Blouse troubles
My 0910 blouse for the 1912 Project is making me nuts!!!! I just can't seem to get it to fit any where close to right across the shoulders. I may just have to take it all apart AGAIN and resew it or try and lay a regular pattern that fits over it and see if I can figure out what the problem is. I did order a corset, it is not exactly the correct type of this period but I have to have something to hold up my bosom. The 1912 corsets were under bust types and if you are busty that just won't work or at least I can't figure out how to make them work. The one I got is bad enough, it is very low cut, more like a shelf bra. I can understand why they ladies wore corset covers and all the other undergarments they wore. I am going to have to look up on line to figure out what order they go on. I don't know who I am going to get to cinch me into this silly corset, that alone should be funny. I told Max we need to have a canopy bed so I could hang on to it like Scarlett O'Hara did when Mammy cinched h
er up. I will give a report on this big adventure when I get enough nerve up to give it a try. Well, I'll write some more later when I get this blouse figured out.
