Eva's journal

It's a bit like the folk costumes for the south-west of Scania -- if you make and wear them the way they should be, they make you look like a little barrel. Which I suppose was an ideal in older times, not so much with the waist and the boobies. Needless to say, a lot of people getting those costumes tend to lower the wastline drastically, and use more lightweight wool for the skirt part, in order to look more appealing to modern eyes. I considered that too, at first, but after a while I sort of got used to the look, and now I fully intend to look like a proper barrel. When I finally get to make the costume.
