My main goal is to complete one full set of historical undergarments from each of at least two time periods in one year. Should be doable, yes? Luckily for me, A Damsel in This Dress just posted a fantastic overview of period-correct undergarments from Medieval through Edwardian, and a guide to wearing them properly. I would definitely recommend checking it out, especially if you are also interested in making 2014 a Year of Foundations!
I'm going to be making a bunch of foundation garments this coming year, as well. I have absolutely NO shifts, I need to make a bunch of new stays, and all of my petticoats need to be replaced. o.o Definitely going to be making some undies!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Care to join me in a sew-along? I'll do a sign-up post soon with a more detailed description of what this challenge will entail for me, and what it can be for others. It'll be so helpful to have others working on similar projects alongside me!
DeleteSuch a good idea...I've been dreading re-doing my stays but things really are at a standstill until I do. Seeing posts like this makes for a great kick in the backside, so thank you!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I've been needing a good kick in the backside myself. :p
DeleteGood for you! I can't wait to see what you come up with! Anneliese :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Is this something that others (like me) can join?
Definitely! Feel free to add the icon to your blog, and I'll start a list of participants! :D
DeleteCount me in! This is just what I need to jump start my historical wardrobe!
