I was late to work today (not that I have an official starting time) because I wanted to try a new way of putting up my hair. I made two narrow braids at the temples and twisted the rest of the hair into a high bun. I then looped the narrow braids under my ears and wound them around the bun. It looked very 1840s, but not very attractive so I had to redo it into a normal braided bun in the neck. Sigh.
I tried on the bodice for my new 16th century kirtle on saturday evening. It might well be the sexiest garment I've ever made. I look hot! When it's finished I would like to wear it every day, except that it's a little too eccentric style even for my job and that I would stop traffic in it. The skirt is currently hanging so that the lining and outer fabric won't stretch differently when it's finished, but in a week or so the kirtle should be done and I can show you pictures.
Oh, and I'm lazy and can't be bothered to start working right now. Bleh.
