		<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.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, you need to sew a chemise and you don&#8217;t really want to spend a lot of time on it. Either you&#8217;re out of time, or the thought of sewing just one more chemise in your life inspires a sense of soul-crushing despair. Anyway, I&#8217;ve worked out a couple tricks over the years to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, you need a knicker, or some other relatively non-denominational short, slightly poofy pantlet with a cuff at the bottom, and you don&#8217;t have time to make it from scratch. (Perhaps, for example, you have a cast of 37, and 9 or 11 of them are kids in Fagin&#8217;s gang and most of them are [...]]]></description>
