WILFTP: Hobbit Bodice

This is part of my Hobbit/ren faire costume, shown on the peasants dress. The only thing I didn't make was the gray over skirt.

*That even napkins and old drapes make great fabric!
*Lining is a Bee-otch
*That one must never judge a costume before it's finished.
*That even when making a bodice, it's a good idea to add some bones.



WIHLFTP: Peasant's Shift

* How to put elastic in the casings and how much of a...well...bitca that is.
* How to hem a dress WELL
* That just because you're size 16 doesn't mean the size 16 - 18 will look good on you. Or when you hold it up, much to the horror of the whole house.
