3/26/09: I’ve *mostly* completed my version of the Dorothea Corset (Pair of Bodies). I hope you enjoy reading about the process!
1/24/09: New diary page started! Check out what I have so far on the making of a 1598 pair of bodies in the style that Dorothea Sabina Von Neuberg wore.
4/20/08: I added a small update on the Effigy Corset page on the results of the adjustments I made earlier…still not perfect but it’s getting there.
3/30/08: Yay! I finally got a chance to finish the adjustments I needed to make to my Effigy Corset and created a new page to show y’all what I did. Enjoy!
3/9/08: I think I’ve done it! Take a look at the new pictures of the muslin mock up for the bigger and better sleeve farthingale silhouette. Just scroll down to the bottom when you get there.
2/29/08: And another one! How would you like to read about the Elizabethan Venetian’s bodice construction?
2/28/08: I’m on a roll! Here’s some more updates, this time on the skirt construction of that Elizabethan Venetian outfit.
2/27/08: I got inspired to (finally) work on the Venetian Hairdo those courtesans and royals alike loved so well. I think they’re a hoot!
12/22/07: Here’s a hearty “THANKS!” to Ilona Peltz whose blog entry at aisledash.com sparked a ton of comments about my Elizabethan Venetian shower curtain dress diary!
9/15/07: First big snag. The silhouette isn’t right on my Farthingale Sleeves. Tell me if you can help by looking at what I have so far…
9/13/07: Before I can make the Ditchley dress however, I need to make sure I’ve got the right silhouette…so I need to make some sleeve farthingales.
9/3/07: I’ve started a new diary to chronicle my ongoing struggles with creating a reproduction Ditchley Portrait gown.
3/18/07: I wasn’t happy with the original theme I was using, as it didn’t seem to support the width I needed, so I’ll be playing with a few other WP themes from time to time. If you chance upon something weird it’s just me, playing.ALSO, I’ve added a new dress diary: Tudor Madness, and I’ve started loading pictures. I wanted to make the pics as detailed as possible, and was having trouble with the wide pictures messing up the code and discombobulating the navigation bars on my old theme. I hope the new ones work out better, though I did like the old theme a lot. Anyway, so enjoy the new diary!
2/26/07: I’ve started a Yahoo Group for the discussion of how historical clothing is interpreted in tv & film. Check it out by clicking the button!
7/22/06: Ok, so today I’ve spent the better part of 8 hours working on the French Farthingale pages. I’ve currently finished the first draft of the intro page and have uploaded the construction pictures in a separate page. When I can, I’ll add brief descriptions to the step-by-step pictures for the non-visual folks out there.
