I spent the last two days recovering from a root canal, and working on some things for upcoming stories. I never did make the corset to go under Christine's dressing gown back in January, and since Isis will need to borrow it soon, I figured I'd take the time to finally make it. I used the bodice pattern for Miho's green FID gown, and thought it turned out very well.
Then I had to figure out what a Victorian gentleman would wear when he was doing some interior redecorating. I know that some of our most famous artists from the beginning of the 1900's wore a three-piece suit and tie even while painting in their studio. So they clearly wouldn't have dressed down too much. I figured, remove his overcoat and fancy tie, roll up his sleeves, and give him a work apron, and Steve would be good to go....
Now I just need to make Isis a new wig. I have the wig cap made, and all the strips of mohair sewn, and combed. I 'just' have to glue them all on, and style it, which is my least favourite part....
Anyways, I'm really happy with the new corset and petticoat.....
Now I just have to try them on Bianca.....
