Ugh

So I finished the 16th c corset (yea!) but I need REALLY long laces to lace into the thing by myself. :-) So I'm not sure about the red and gold 1560's gown. I also seriously need to laundry so...tomorrow will be interesting. I need to get home after work, do laundry, pack, and then head down. Luckily, there won't be nearly the amount of rush hour traffic by then. The bad thing is that I'll get to my Aunt & Uncle's really late.

:-) I've done back lacing before by myself. The problem with the corset is that a)it's a corset so it's meant to squish me in a lot and b)it's sidelacing which requires more lacing than something that is just the front or the back (because you have two sides to lace.
I managed to get it on last night and it looks lovely. I need to bring a tapestry needle to really lace myself in though. It's okay, it works.
