(Seriously, is this the best time for a costumer to be alive or what?) Go read them both.

		<description><![CDATA[We all know how to make a corset, right? Take a bodice pattern that&#8217;s too small, sew a lot of boning channels in it, a little jiggery-pokery to get the boning in, seal the edges, and presto change-o, corset. And that&#8217;s great, but it&#8217;s not the only way to make a corset. Well, ok, if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing a lot with the Pfalzgrafin corset lately. One of the things I said in the original post was that this type of corset is rather uncomfortably on bodies that aren&#8217;t relatively straight, and is a total failure on more extreme hourglass shapes. But I wanted to make it work on Tyler, so [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had a major case of corset-brain lately (I think it&#8217;s a rebellion against that darned unfitted eleventh century thing), and I&#8217;ve been doing some research.  You know what&#8217;s annoying about the Effigy?

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, that pesky Pfalzgrafin corset&#8230; It&#8217;s technically dated to 1598, by virtue of being found on the body of Pfalzgrafin Dorothea Sabina von Neuburg, who was buried then. It would be really-amazingly-super-conveneint if it was older, wouldn&#8217;t it? Seriously. I&#8217;ve really got an itch to do something from the middle of the 1500s. I&#8217;ve started [...]]]></description>
