Edwardian Update

After spending the past few days away from home, I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed (and sleeping. Woke up at 5:30 this morning and drove four hours across the state to get to work ... after sleeping fitfully for five hours) ... and working on my undergarments.

I inter-library loaned a number of books on dressmaking. I'm still having a devil of a time trying to figure out lap seams. This is the only reason I haven't done any work on the corset since Monday. Since the books won't arrive until Monday, at the earliest, I'll start cutting out the pattern pieces for my Edwardian petticoat combination.

Now to find a store that sells nainsook, cambric, or lawn...

Update: DenverFabrics.com has the most delightful selection of 100% cotton lawn.
