I'm back, and it FITS!! Squee!!

And here's a shot with Milord. We're both wearing the "Ren-friendly Rainwear" I made a couple of years ago (using waterproof microfiber raincoat material). I think I've worn my cloak before once, but this is the first time Milord has worn his tunic and cowl. I made these back in 2006, I think, and I can already see things I'd do differently. Oh, well.

Ok, and that is absolutely my last corset shot in this thread, I promise. Um... until I make the rest of the pieces that go with it, of course! LOL

Oh, that does look very fine! And I remember you making that rainwear... Fun project!

The dog is cute, too.

New faire season, new garb! Semi-HA middle class, made of linen from fabrics-store.com. The trim is linen as well, I made bias tape (and only burned myself with the iron a couple of times!). This doesn't have a separate corset, I used cable ties to bone the bodice in the front and at the side lacing openings. I used narrow grossgrain ribbon for the laces, the twine in the picture was temporary. I plan to make sleeves to go with this, but figured the first weekend of TRF would be too hot to wear them. I was wrong, of course!

At TRF last weekend. Thank you, DS, for the picture!
