Re: [h-cost] Increasing bra sizes (long)

I'm 17, and wear a 32B. Gosh darn it, too, I'm still growing up in that quadrant, too. It was about impossible to find a normal, soft cup non underwire not pushup bra in a non psycodelic color at our JC Pennies - and I had even looked some styles up online at the website and they didn't carry it

Re: [h-cost] Stuff of interest in Seattle?

I'm a Localite - not in Seattle itself, but across the water in a lovely little town named Poulsbo. If you'd like to live near Seattle but not *in* King County (which is...half city), I put forward the option of living in Kitsap. It's cheaper, but I'm only an hour's commute away from Seattle.

RE: [h-cost] Movies and ancient costume

Yeah, my pastor gave a sermon relating to this subject several weeks before Christmas. In the Greek, the word that is usually translated 'inn' in Luke is the same word used for the 'upper room' or 'guest room' in the Last Supper. Thinking about it, it makes me feel sorry for Mary - stuck in a

[h-cost] Even Weave Fabric

My mother has requested even weave fabric for Hardanger Embroidery (a Norwegian form of drawn thread work and counted thread white work embroidery). I haven’t been able to locate any besides the tremendously overpriced stuff at a local Scandinavian shop. This isn’t the cross stitch stuff, but is

RE: [h-cost] OT: Checking in from the Pacific NorthWET (and Windy)

We had a large rotten maple tree fall on a row boat owned by my cousin, and our power was out for about 30 minutes. But the tree is going to be a huge mess to clean up. We stayed up for hours watching the light show of transformers - and were very thankful that ours is on the ground and we live on

RE: [h-cost] OT: Checking in from the Pacific NorthWET (and Windy)

Would that have been 1990? Because I was 3 months old during that storm (can you believe it!) and we moved out of the house we were renting for a week to my Grandmother's - we were loosing 5 degrees an hour inside and pack up when the cat's water froze. INSIDE. My grandparents had a stove that the

[h-cost] (no subject)

I’m gearing up to make a new dress, and was wondering if anybody on here has made up the 1878 dress from Janet Arnold’s Pattern of Fashion 2. (ha – rhetorical question – I’m sure somebody has!) I’m got a general idea of what I want out of the dress, and this seems to be closest to what I want.

RE: [h-cost] What's your dressmakers dummy wearing?

Matilda (I love naming my forms!) was wearing my mom's bunad (Norwegian National costume, but she's naked *grin* at the moment. Coming up soon, though, is a burgundy and black natural form gown for Christmas! Quia Christus perpetuo regnat, Elisabeth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

RE: [h-cost] hair taping

I do hair taping just as a modern type hair do, and have found that I either need to do it when it's wet, or when I've got a bunch of small-ish claw clips to anchor the hair as I tape it. It's gotten easier and easier as my hair has grown - a twist of hair reaches from behind one ear over to the

RE: [h-cost] Hair

My favorite is Suave Freeze Finish Hair Spray. (Professionals Freeze Hold Finishing Non-Aerosol Hair Spray) It leaves the hair very, very secure, but not overly crunch and it still looks natural! We got a whole bunch of sample bottles a long time ago, and they've lasted well. One bottle got stuck

RE: [h-cost] Catherine's waist measure

Ditto that. I've measured quite a few people, mostly kids, and the smallest girl I have ever measured was a 19 waist - she was a stick thin girl of about 10. And very cut, if I may say so myself. :-) But I reassert - she was really, really thin. My sister Steph is thin, and her waist is 21. Quia

RE: [h-cost] iron corset

There's a picture of one here...but I don't think it was actually a corset - a shop sign, perhaps. g http://dept.kent.edu/museum/costume/bonc/4subjectsearch/lingerie/lingerie18t h/lingerie18.html Quia Christus perpetuo regnat, Elisabeth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
