This actully happened o me early in my heckered career in the SCA. First of all... I have NEVER been of a size that inspire men to toss me around. So i am at my first dance at coronaion and we are dancing "the official bransle" (also known in the ommon language as " Toss the Duchess" my dance parttner, a strapping black bearded man of limitless humor , is talking me through it as i dance sote unseen .[oh yes i am wearing full elizabeathan.] James directed me to turn , face him and bend my knees. By the time i realized what caame next ( while he dug his fingerd into the bottom of my stays) and was propelled skyward , shrieking,it was al over but the laughter. The stays held thouh an nevr shifted, my virtue intact. -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 9:53:24 pm To: "Historical Costume" <h-cost...@indra.com> From: "Ann Catelli" <elvestoor...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Dressing a Victorian Lady
I saw the video--very funny presentation! At one point, the man puts his hands into the corsets & Lifts the woman off her feet. The corsets, naturally, stay perfectly intact. lol Ann in CT --- On Wed, 7/20/11, Astrida Schaeffer <astr...@schaefferarts.com> wrote: > I have a friend who did a bodice > ripper presentation at a costume con-- IIRC she ended up > getting dragged offstage via the intact and unaffected > corset by the frustrated would-be ripper... _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
