I think corsets are beautiful, I just can't justify buying formal wear.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

But I have no circle skirts, so it's just looking.
Just looking maybe here: [link]
Oh, and ita, you should keep an eye on your mailbox in the next few days. Just because.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not looking to do that. I'm thinking underbust as an ornate belt, but work and/or recreational.
I blame the concussion. It seems to be making me frou.
eta: Jilli--thanks, and yay!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, damn. This is just gorgeous. And I have the fabric, even. I just don't have the shape anymore.

I am all for this trend, go figure. I'm highly entertained by the notion of you in fluffy skirts and wide cincher belts, but still able to kill people with your pinky.

Unless you've actually turned into a beach ball (and I think Hec would have told us), you do so have the shape for that skirt.

A couple weeks ago I was hauling my krav gym bag into the centre, with the headgear attached to the outside, and wearing the black fluffy skirt and granny boots. One of the students looked at me and said "I like the combination." All I could think was "Oh, wouldn't my mother be proud?"
I haven't worn the cincher out with that skirt, but I have worn it with an ankle length forest green broomstick skirt and a light sweater with a keyhole neckline. I liked it.

Oo, lovely stuff, Jilli.
And JZ, don't worry, you'll have the figure again one day. For now, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Not a beach ball, but I'm massively bustier than I used to be and my waist has kind of disappeared; anything with a well-defined waist looks kind of bunchy and wrong. Right now I'm wearing an empire-waist dress with a deep V neckline, and I look about 8000% better than I did yesterday in a fitted-waist skirt that still fits but no longer flatters, not even a little.
So, you know, if you should run across any Gothic Regency dresses, I might be inclined to give them a look.
eta: I'm trying not to flip out too much about the body changes; it's just weird to have all these clothes that still fit but suddenly just look wrong, and all this stuff that used to look like ass on me and is suddenly exactly right. The morphing body, she is odd.

Not a beach ball. A fertility statue? Yes. Pornstar boobies? Yes. She went from between B-C cup, to Double D. She pokes at them a lot in amazement.
