Anyone want make victorian corsets and crinolines with me?

I have the patterns for both and will be ordering boning and hoop steel from overseas shortly (we can put in a group order if you want). Anyone want to join me in doing a couple of sewing bees to make these and chat? :slight_smile:

Oh were I in Auckland I’d say yes. I hired a crinoline for my Kapcon larp costume and I’m dying for one of my own!

The spirit is willing but the timetable and bank account will have to see closer to the time.

Yeah, double that darling. But I’m really keen to join in Zara, I have some Victorian undergarments patterns aswell but never get the chance to make anything. Is this going to be a soley chick’s thing, or are guys joining in? Because if we help each other with fittings would we be comfortable with men around (just a thought)?

Yes, let me know details, and I shall try to arrange time.

Hehe, I can’t imagine too many men wanting in on a crinoline-making session somehow. I’d say “or corsets” but I’m a bit more dubious about that one… :smiling_imp:

Ditto what the others said about keenness vs. timetable and bank account.

I promised i would not troll in zara’s topics… but please note that the will to do so is here :stuck_out_tongue:

Wouldn’t it be lovely if you extended that courtesy to the whole of Diatribe? Ahh, bliss!

Unfortunately I’m no longer in Auckland, but I would totally be up for it! Hmmm, maybe when I get a holiday…
