Wow, cool, our own Ren Faire message board!
I got your email and promptly did a stupid and deleted it without writing sheesh.
I know the feeling about garb, I made this great bodice early last season and now its too big. I really dont want to make anything else right now what with me being early on but Im gonna hve to wear something. I think at least for the 2 weekends rapidly approaching I can take in my Irish Dress and get by with that and a bra under(hate wearing bra with garb). *sigh*
Newbie here. Our faire starts this weekend & runs for 7 weekends. I have to buy a new bodice this yr, but it's because I've gained weight. Haven't had my wls yet. So I have to buy a new bodice to wear for 1 yr (no, I don't sew!) & then turn around & buy a new one again next year! Bummer! But I'm looking forward to downsizing my entire wardrobe, so it's okay!
Greetings all - its so neat to find our own ren faire board!!
My first real garb was my irish dress and I love it but it does not have near enough boning to support me, so i'm stuck wearing a bra under it or not wearing it at all
I /love/ the godess bodice I got on ebay, front is nearly solid steel! I joke that I could joust in the thing.. no problem with lift in that thing (grin)
