Biggest rip-off ever!

This is apparently the new trendy thing, worn by "style icons" like Kate Moss and Gwen Stefani. A piece of silver plate with a cut out heart (I bet every SCAdian knows someone who can do that) and some ric-rac ribbon. For 105 £!!!

Where did they go?

I was planning to wear this outfit for the first time this weekend. Well, I goddam will! But my boobs will be hanging at my waist. (Since I'm 8 kilos lighter than when I made the dress it has NO breast support even if I let the sides overlap when lacing.) But the dress is too pretty not to be worn, I just hope my back won't complain; at least I will be wearing my effigy stays at the feast. The waist is large too, but okay, mainly because it's at my lowest rib and not at the actual waist. (It is actually at the waist and tummy/hips I've lost most.)
Of course I will take in the side seams and make it smaller later, but I won't have the time for that before the event. I've got two lectures and a small presentation to plan: one for saturday and two for monday.

Uff!

Tomorrow I will have to get up at 5.15 to travel over 100 kilometres to give a one hour presentation on medieval dress at a seminar on medieval design. So now I'm packing down my laptop and laying out my clothes so that I only need to get up, have breakfast, put on clothes and make-up and leave. I will be back in the afternoon.

At what time are you leaving tomorrow, armillary?
