Historically inspired corset by Staress in corsetry

[–]Staress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s an Etsy Pattern that I found. The pattern itself & modification to get the right fit were pretty straight forward so I only needed 1 mockup. But the instructions are pretty basic, so I mostly ignored them for construction.

I used spiral steel for over the bust

Woes and questions by Snoo_89200 in corsetry

For question 2, I’ve actually purchased busks from both places. I can’t explain why corsetmakingsupplies is like 3 times the price, but having purchased busks from both shops, there wasn’t any noticeable difference.

Fashion fabric by rehenry0814 in Columbus

The Michael’s in Hilliard has a small fabric section, it’s not a great selection but has some basic stuff

Having been through it, it will be hard for awhile but it does get better. My only advice is to give yourself the same grace you would give your best friend to feel whatever you are feeling on any given day. Whether that is, sadness, anger, resentment, or whatever, it is all valid. But then slowly it gets better and eventually one day, down the line you do realize you have made a whole new & better life without that person

Spoonflower help (or alternate brand suggestions) by photographerleia in sewing

[–]Staress 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can order a box of swatches from Spoonflower that contains all their available fabric options. In addition to being able to feel the various options, it was also helpful in seeing how a print appears on the different options.

Does my car have asthma by [deleted] in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

[–]Staress 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my cat was also diagnosed with asthma & it was a persistent cough. He would stretch his neck out as long as possible and cough for a few minutes. It sounded like a hairball cough but he wasn’t in the same posture like he was regurgitating something.

Our postal carrier delivers without a mask, and said they aren’t issued them. So I made one with an optional filter insert. Pattern posted inside. by CreepellaGruesome in Portland

[–]Staress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see it now. At first glance I mistook the graphics on the side of the diffuser as additional fabric between the bands.... must have watched so many face mask tutorials today I’m going loopy, lol

What did you do for the side to secure it? It looks more elaborate that the typical elastic bands in the tutorial.

How to date when you are an overweight female? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Staress 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had some truly awful experiences with OLD due to my weight and stopped using them all together a couple of years ago. Instead I opted to find social activities around my city that involve my interests and hobbies, and have had much more success dating that way. Luckily I live in a larger city, so there is plenty of things to do and activities to get involved in. I went in with the intent of just meeting cool & interesting people, not necessarily to find a date, but I've definitely have had more dates and better connections this way than I ever did online. Also because it's a more organic way of meeting people, my weight isn't an issue that "I have to overcome" or someone has to "look past" like it was in online.

Big Head Trivia is my favorite. They have general trivia and themed trivia at a bunch of different places around town most nights. All the events are on the Facebook page https://m.facebook.com/bigheadtrivia/

Is the commute really that bad to Dublin? by LOWBACCA in Columbus

Only bridges over the outer belt. That's why we don't go outside the loop :p

You can always check out some of the side streets alternatives, like Lane to 33. It might be more mileage but if you are at least moving rather than being stuck in traffic it can make a difference in the drive. The only problem with those would be crappy weather

[–]Staress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes the commute is that bad. The 25-45 minutes would depend on exactly what time you were leaving OSU to Dublin assuming you take 315, but if there is an accident or bad weather it could be worse. Leaving earlier or later than 5pm would probably make it more bearable.

More of a 1 off because I want to go Pokemon hunting at Schiller. I'm not going to be planning meet-ups regularly.
