Be wary of joining that community - it will devour your fpage! (Bustles aren't that difficult to wear or walk in, and a good corset won't be uncomfortable. Just sayin')

As for the buttoned legwarmers, I *think* I have a pattern for those. Hurrah for another damn project on my list YAY seriously, I think I'll be dead before I finish everything I want to make...

Thanks for thinking of me :D

Yeah, they're pretty busy there. I think I'll just check in once in a while.

I'm not ruling out making a corset at some point... I've been working on essentially doing an unboned version, sort of a fitted vest. I got interested in doing that after making a Burgundian outfit (1490s - 1510s) -- so much more comfortable than a regular bra!

I might consider a bustle if I ever get into going to cons or maybe for a local historic thing, but my current primary aim is to re-do my everyday wardrobe, so a bustle probably isn't part of that alternate future ;)

Yay on the pattern for buttoned legwarmers! We all need Mooooore projects, bwahahahaaa

Thanks for thinking of me :D

Most welcome ;)
