Weird dreams. A male vampire who lives as a woman for a hundred years, among other things. And I haven't even been reading my P.N. Elrod books recently! But got up and made lunch for Wonderful Husband so he had time to have breakfast and am doing laundry. Yay for productiveness. Have also started working on the futon's contents, mainly by working on them to finish 'em.

Being on historical costuming and SCA mailing lists is bad for me. Very bad. Because unfortunately things like boning and hooping steel cost money, so I have to wait until income increases to get 'em. And this is actually relevant to anime costuming as well because three of the costumes I want to make (Chii, Freya, and Sophia) are historically based. Thinking of which, [livejournal.com profile] hoshikage, where's that site that you used to make the pocket hoops?

It's not a website, but I strongly recommend the book "Corsets and Crinolines." I got the pattern for my pocket hoops there.

Have you tried the Greenberg & Hammer website for hooping and boning? They're pretty good -- $12.95 for 12 yards of hooping steel. I think they're just www.greenberg&hammer.com.

I used the free pattern diagram at http://www.marquise.de/en/1700/howto/paniers.shtml - do beware though as the bottom part tends to match up a bit weirdly with the rest. It's not critical, as no one will see it or anything, but just so you know.
