Kinda gives me Demelza (from Poldark) vibes. Excellent work!

Thankyou! I haven’t watched the show but I’ve seen photos of the costumes, they’re beautiful

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I agree : there's a Demelza feel about it.

As a costumer myself, your symmetry and alignment of patterns is immaculate. Wow—quality work. OCD happy feels

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Yes - that's *exactly* what I was picking up on, just without the vocabulary to describe it. Thank you.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Thankyou! I had to go through every pattern I had for one that allowed me to pattern match ???

(I had a very limited piece of fabric to work with)

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I hear that! It’s clear you planned this strategically and with precision. Absolutely perfect!

Looks good! How much time would you say you've invested into this outfit?

5 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 1

Umm... probably five full days? I’ve been on and off working on it since March

5 years ago | Likes 42 Dislikes 0

You had me at “Looks good! How much?”

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

How much have I spent? I think around $50, all the fabric is thrifted and so was relatively cheap and I had the patterns already

Outstanding work.

I've always wondered... are the white ruffle bits attached or are they a part of a separate under garment?

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Thank you everyone! I knew the internet could educate me

Usually it's a chemise (a separate undergarment) if it's an accurate period piece. Gets hot during summer Ren faires.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

They are a separate under "dress" called a chemise.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yeah it’s a chemise underneath, with a gathered neckline

I am looking at making a similar style one for a corset I was gifted. Any recommendations?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I made this one with the Simplicity 5582 pattern

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Is there boning in the corset? It appears shaped, but I can't tell if you're using panels or not.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Depending on the period, the boning may be more likely to be in the clothing itself rather than the under garment. Sometimes both too though

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Don't ask personal questions - that's rude. She can bone in whatever she wants.

Thanks for asking! There’s boning in front to support the eyelets, but I’m also wearing a proper pair of stays underneath it all

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Bonus points for the pair of stays. Seems like a forgotten piece.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Not really forgotten, they just evolved into corsets. The terms are often used interchangeably. My personal thinking leans: stays make me -

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

think, no or very little boning & primarily bust/back support. Corsets more likely to be boned + shape the body as well as support things.
