Miss Philomena

I actually sewed today \o/ I've got most of a teens corset pieced, and I'll probably do the last bit of assembly tonight after a dinner break, and tomorrow I need to run out and pick up some tape to make boning casings with.

I'm using jenthompson's corset pattern, since it's not complicated, and it's not super tiny, which means I didn't need to practically double the waist measurements. Always a plus.

I didn't want to make it plain white, because that's boring, but I still needed to keep it a light color so I can make myself a white afternoon dress. I was originally digging through the stash hoping for something in a light pink, but then I discovered an old piece of lilac/silver cotton lamé. It's a fairly thin fabric so I fused it to some plain cotton to give it enough strength.

I'm hoping to get the corset finished tomorrow, so I can then start on a dress for the Titanic dinner at Dress U Tuesday, as I'll be away Wednesday to Sunday.
