to use to cord the breast area
- how to make the cording, since this is a one layer corset
- how to put in the bones without interfering too much with said cording
- what to bind this thing with
I think I'll go pay a visit to my fabric dealer tomorrow and look for some kind of purple/blue cotton bias.
That's it for tonight, I'm going back to my hip piece.
Unless someone offers a brilliant idea about this european costume college fantasy right here and now... ^^
ETA : hip pieces are soooo cool !
