Titanic dinner party
Apr. 18th, 2012 02:12 pmOur dinner party on Saturday was such fun! Everyone made a real effort, we all looked super, and the food was awesome! There were 9 of us, so we each made one course, and they were all scrummy!
I didn't get many very good photos, and totally forgot to leave time when I was getting dressed to snap some shots of getting into my dress, with it's crazy complicated fastening! I was planning to take some when I got undressed instead, but my corset suddenly became terribly uncomfortable as we were clearing up. I have what's known as a pigeon chest - the ends of my ribs between my breasts stick forward, instead of being nicely in line with my breastbone. This means that if a corset busk hits at just the wrong point at the top, ie. is too low or too high, and comes low enough for my belly to push it forward at the bottom when I sit down, the top of the busk digs in and becomes unbearable. It was so bad when we were clearing up I had to strip off, and still could hardly move without it hurting. I'm hoping I might be able to re-cut the 2 centre front pannels to make the top edge higher, and use a long busk.
Anyway, I do have lots photos to show you, and ( they can all be found under the cut .... )
I've spent the last couple of days pottering about with a bit of modern sewing - I've made a pink apron and have half made a dress. Once the dress is finished I will be starting on my outfit for our Georgian trip to Keddleston while Aubry![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girliegirl32786 is here. I'm so beyond excited that one of my costuming friends is going to be here with me! So excited in fact, that I am completely failing at finalising a design! I know I want a jacket, but keep wiffling back and forth between ideas! I can't even decide on a fabric!!!!
