I ended up taking a corsolette pattern from a Vogue Belville Sasson strapless dress as it finished at the hips instead of at the waist. I think I got the idea from sombody else on the internet. I like how you've used a bra for support; more bust support is something I wish I had done in mine.<br /><br />-aisling<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-56487955723893943002012-10-21T11:48:13.005-07:002012-10-21T11:48:13.005-07:00Overheard Rant #5:
"Something is happening i...Overheard Rant #5:<br /><br />"Something is happening in that bunker with the Bernina."<br />"Hold it, everything she creates is a weapon of lass destruction."<br />"But this ball gown is like bringing a battleship to a knife fight."<br />"To review, we are talking about Laura Mae."<br />"Her trousseau is her arsenal."<br />[scoff] "Her waistline a weapon. She nips waist to lay waste."<br />"And in hand-stitch to hand-stitch combat this one takes no prisoners."<br />"Our battle of the bulges can kindly be termed unending, meanwhile, contrary to obligatory public protests, hers is non-existent."<br />"Do you suppose she underlines in trampoline fabric?"<br />"No, I think she only inhales on days of photo shoots."<br />"And what about the 'event' and all those tax paying California women attending?"<br />"To the first question, the Chronicle's Society Page will surely have a feature focus. As to half the population of the Golden State, minus one, it's a small wonder Governor Brown and all the living former governors don't do a PSA re: Laura Mae."<br />"It surely couldn't be the first ladies of California; they want to retain the title 'ladies'."<br />"Mmmm hmmmm. Social upheaval as a means of second look retrieval."<br />"And this dress has everything necessary to clear cut the competition."<br />"Oh ya. Wearin' a different kind of hoodie, she'll be cloaked and going stealth. Not her usual display of shoulders and shins."<br />"Yes, but me thinks she'll be returning from this 'theater of war' with an unexpected prize in tow."<br />[gasp] "You mean, a gent???"<br />"A real live catch. I feel like a Midwest Medium."<br />"Please, you're an extra-large. Now does she know any of this?"<br />"Hardly. Laura Mae is the LAST person to listen to what she needs to hear, she won't be told what's good for her, and she refuses to consider options unless they've originated in her cranium."<br />"So are you wasting your breath?"<br />"Not at all. I'm 3 parts martyr, 1 part saint, putting out into the universe what no one else dares to where this one is concerned."<br />"You're like the human form of cod liver oil, and a Wallenda, combined."<br />"Precisely. Laura Mae will not appreciate my predictive derring-do at present, but in time she just might."<br />"Even if she never says so?"<br />"To us, she speaks as she twirls."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Testosteronenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-20871804510055743002012-10-21T08:53:24.323-07:002012-10-21T08:53:24.323-07:00It's really looking great!
