These are amazing, I love them! May I ask what pattern you used?

I'm gonna have to go home and take a picture of the pattern. I will try to remember to do that. And thanks!

I made this dress a few weeks ago but finally had occasion to wear it. Unfortunately the neckline turned out rather low (and I didn't extend the bodice any and the waist line sits above my waist), so I had to sit upright all the time so it didn't gape and my lingerie peep through! Which you kind of can see.

You look divine! :eusa_clap

Josephine, it's lovely! I have that pattern, but haven't made it. It's always inspiring to see them made up. I think mine will have to wait until it warms up again, though.

My latest production: my wedding dress! It was made from this pattern, but I added the bow at the back

Now I just have to keep it in a safe place for 10 months and hope my boyfriend doesn't see it!

Taking time out here to say... that is lovely. I love simple wedding dresses like that. I imagine it's going to save you and your boyfriend a tonne of headache down the road, too! Good going.

Returning to the other forums now!

So lovely Josephine! You look regal and gorgeous!

Just dive in. You should see my early zippers...

On second thought, no you shouldn't lol

I am not the queen of zippers either and I have to put in a side one in the next couple of days. OY! I have found that basting it in place makes it 1000% better. I'm a pinner, not a baster (I never baste anything they say to the pattern), but it sure helps the zipper process.

I just sold the original pattern of this not to long ago on ebay.

Thanks all!

This one is my latest. I have been in the most absurdly pink mood lately! I look awful in pink, so I'm just going to have to keep it to underthings.

Next i need to make a chemise so I can actually wear this. I've been procrastinating because chemises are terribly boring. Le sigh!

BV - Lauren recommended the Truly Victorian patterns, and she's absolutely right. They're wonderful!

 

[Lady Day]

That is beautiful! Most of the handmade corsets/cinchers I have seen are just wonkyly constructed, but wow, this is so nice! Can you turn it over so I can take a gander at the inside construction?

[ShortClara]

That is just superb! I'm dumbstruck - bravo!!

PS Ditto what Lady Day said, the other side, please?

Beautiful! I am in the process of mocking up a corset using 3 patterns over laying each other. (I know, what was I thinking) I can only hope that mine turnes out half as nicely as yours!

 

[Miss Sis]

Betty Valentine, that corset is amazing!!!! Excellent job! Size wise, did you go down much? If I go by my measurements I am a commercial size 14 or something silly but end up taking in about 3 or 4 inches off each side seam!

Next year I will be making Victorian stuff so the pattern recommendation is helpful. A whole lot of us are going to have a corset making session. My friends do tudor re-enactment so are more used to corset making than me.

The Homecoming Outfit

This is the first thing I have made that I think is worthy of showing. This is the sweater and hat the baby will come home in. This is also the first garment I knit and had to piece together. I learned how to knit on double point needles for the hat. I am pretty darn proud, I am a perfectionist, and I can't find much to pick at

We don't know the gender, but my husband helped pick out the yarn. There is a lot of pink, but in person, the colors look more like a beautiful sunrise. The camera had a real hard time with the colors.

 

[KittyT]

Beautiful! We'll all want to see pictures of it being modeled, once that time comes.

 

[pennycarrol]

Wow!! Congratulations, a little baby that's wonderful!!! The sweater and hat are beautiful!! I love the color!! I can't knit, I'm too impatient!! How many days did it take to make it???
