Re: [h-cost] 1913 stays
I'm going to take the plunge and make this Teens corset--well, have it made. It should be an interesting experience for both of us, the corsetier and me. A learning experience! I'll feel much better about making and wearing the dress--the one I first fell in love with and possibly more--with the proper undergarments (If only I were as thin as the fashion plates!).

Re: [h-cost] 1913 stays
Maggie, Few people _are_ as thin as the fashion plates. Heck, compare yourself (or anybody else!) to modern fashion illustrations. Nobody on earth has legs that long (and I am long-legged)!! nobody. Corsets aren't all that difficult to make, but you do need a fitting buddy with educated hands to pin-fit them. If you have that, it's worth the effort (I have made my own, 1835 - 1900). Corsetiers are expensive. Best of luck! It's worth it for that lovely gown. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Aug 22, 2009, at 4:06 PM, Maggie wrote: I'm going to take the plunge and make this Teens corset--well, have it made.

Re: [h-cost] 1913 stays
Oh I know nobody really looks like that, but one can wish :-) Anyway, the cost is being offset by the fact that the corsetier *is* a friend, who happens to make corsets Since she's never done this period either, it will be a learning experience for both of us, so I'm only paying for materials. If I had to do it myself, it would never be more than just a good idea. Trust me.

Re: [h-cost] 1913 stays
You'd have to ask Lara, who owns the collection, but from what she shows, they do seem to have lasted through the decade, just fine. Then when you go to the Twenties on the next page, you do start to see some changes. The waist comes down, and the length comes up, elastic comes in, and the whole thing starts to turn into a girdle. It's fascinating to watch the changes through the decades, like a flip book! One piece foundation garments have never entirely disappeared, but they're no longer the principal undergarment (thank god!)

MaggiRos, Hi, here are a few numbersof patterns you could use as a base.Simplicity 4055, Butterick 6630 and 4890. The net and lace over gown/top looks like a triangle shawl shape with the front ends cut off level with the high waist, from what I see. I did not watch the show so I don't know what the total gown looks like. The Gown on the left looks a bit like it.

Heh, no, of course it would not, but to the Italians it matches exactly what they want to convey. ;) Much like Che 'ce does not translate in English to what it means for them. Basically, they are saying 'Sup, it is a shorten version of Che cosa fa - loosely ... what is going on. And then it goes a bit further as it applies to the situation and region you are in.

I remember thinking when I watched it last year that it reminded me of one in (I think) one of Janet Arnold's books. Will check tomorrow if I remember.
