Susan, I don't know anything about reproduction Regency wear, but this looks like a good site: [link]
Ooooooh, pretty. Jilli would look pretty in the pretty corset, therefore Jilli should have the pretty corset.
I like the way you think.
Maybe once I recover financially from the move, I can order one from the corset maker in SF (Dark Garden?)
Lee, Dark Garden (while fabulous) is ... expensive. And I say this as someone with a corset collection. $460 for a corset that costs $245 by Meschantes. Now, is DG's workmanship worth it? I have a corset from them that I bought as part of my wedding dress almost 7 years ago, and it is still in fabulous condition. But I don't know if I'd be willing to pay $460 for it now.
Happy Birthday, Cindy!
ETA: Pretty Regency dresses! I do love the look, but unfortunately the look isn't that great on me. I think I could rock an Edwardian dress, though.
How about some androgynous glam rock stars for Jilli and Juliana?
Ah, also pretty. I feel like getting super-glammed up tonight, but since I'll probably just come home from the show, maybe not. Hmmm.
I could not justify $460 for a corset. $245, maybe. $460, no way.
I love my hairdresser. I emailed him about moving up our appointment because I'm having root issues. Here's what he emailed back:
Attention, Attention please....
Ahem. I will NOT have anyone running aorund with roots so bad they resemble a trailer park refugee. Please know I have rescheduled the summit with the president and Pope in order to accomodate you. I will fly to camp David when we are done, they will simply have to wait...Saturday it is. Can we say 11am?
Thanks for the advice, Jilli. I agree with you and Juliana-- the extra money isn't something I can justify.
I ♥ ChiKat's hairdresser!
More thanks for more birthday wishes!
How sweet of Juliana to make a bunch of us GAY for Cindy's b-day.
Happy Birthday, Cindy.
The corset I tried on but was too 'spensive for me to buy: most comfortable foundation garment I've ever had on. But I wear bras to sleep in anymore.
I've done Sam's Club diapers (but I've found them to be about the same price as Babies R Us w/coupons). And I get so many freakin' coupons for diapers I can pretty much always get the discounts.
Susan, my niece's son was a VERY large kid. Not fat, just HUGE for a toddler. She ended up putting him in pull ups by the time he was 2 because most diapers didn't fit him. She potty trained him ASAP after that. His dad is 6' 2" and 210lbs. Big guy and his son will be just like him. Owen doesn't stand a chance in the height department.
I love ChiKat's hairdresser, too.
And I'm more than mildly miffed at Jilli's friend. That's just completely rude.
