Antique store finds!
Jul. 4th, 2013 02:35 pmHappy Independence Day!! My parents and I are celebrating right now with our usual tradition of watching 1776. And tonight we're going to go to Lake Union and watch fireworks! I hope everyone else is having a great day, too!
For those of you attending CosCol, does anyone know when people are planning on wearing Redingotes/Riding Habits? I feel like I keep hearing different times being discussed.
We had our first rehearsal in the theatre on Tuesday night, and yesterday, my parents and I explored the Olympic peninsula. In a little antique shop up in Port Townsend, I bought a 1950s (I think?) corset, made by Bon Ton. Can anyone else can better help me date it? It's an underbust, and comes down over the hips and has small elastic panels/gussets under the bust on each side and on each hip. It's boned with steel, and has a corset busk closure in the front. I also bought two pewter-type mugs.
Tomorrow, my parents head back to CA, and we have our first tech rehearsal for Gondoliers!
And on the sewing front, this not having time to sew thing is driving me crazy with CosCol coming closer and closer! I need a gala gown!
