Patrick Hand Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I would just once like to see you dressed for a ball! Not Pyrate.... but I always thought doing a semi-Napolinic kinda"Death Head Husser"... and learning how to waltz would be kinda fun.....
callenish gunner Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 well with all the prancing nancy's in the pub we certainly know where to get the chum for to draw in the sharks .........but the lead poisoning from all that whitewash they are painting themselves up would be rotting their brains ...i'm sure would kill them first

Jacky Tar Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Aye, nice garb Callenish and Silkie. Callenish, do ye prefer slops t' breeches?
callenish gunner Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 they both have their place but the slops are so comfortable when it's hot out ....you have room for air to circulate
Red Cat Jenny Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Great pics! and great shoes on both! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

callenish gunner Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 i was amiss when i forgot to post these shots of mistress silkie hopefully she shall pardon my error
Black Syren Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Callenish thanks for sharing your pictures with us. It looks like so much fun, and Silkie..The last two pictures..Stunning lass, simply stunning. *Now im jealous...I never have fun like that* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Capt. Sterling Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Ah Mistress Silkie, I see you are to be our green girl... just lovely Lady!

Cheeky Actress Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Okay...this is my first attempt on making this type of period stays. I used the corset/stay generator and then modified the length/cut for late 17th century. The stays are made out of wool, lined with linen and finished with twill. I self-hemmed using the same wool. Making your own bias tape is not hard and it looks so much better! The corset is fully boned (full cane) with a wooden busk in the middle. As for the eyelets (working on this)...they will all be covered with embroidery thread to match. Member of "The Forsaken"
Black Syren Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Cheeky that is wonderful! I love the color and never even thought of covering the grommet holes as you are doing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Cheeky Actress Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Yes...(hmmm) the use of grommets are NOT correct, of course...but they really do the job when going through several thick layers of wool. Also, they seem to hold up much better when lacing, I've had some 'hiccups' when just covering awl holes. They 'blow through' after time. Sorry no shot of me in them (yet). Hubby wasn't home when I took the shot. Member of "The Forsaken"
Bully MacGraw Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Mistress Lilly, DO forgive my boldness, but seeing an image of your stays, creates an image of you in your stays! I do apologize for my boldness! Those destined to hang, shall not fear drowning
Capt. Sterling Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Yes...(hmmm) the use of grommets are NOT correct, of course...but they really do the job when going through several thick layers of wool.

Hubby wasn't home when I took the shot. Ack NO they don't... grommets break the threads in the fabric,,, making it much weaker at that stress point... proper eyelets should NOT break the threads at all... thus a much better and stronger eyelet... and a WHOLE lot easier to make then punching holes, setting grommets and then embroidering over them... remind me to teach you how next event...

Silkie McDonough Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Tried something new with the last eyelets I did, I used little brass rings and stitched them into the blanket stitch. They sew up rather neatly, you can put them on the inside or the outside and the results are a nearly perfect eyelet every time. I think it may be the best of both worlds. So far so good. I'll let you know.
Capt. Sterling Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Okay just so all you ladies know.. metal eyelets are not pc...

Silkie McDonough Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 eye ..errrr, aye, we know. The ones on my stays are sewn without reinforcement and they are stretching out of shape. Thought the brass rings would give the needed reinforcement but not cut the threads ...hmmm ...wonder how well plastic rings would work ...if they make them that small.
Cheeky Actress Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Yes, of course Captain and we did state that grommets are NOT PC. With all do respect, this was my first run of a hand-drafted period stays. I do plan to make another set...something a bit more..well, better. However, these will be used for my indentured servant/diver persona. I will be doing a lot of 'physical' work in these; therefore,...I want to make sure I don't have a 'wardrobe malfunction’ while I’m dashing about. This pair of stays will be covered and will not be seen from the back. Member of "The Forsaken"
