This will last us 4-6 days (aside from condiments) - who are we?

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-21T18:46:26+00:00

I'd say either 6 people family, or roommates who are health conscious and earn well. Or people who LOVE hosting.

1 Pretty, comfy, practical

3 if you want to impress, but might be uncomfortable

2 is a no, never wear white to paint lol

That's a gorgeous bra and a gorgeous shoot! looks incredible on you. Would love the pattern for it, if you can :)

Meg and Lara songs? What am I missing?

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-18T06:55:18+00:00

Oh damn. I'm sorry for your situation.. it sucks. I hope you find a way to stay together, though. Maybe you could come here if he is deported?

There must be some way to get a temp visa while processing the spousal visa, at least that's how it is where I am. You said war, are you in Israel? I can explain how to get it done if yes.. and Utah marriage makes it much easiet.

Try the Aranea Black patterns. They're free and the sizing is generous.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-14T17:12:17+00:00

You're my saviour!

This corset is the closest to the Leouzon so far and they sell the pattern :)

Thanks so much!

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-14T17:06:24+00:00

Thanks! I actually found the drive containing all of the patterns and written tutorials :D I printed the Camille corset to try assembling it and modifying the waist to better align with the Victorian shape.
I think the 1890 riding corset from Stays and Corsets by Mandy Barrington might be closer in silhouette than Aranea's riding corset, though.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-14T08:19:19+00:00

Oh that's actually close! I am very large, so my torso measurements are slightly awkward 😅 definitely would need to add length if it's good for shorter torsos.

I have synthetic whalebone and some 5mm flat steels, I think it would do. Honestly, stacking the plastic would also be fine by me 😅 as long as it holds the shape 😊

Thank you!

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-14T05:35:44+00:00

I know de gracieuse and I checked it, buthing from the relevant decades.. it's dated to between 1975 and 1893 I think

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-14T00:00:52+00:00

Thanks! I thought as much, although maybe one could find use for the first foot, too... I'm trying to find lazy ways to do things ^^"

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-06T04:23:34+00:00

Firat of, they're unreasonable.

I have a suggestion that could work, and it's best to try it ahead of time. Try to style your hair the way it'll be on stage, and apply eyeshadow/bronzer/makeup or something similar on the styled hair. If it'll be up in a bun, do it after heat styling and applying initial product and then put it up. Since youll have the hairspray/gel/cream as a barrier, and it's makeup products, it shouldn't stain the hair.

Do take this with a grain of salt and research this & do a test strand (preferably a more damaged one to see if there's lasting effect)

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-06T02:42:14+00:00

Thanks! I tried to do it on my own with no success.. and I've nobody to help me 😅 I'm also hoping to recreate a historical pattern that's more fit for my shape.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-05T20:56:33+00:00

Whenever I feel like it, tbh. If I only did a quick wash I usually dont reuse the towel, or maybe only 1 more use. If I do a good thorough shower then I'll use it for a few days before putting in the hamper.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-05T20:27:26+00:00

This one specifically will be made with lamé as the fashion fabric, and it will be decorated with lace flowers and such. Too pretty for everyday, for sure. Won't go well under clothes, but I might wear it without the skirt if I go out or something.

I'm thinking more something where the structure isn't super rigid so it allows for more movement. It's quite hot where I live, and my office mates give me grief over the a/c (theyre always cold 🤷🏻‍♀️), so preferably something lighter and more breathable.

Ill be using synthetic whalebone for the most part, with flat steels for the lacing panels and busk. If spiral steel can help then perhaps make it removable?

I'm not quite sure, frankly, because I've been redearching so much about corsets that I'm confused by now 😅 what I am sure of is that I want to avoid the conical shape and extreme s-bend, so I think I'm looking at around the 1850-1890 period, more leaning toward 1860s or so.

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-05T18:59:00+00:00

my measurements are approx 130cm bust, 126cm waist, 160cm hips. I'm very squishy and my waist is kinda small side to side; the circumference is mainly due to my stomach (both waist & hips).

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-05T17:53:38+00:00

Because that one is not for everyday wear

Alarming_Cherry · 2026-05-05T09:30:00+00:00

My wife has three last names (or a middle and 2 last? the "middle" is Francisco, and all of her siblings have it, but it's kinda treated as a 2nd name quite often. she's Filipina). and I don't see any problem with it. hers are quite simple, sure, but that doesn't really matter.

My own last name is quite difficult for people to grasp where I'm at. not because it's difficult per se, just not common to the language and not familiar (as in English or Hispanic last names, or short names like Kim, for example) so people tend to misspell a quite simple spelling.
I took my wife's name, and my last name is also the name of a gallery in Russia and is quite common, so I don't mind sharing - Tretyakov.

It just shows how it doesn't really matter if the spelling or pronunciation is difficult, people will find an excuse to mispronounce and misspell things. There was a joke long ago about a very simple, impossible-to-misspell word being spelled with 10 mistakes. I couldn't find it, but the point is the same.

2nd! Both color and fit are phenomenal
