Elizabethan corset... I think A long time lurker, first time poster here, so bear with me. Seeing the wonderful creations on this community almost daily made me very afraid of posting stuff that I made so far, but my latest corset I'm actually proud enough of to show around. :P ( Not dial-up friendly! )Thanks for looking! :) Criticism welcome; I want to improve! :D |

Facings
What is the purpose behind facings on corsets? I've used them, but more often I tend to skip them on corsets I make for myself. If one is using a lining, is there any Vast And Significant point to putting them in of which I am unaware? To my eyes, they don't add anything much to the look of a corset. Is there a functional reason to put them in? |

Philosophy of Medicine with Harvey
Wooo course selection again.
I'm trying to figure out my last arts elective (I'm an MBG major). I've already taken SPAN*1100, PSYC*1100, and HIST*1150 (in progress). Would PHIL*2030 (Philosophy of Medicine) be good? I hear that Harvey is a REALLY tough prof, and I'm not that good with papers...so maybe it's not such a good choice. I just figured the course sounds like it'd be interesting.
Input on PHIL*2030 with Harvey? Any other suggestions for art electives?
Oh and Happy Turkey Weekend! =] |

Happy Birthday Dad Today would have been my dads birthday, but it is also the day of the accident. I will be making his favorite foods again today, something I have done every year since he died, so 4 years so far I feel a bit angry today, short tempered with everyone around me, I just kind of want to be left alone with my thoughts. Current Mood:  cranky |

I guess he's really not coming back. It's been a little over three weeks. He's not gonna surprise us and be okay. It's finally hit me that he's gone and I feel terrible. I miss him. I hope he's okay. He deserves to be happy. I hope he knows I won't forget about him. And how much I love him. I just hope he's okay, wherever he is. I can't believe he's really gone forever. I miss every detail of his personality, even the flaws. I would give anything for any piece of him. Sometimes, I feel like he's near me, but then I feel like I'm deluding myself to feel okay. I just miss you, Dad. So much. I love you more than you ever know.
And I guess you really do find out who your true friends are in times like this. In my case, I don't have any. None of my friends have called in a week. A week! It's been three weeks since my Dad died suddenly. The first week they all called once, then they stopped all communication. I don't understand, why aren't they there for me when I need them most? They know I just moved to a new town all alone, where I have no support system. I don't understand and am so hurt. I have nobody. |

Dad's clothes So, mom finally mentioned that she'd like to start going through Dad's clothes and giving them to people who could use them. It's very hard for her, and I have a feeling that even though she said she is ready, she's not really. His clothes are all still neatly folded in the drawers or hanging in the closet. But since she mentioned it, I asked if my fiance could have Dad's old coat -- two years ago Dad got a new coat.. and I loved it so much, that they bought me one just like it in a different color for Christmas. My fiance grew out of his coat last winter, and it's starting to get cold again... so I thought it would be nice if he had Dad's coat, it would sort of match mine and we wouldn't have to go pay for an expensive coat. Mom reluctantly agreed, so I picked it up from her house last week and brought it home. I had my fiance try it on, and out of nowhere I just started BAWLING. I had no idea how much seeing my fiance in Dad's coat would affect me. It fit him just fine, but he was like "Well I can't wear it if you're going to cry every time...." I ended up having to give the coat back to mom, it was just too intense of a smack in the head and I wasn't expecting it, nor do I really know how to explain it. I guess I just remembered the last time I saw Dad wearing it, which was Christmas 2006, his last Christmas with us. That's when I got the coat that matched his. The last family photo Dad was in, he was wearing that coat. It was just too much to see it on somebody other than Dad. I have been doing pretty well since I started taking meds, but that came out of nowhere and reminded me that some things will never get easier. I guess if mom finally gets rid of Dad's other clothes, she will just have to give them to strangers... but it would probably be even weirder to run into some random person one of these days wearing Dad's coat, heh. Anybody else have experiences like this with your Dad's belongings bringing on such a strong emotional reaction? Current Mood:  contemplative |

Duct Tape Corset Pattern Has anyone see a tutorial on how to cut the duct tape mum into pattern pieces? (mum = the over the mouth neck corset. thanks ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) icequeenphx for the info on the name) I covered my neck in duct tape and cut it off. No problems there but the way the piece curves has me somewhat baffled. I have read to cut the tape version of the mum into halves then fourths but I still don't see how that accomodated the curve for under and over the chin. Am I missing something here? Thanks for the help! |

So I am from Louisiana and we all love LSU. Since dad died, I cant watch them play anymore. I know that sounds so trivial, but like, LSU is a way of life down here. If you don't watch it you better have a damn good excuse. People tell me that I am crazy because I should want to watch because dad loved it so much. BUT I JUST CANT!!! I cant handle the phone not ringing when something happens... I can't handle not hearing him whoot and hollar after a big play. I just can't do it. I miss him soo much.
I picked up my cap and gown yesterday for graduation. I cant believe my dad wont be there to see me get my diploma. 4 and a half years of college and I am almost done... and hes not here! I accepted a big job offer for when I graduate and I couldn't call dad and tell him. How am I supposed to make it through Thanksgiving, and graduation, and Christmas, and New Years, and then the one year anniversary of his death?? I don't want to do it... I don't want to make it through... I want it to be ok to sulk... and I cant even do that. I have so much going on with school and work that I just cant take one day to lay around and stay sad. I just want to be sad without feeling guilty! |

This is slow! So here you can see that after a week I've only done the bottom binding. It should take me a day to do the top when I decide what I'm doing. For now, I'll just stick some eyelets in the front and back (I have a gross sitting around after all) and get to playing around with my bigger pieces of fabric. This takes lots of time! I'm nearly worn out! Also, why don't we have a binding tag? ;-) ( Why does this take so long? I want a dress already :( ) |

edwardian + pics of my first corset Hello everyone! I am currently working on an Edwardian outfit, but, alas, got a bit stuck with the corset (and therefore can't take measurements for the skirt). I know I've probably embarked on a project that's way too difficult for someone with my experience (again), but hey, I thought so too about my previous corsets and they worked out ok, so...Anyway, I used a pattern from the straight-front corset group on yahoo. It was mentioned in the messages that these patterns were not to scale, but I messed around with it until it sort of fitted and made a new top and bottom line. Anyway, there are some issues...So I have a lot of questions, as usual. ( pictures ) BUT I also have some ( pics ) |
