The kirtle is finished

And I have pictures to prove it.
Especially sarahbellem should take notice of how little boning there is in it and use it to smack people who claim large women can't use cable ties in their corsets. _Especially_ if they say "real women", thereby implying that smaller women aren't real women.

My effigy is too big. I'm thinking about selling it.

Can you not bring it in? Or split the back to put in a back lacing?

I probably could, but I feel that it wouldn't be worth the trouble. I also need to take it in only in the waist, because my chest measurement hasn't gotten smaller. So then I can't just cut off some in the front and make new lacing holes, but have to take away shaped parts and that is complicated with all the boning.
What I _want_ to do is to find a source for reeds and make a new, totally hand sewn.
