(no subject)

I'm still frustrated that I made the drawers pattern for someone with a 40" waist, but now it's kind of a funny story and not actually "ugh, I wasted my whole evening".

I want to look at other people's Edwardian sewing for inspiration, but nobody seems to do that. Or maybe it's just that practically everyone I follow does 18th century stuff. Anybody know of anyone?

so, just a note

I'm finding that for the neck-to-waist measure in the "American System" in The Edwardian Modiste, I can't actually use my neck-to-waist measure (they don't even have one in 13.5", anyway, but I tried with 19"). I'm using 30" now and it's coming out right, or closer to right, anyway. I don't quite get it. Just, you know, if anyone else tries to use this book, you might want to play around with that one.

Today I abused my ability to get the internet at work by starting Dress at Downton, a Tumblr about Downton Abbey costumes, because the world needs it.
