Interesting... but I wonder how well they stay straight, when the hand moves
and the scissors jiggle, as they naturally are wont to do. And most lasers
offer a point, not a line to follow, at least on textiles (having just proven
that while I play with my kitten with the new laser pointer
My biggest problem is setting the fabric out straight to begin with,
especially with the fine stuff. It wiggles. Don't think a laser pointer
would help that :-(

high walked up and down the lunch line and did the kneel
test (skirt had to touch the ground when the wearer was kneeling) on
any girl whose skirt seemed a
Also, there are the questions of where in the world was the woman in
question, and how old was she? I mean, how many of us are wearing this year's
fashions?

I have information on these, because I have a pair! There is a website
called Think Geek that has them. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/a823/ I
had to have a pair because I am also the President of the Armed Costumers
Guild, and I could not resist scissors with a laser sight! They are

It's been a decade since I lived there, but I'm thinking 90 minutes

The days at Costume-Con are long.

to visit longer:) Thanks!

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

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.

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.
