There it is, trying the new kirtle on for the first time. W00t. Look at the shelf!

I feel rather happy about this photo actually. Despite being unboned the support it gives is pretty ok. The armscye is also very large, so it is not restrictive in any way at all - this is a good thing.

A bit of the long-waistedness will disappear once I get the skirt overcast to the bottom of the bodice. I will get to work assembling the skirt on Saturday probably.

Oh, looking at the photo you can see some red thread - that's the basting stitches that keeps the lining on the inside. I'll be slipstitching that into place all around, except for the waistline, which will wait for skirt-mounting.

There are a couple of photos in the gallery showing the shell mounted to interlining, the eyeleys marked out by pins and then two others of me wearing the bodice.

Wow! I didn't think you had that much boobage. I'm impressed.

Er - I have to confess that when the picture appeared my brain went "look at those paps". It is amazing the difference the right underpining makes to people.

I also looked at the other pictures and the back view one does look a smidge too long - but also, you haven't got the weight of the skirt attached to it as yet and that might loose you a bit of that extra bodice length.

Heh, I know, I can't wait to see how the whole thing turns out! I think I look hot in this photo though - something I rarely find. Then again, my head's been cut off :O

I might possibly do something about the length in back, but I did also fiddle a bit with the top I was wearing which might account for some wierdness. Also, I laced myself into it, which was a bit of a struggle. I can physically reach the lacing in the sides though - which is not true with the placement of the lacing on the big blue Tudor court gown
