TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I just got the photos of my new bodice and shirt made by Becky Cristler. I liked 'em so much, I had to come show 'em off! These will be paired with black boots and black breeches. I told Becky I was getting cold out on the ship wearing a dress, so she made the bodice out of suede and lined it with a heavy cloth for warmth. There are also upper arm guantlets in matching black that are not shown in this photo. For anyone interested, Becky does beautiful, high quality work, custom tailored to your measurements at an excellent price. Her email is sunset_red7@yahoo.com Please tell her Claire of Tales of the Seven Seas sent you! My shirt and bodice combo was $50, but the red cloth of the shirt was hard to find at this time of year and was more expensive than she had anticipated ($19.98 for two yards) so if you ordered one the price would be a bit different depending upon the material. I'll post a photo in this and the fancy brocade dress that I posted earlier when they arrive. Arrrrrrrrrrr!! I be a stylin' wench now!! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLY BONES Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I trust I won't be overstepping the bounds of propriety when I say "HUBBA HUBBA" Bill Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endkaos Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 You look beautiful. Becky did a wonderful job and at a great price.

Thanks for the website info. ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Thanks! Just email Becky and she will tell you how to measure yourself. If I remember correctly, she needs around the ribs underneath your bust and waist to floor measurements. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrydeath Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Quill, I love the ones in blue or green. I can't wait to see more of her dresses.. Are the chemises and dresses sewn together? or seperate, and what kind of boning does she use? If you could let me know I would appreciate it. *looks over her shoulder at Scupper, makes sure he uses the ten foot pole.. wink!* Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.

Hellava Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Great outfits! Becky is amazing. Her outfits are made to last through numerous wearings and washings. They'll look and wear great for many years. Nice job on her website site. The Gates of Hell are flung open..... from the firey mist steps forth....The Legend....

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Merrydeath, the chemise is a separate undergown, which make it nice because you can wash it frequently and change colors of the chemise to get a whole new look. With my black skirt/bodice I have a white chemise for when I need to be historically accurate, a red chemise for most of my piratical activities and Lucky Penny donated a green chemise to our loaner gear that I'll be using in the St Patrick's Day Parade. I'll see if she's got other photos around and will ask about what type of boning she uses. I know it's metal, but I'll find out more. It's pretty stiff, but not so much so that you can't sit down. LOL after a long car ride, I usually have to bend mine straight again! I'll also ask if she can do them with heavier-grade boning and report back! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Nope... that's actually not what she needs for the bodice measurement because the bust isn't covered by the bodice, just gets one heck of a lift from it, LOL! I've got an email in to Becky and should have an answer shortly. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Here is Becky's answer: "Hi there, i have done dresses with metal but it rusts and breaks threw the fabric in about a year of use. so I perfer the light plastic boning. but have them email me and I will see what I can do." -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
