I Have a Corset!!

You might recall that I need a Catherine Parr costume for a historical fashion show in July. For a while I thought I would never finish the corset, but John helped with the grommets last night, and now I have a complete set of Tudor underwear: shift, bum roll, farthingale, and corset. Crazy thing is, none of this will show--now I have to work on the items that will.



The corset was the worst, though, endless steps of intricate instructions that made my head hurt. I finally broke it down into steps, making myself complete one each day. Hmmm. That's how you finish a novel, too. The Bitch Principle (Butt In The Chair, Honey), usually works. This time it was just a different chair in a different room!
