So I have a weird question. I have made several corsets, like the tv one, silverado and 18 century stays. With all the xorsets i have the same problem. I have to wear a bra underneath it, to get the shape and cleavage. If I dont, the girls will just slide down, and will be very uncomfy. I am wonderi...

Re: tv296 ripple skirt - step 9
Thank you heather, it makes a little bit more sense now.
Another question, with step 6 sewing it to the waistband.
With the placket. You fold it in? It says at the middle of the pleat, but mine goes in further. Is that right?

the adventures of the 1830 dress (in progress)
I am working on several dress at this moment (a 1895 dress, and a robe a l'anglaise) but the focus is on my 1830 gown, with a corded petticoat and a bonnet. I am using the truly victorian 455 I made my own corded petticoat! It is too ugly to see daylight, and should be covered with a petticoat reall...

Re: french bodice and parisian skirt
Thanks for the comments!
I made the hair with fake (kanelon) hair over wire. I make a lot of hair pieces, the curls and the back on the first 2 pictures are fake too. I even made a crown, and horns with fake hair

Re: tv455 i am lost
Thanks alot again, I am so happy with your help.
At the back, its loose at the waist, not tight on my body. But i think i am worrying too much about the fit.
So i dont need to cut a smaller front piece? Only adjusting the armholes

french bodice and parisian skirt
A while ago i made my gothic dress with the french bodice and parisian skirt. Although it looks lovely, i worn it only once. Black isnt my color. I prefer pink! i am wearing my LM silverado corset, the tv101 bustle, french bodice and the parisian skirt. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j152/sp0iled...
