By &#8220;a teensy little bustle&#8221;, I mean something that sticks out roughly 24&#8243; behind her. You know, no bigs&#8230; So what&#8217;s going on under there? First off, there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing makes a pant look as fantastically olde-timey as a fall front. Unfortunately, a real fall front is a pain in the patouty to sew (trust me), and it&#8217;s not something that can be added in after the fact in any sort of historically accurate manner. Fortunately, if you&#8217;re not 100% concerned about authenticity, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first steel, front-fastening busk was invented in 1829. (Waugh, 79) They&#8217;re nifty little beasties, especially at the end of the day when you would really, sincerely like to be OUT of your ding-dang corset. I&#8217;ve hear rumors that they can be used to get into a pre-tightened corset, as well, but I&#8217;ve tried, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regency corsets, I&#8217;ve decided, are shockingly complexticated little beasties. I mean, they look all simple and they represent a time when, officially, corsets were somewhat démodé (except for how pretty much everyone was still wearing them). The pattern is easy enough. The construction is easy enough. There&#8217;s one central wooden busk and all of 14 pieces [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;m making up a Regency style corset and it has gussets at the bust and hip to give it shape. I&#8217;m lining the corset, but I&#8217;d like to do the gussets as single-layer pieces. If you find yourself doing something equally silly, here&#8217;s how to slam a gusset in between the two layers in [...]]]></description>

That makes it a pretty accurate model of a specific human&#8217;s torso. But what the heck do I do with that information? I&#8217;m working with two remote clients right now, and they&#8217;ve sent me back their [...]]]></description>
