chocolatepotMom called this evening to see if I wanted to go to the Artificer's Weekend at the Battlefield tomorrow, so I went "oh crap, I have to do a couple of things to make my ensemble wearable." I immediately wet down my straw hat and curved it into a nice shape - I think flat hats look fine if they're trimmed, but if they're not they're much better with a bit of a shape - and now I have materials out to make a new stomacher because my old one is way too small in every direction. I measured myself to see how long it ought to be, and then I got out PoF I to see about what size they are in there ... and the size is the size I've determined mine ought to be, so why on earth did I go ahead and make it 9" high in the first place? What is wrong with me? Oh well.
I don't like my cap's non-ruffle at all, but that won't show as much if I'm wearing my hat, so it's something to put off. (I'd bring stuff with me to work on it while I'm there, but I'd have to put in work getting that together when making the new stomacher is 100x more important.) And, of course, my shift is still too late for the period but whatever. Although ... I could always go in my thesis outfit. That might be interesting.
Well, I will put on concealer and have good pictures taken where I look less uncomfortable than last time.

I was finishing up a rack of 1910s/20s/30s dresses and when I got to the end I was so happy for a minute because I thought I was into the boxed storage, which is like presents because you don't know what's in it until you open it, and then I remembered that there was still one last rack of men's coats and pants. :| I powered through it as fast as possible and was glad I did because the first box I went to was full of samplers. And the second had a Fortuny Delphos dress on top. Yeah.
