I mocked up a polonaise bodice &#8212; based on ye olde Butterick not-very-accurate-but-darnit-it-fits-me bodice I used for Cosi Fan Tutte and the blue caraco. Modified the front for no stomacher (for the caraco, it was a zone, so I now I have another variation). Also modified the caraco sleeve because I wasn&#8217;t satisfied with that fit.<\/p>\n<p>And I just finished cutting it all out of the mystery-content dark purple and black wide stripe I bought in Philadelphia&#8217;s garment district last year. Need to cut out a lining (bag lining FTW!). Have plenty for a big ol&#8217; skirt, but this fabric is kind of heavyweight, so I might need to make a better skirt support than just my big bumroll. Perhaps a <a href=\"http:\/\/demodecouture.com\/galleries\/18th\/#supports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quilted petticoat a la Kendra<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the blue, Mom offered to take me to the Super Jo-Ann in Fremont, and I ain&#8217;t passing that up! We have a sh*t-ton of coupons, so damage will be done in the trim aisle, at least. Because everything I make from now on will be loaded with trim, thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/trystbat\/sets\/72157614861470351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnivale<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><em>Later that day:<\/em> Added some velvet ruched trim to the pile (see picture above). Also procured quilted cotton for a petticoat.<\/p>\n<p>And I realized I&#8217;m going to have to make another chemise before the con because wearing 18th-century costumes several days in a row, well, um, that just requires more than one set of undies. Eww.
