It's an 1830 Wedding Stay, the one worn by the woman who's getting laced up. I'm going to sew it by hand, so that if/when I get the chance to do some real historical costuming I'll have an accurate reproduction. It's made of 100% Cotton Drill with 100% Linen lining (incidentally, the sheets at the hospital this morning were cotton drill...), and I'm using real linen thread and silk thread to sew and embroider it. I cut it all out last night.
The only thing I wish is that I had a way of going and getting movies, I don't know if it's a good idea for me to drive to Blockbuster or not. Maybe in 48 hours, after the anti-virals start working.

Poor girl - you just can't get a break! But all of your projects look beautiful. I can't get over what an accomplished ... everything! you're becoming. Yay for you!
In an echo to Elizabeth, poor girl! Belated congrats on both grad and getting into U of M. The wedding stay looks really interesting, you're so ambitious to do it by hand. As for everthing else you're doing - wow!
