Blue for the Daughter

I finished the corset yesteday morning shortly after 7am, was laced into it and went to work. Unsurprisingly, it was very comfortable. Equally unsurprisingly, I was asked how welll I could breather quite a bit. Just wore a red scoop necked knit top underneath it, which was a nice contrast with the blue and my black skirt with ruffles down the back. Laced it tighter at the end of the day to go out and nearly closed the back lacing. Might end up spiral lacing that to stay closed.

Might even end up unpicking all the bindings and making it smaller. I'm fairly sure I could close both sides and still be relatively comfortable.

Still, it's a pretty blue corset and I might even get around to making the dress to go over it one day. Next sewing project (as opposed to embroidery project) is my Daughter's Day dress. I still need to get the linen or calico for the chemise and I want white brocade for the vest cloak, but I have the metres of blue wool for the dress and even have the bodice partially done.

I just want to note that I wouldn't have even started either of these projects without all the help I got from thesane, because all I did was follow her instructions.

Am in the process of procrastinating on my homework, which really does need doing, by cleaning and tidying my room, which equally needs doing because it's about as messy as I can stand. I have almost finished dusting but have a ton of things to put away and a few books to catalogue, I'm fairly sure I have something to beta read and C and I are going to Kapiti Island tomorrow!
