[quote=“clare”]Thin wooden slats from bamboo blinds also work well as boning. I made a vaguely elizabethan jumper for re-enactment stuff several years ago and these worked fine.
For support having a fair bit of boning at the front would be a good idea.
Aiwe- I’ll bring mine along to Sword and Shield training on Sunday for you to have a look at if you are there.[/quote]
Yes, I’ll be there. I’ll be happy to look at your jumper, as I’m seriously thinking of making one (even bought some eyes and hooks today ).
The other question that I’m really wondering about - how to sit while wearing the jumper? I have a denim jacket that fits fery tightly, I used it to make patterns for some clothes before and will be doing it again. However, when I fully zip it on the front and sit like this - it’s not that easy And the fabric actually bends around my body, but still it’s all very tight. So, I’m now thinking of how would it be to sit in jumper which fits the body even more tightly than that jacket, but at the same time does nt bend around
Since you’ve been wering jumper before, I will probably be asking you tomorrow on how exactly you move in it (and breath too! )
