I vote x-ray waist cincher! I've been dying to see that in person.

If I can fit into it, I'm likely to be in the same red dress as last year. Hmm. Need to try that on.

Assuming I bellydance, though, I have to pick a song and figure out the accompanying outfit.

Also, man do I want a new corset. Not sure there's time to even think about it though.

YES please on bellydance!!!!

I still need to corset shop. The thing is, what do I do about nekkid boobie tops? I do not like to show nekkid boobie tops. How do I best cover with corset use?

Okay, I posted in Press. Hope it's okay.

That looks perfect, java. I'm sorry - I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.

Do you want to shop at Stormy Leather or Mrs. S on Sunday? Both places have chemises/undershirts.

Lace-trimmed camis or fancy tank tops. Also peasant tops look kick ass under corsets.

(All or part of this answer will surely be a cross-post.)

I'll probably wear the dress juliana passed on to me a few months ago, mostly because it packs up real small (though it's also very very pretty; she also passed along a sumptuous full rustly skirt and silvery top that I'd love to wear instead or as well, but I really don't want to pack enough stuff to have to check in baggage unless I absolutely have to).

juliana, I'm still holding off on paying up for my share of Prom per your instructions--should I just give you the money in person sometime this weekend?

Juliana, you did NOT make me feel uncomfortable, and with all of the organizing you've been doing, I'm happy to help out. I am just sometimes not the greatest with organizing groups - I am too lone wolf-ish. ;) But I've already received emails about Underworld, so I am excited!!

And about corset shopping on my birthday, a definite possibility. If not Sunday, I will make a trek to SF during the week.

Oh, that dress looks HOT on you, JZ. And yes, this weekend is fine. If I decide to ship Fernet, do you want to pack in the big skirt & top?

What are the corset shopping expedition possibilities in Seattle, I wonder? Bankbreaking?

Yep. Any lace-trimmed cami will work. Of course, I tend to wear Victorian-esque blouses, because I have Issues about my upper arms.

JZ, wear that dress!
