Costuming for weight loss
Nov. 23rd, 2005 07:00 pmI've lost 7-8 pounds already on the SBD -- whee! However, my boobs are deflating (the bust is always the first to go), which means that my corset no longer fits. So I'm using ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
frualeydis' website as inspiration and making an outfit circa 1130. It's pretty and elegant and understated while being very accomodating to weight loss (that, and I think I've *finally* got the hang of making tunics! Yes, I'm stupid when making tunics -- I have the hardest time with them!).
So my linen kirtle is almost done -- I'm even handsewing the SOB. It's coming together pretty easily. The kirtle will be pink. Very very pink. Not quite Pepto-Bismol or Barbie pink, but close. The gown to go over the kirtle will be a lovely thin and drapy navy blue wool. (It was the last of JoAnn's $3/yd wool. I bought the last 3 5/8 yards in the store.)
Dang, I'm getting all sorts of productive today.
