frualeydisI was really exhausted when I came home from the university and I really just wanted to lie in bed and for my legs to stop hurting so much. Things got a little better after dinner and a bath and when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
herzeloyde came over I felt ready for a little quality time with the Bennett family. I haven't spent any time watching P&P for at least four months now.
This inspired me to try on my empire stays, which still fit, though they can now be laced edge to edge. I may have to move the holes where the straps are tied to the front, but that's about it.
Then I got inspired to do some small things I never got around to when I made the outfit, namely put ribbon loops in the petticoat, to thread the strings that are tied in the back through and making holes in the pocket for the busk on the stays so that the busk can be tied in place so it won't creep upwards when I sit down. And finally I moved the buttons that close the dress, since I am smaller now and I want it to fit at least reasonably tight in the bodice.
I also finished a hand sewn linen hose for Maja.
