I didn't write that, but since they were so cheap I decided it would be the best to order reeds from Grannd garb, simple to do and you can use Paypal to pay. And I could order some aiglets at the same time. Well, today, just before 8 am someone rang the door bell. I thought that was odd and was very surprised when this guy handed over a package from Grannd. Packages from Denverfabrics always come with the regular mail so I thought it would be like that this time too.
anyway, I was a little doubtful when someone replied to my previous reeds post and said that one coil was enough to bone two corsets. For all I knew she could be much thinner and shorter than me. I even considered buying two coils to be on the safe side. But that was not necessary. I can probably get two fully boned corsets out of this, if not more.
That is good since I plan to do both a new effigy corset and a new 18th century corset. But not now, I have the tunicella to work on and a flounced petticoat.

I'm so glad it arrived so promptly! I look forward to see how it works out for you. I plan to start a trial version of the effigy corest myself as soon as I'm settled down, and I've been thinking about reeds as well.

Yes, you were right, my humble apologies for my doubts.
