Do you know how it is when you know the post wil come to you today with a
packet of things you have longed for a long time?
I have it like that today. Awaiting a large packet with cotton laces from a
scottish lace factory. I have ordered home for more than 700 pounds sterling
and i cant get much made today.
And then the work you have to do is so tedious and uninterresting. Marking
in the rows for crinoline steel in a hoop.
This time i want to try and make the hoop with padded panels along the top
bones, in order to keep the tension of the side extensions nice and smooth
for the skirts.
I have looked very close after a fashion print of Galleries des Modes where
a millinery lady is delivering goods, amungst other things a hoop wich she
carries under her arms. Also the small hoop from V&A has padding, so i guess
its ok to do it.
When i get my laces, i think i am going to explode of excitement.
