Something I've been wondering for about a year now (and I posted on the Facebook page) is if there is any sewing pattern for a corset cover out there? I spent more money than I'm really willing to say on this beautiful corset a few years ago. It's terribly comfortable, though starting to get a little big since I've lost some weight.
It was a prop flask and it was empty to begin with, thank you very much!
While I love the beautiful pattern and fit, I would like a little more versatility available in my costuming. Because I don't want to spend a large amount of money like that on another corset, I wondered if there was a way to make a temporary cover for it -- kind of similar to those removable reupholsterings.
My friend Heather suggested I just make a new one, but the complexity behind them scares me a little. I can sew and follow a pattern, but I'm no seamstress. Even some simple things scare me sewing related...much less boning and panels? I do have a pattern for corsets, though so I may give it a try...
Since I'm asking for any ideas on corset-related items, I may as well ask for other steampunk ideas any of my readers may have. I feel like I have a hard time picking out costumes that will look good on me because I am a bigger girl. All the ones I see are beautiful, but wouldn't fit right on me. For example, I had kind of envisioned a steampunk lolita, which is what the photo above was supposed to be.
Costume, hair, makeup, anything. Throw me some suggestions. I'm always up for trying new things costume-wise. If you do post suggestions, I'll do my best to try them and post the results. (Oh dear, this could be dangerous with hair and makeup...)
But, I really am working on this:
I'm sorry for blowing you guys off for a book. In my defense:
Next week, I promise I'll have more of a WIP Wednesday post and not just some silly little filler like this. :) I am truly sorry for forgetting my days.
