Re: [h-cost] hair work
Thanks--I already ordered it and since our holiday didn't happen because of me working, felt I didn't mind the splurge. Being over 50, I tend to work better with an actual book than by computer screen, and I don't have a tablet computer or a smaller device either. (Also, I tend to write about my projects in the margins of my books at times). So I don't mind having the book and LAcis had it for the lowest price. I want to ahve a piece of work done by Costume con in late April, but I have so many other projects PLUS I am the Program Director for hte con, so you can imagine that I am plenty busy witih that. I'll let you all know how it's going.

I've been buying everything I can find on hair work. I found this book as a free download on Google Books. It's not a crystal clear copy but you could see if it's what you want.

Re: [h-cost] question on corset patterns
I have made the TV 110 corset pattern and found it to be easy to put together and gives a good fit. I have a large bust and the adjustments that they include in the pattern worked well for me. I echo all of the advice to make a muslin to ensure fit, and to use lacing strips instead of pinning at the closure. Another thing that helped me was to use masking tape to tape down the bones on the corset during the fitting. I have used cable ties this way, and it helps to save a little time, while still allowing for a good fit. Glynnis From: lotsofteap...@charter.net To: h-cost...@indra.com Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 16:02:49 -0600 Subject: [h-cost] question on corset patterns I am planning on making a bodice and dress from Truly Victorian's line (TV490 Ball Gown Bodice TV298 Umbrella Skirt, both from 1892). But, of course before that, I need a corset! I went to GBACG Pattern Review, and found nothing on TV's corset, but lots of great reviews on Laughing Moon's Dore corset. My usual era is Elizabethan, so if I wear a corset, it is of a very different construction. I would consider myself an intermediate sewer. Question: Do you prefer TV or LM corset, especially for a first-time Victorian sewer?
