This Belle Epoque gown I’m working on for a ball I have this weekend is what’s been keeping me busy the last couple weeks! #costuming #historicalcostume #fashion

CW: eye contact, clothing/sewing finished object pictures
The stays-inspired corset top is done!
It's made from an old pair of jeans, spray painted with sparkling blue fabric paint and bound with black bias tape.
I've used some paracord for lacing, but I think it isn't sparkly enough, and will probably look for something else in the stash.
Worn over a skirt and petticoat the tabs do something funny, but that was just to be decent while taking the pictures, if worn *below* the skirt they should do their jobs.
Of course it is quite wrinkly, since it's unboned (there are just zip ties on both sides of the eyelets), but I'd say it works quite well a) as a costumey fun thing done with things I already had home b) as a general idea that I've cut the right size of the pattern and can proceed with cutting the real thing (and then properly fit them according to the instructions).

After a bit of a hiatus spent on calligraphy I'm back to the corset top based on the shape of 18th century #stays and I'm at the stage when I have to set in 14 metal eyelets per side on the back, plus a still indefinite amount on the front.
I'm really happy I bought the big box of 500 grommets a few years ago :D
(I'm trying not to think about the similar amount of hand sewed eyelets I will have to make for the real thing :D )
