chocolatepotAagh, I hate when you have a story and you have to give so much backstory to make it make sense. Okay. Okay. At the very end of April, Dr. D1 (lungs doctor) left for a couple of weeks when his wife gave birth, and gossip around everywhere in the hospital was that he wasn't going to come back. Apparently a while ago some people(?) from South Carolina came up and talked to Dr. D1 and Dr. D2 (kidneys, they don't really share a practice, just space) about going down there. Almost as soon as Dr. D1 got back, he did announce that he was moving down to SC in July, to nobody's surprise.
Now, Dr. D2 was thinking about a fistula conference in SC recently, and decided at the last moment that he wasn't going ... but then decided at the very last moment that he was, so we had to cancel all his patients for this week; he wanted them to be stuffed into the schedule for the next week and have us work harder and Michelle even come in on the weekend to figure out the scheduling. This inconsideration for us, for the patients, and for the NP is really unlike him. And now I found out that Dr. D2 has sold his house recently, and about the poachers from SC, so of course speculation is beginning to ramp up that he may be going with Dr. D1 to continue their not-actually-a-single-related-practice together.
THE SUSPENUSE 0.0 IT'S MIND BOOGLING! (I'm hoping it's true, so my whole moving issue will become less fraught.)
Okay, from looking at fashion plates I think that I need a bustle with bones around the hem (TV108; the skirt shape in these winter 1873 plates and the summer 1873 one on the left) but I'm using a lobster-tail bustle. Because it's simpler to make, and I can justify a smaller bustle for the summer and/or for slightly less high-income styles. And anyway, 1873 as a solid date is not important anyway, seeing as the math etc. from last time.
I've got several yards of unbleached muslin, and I'll stop at Aubuchon at some point for a new bag of cable ties. Twill tape is not in short supply around here.
1870s is not a great era for finding modern patterns. I am interpreting my semi-promise to use real patterns to mean "making a serious effort at accurately scaling up Janet Arnold patterns rather than eyeballing it all and poorly draping", and I'm going to use that nice bi-bodiced one on p. 28.
