		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere in the Victorian era, people started coming up with ideas for making corsets more comfortable to wear. Gigglishiously ironical though that may sound, some great innovations came out of it. One of my favs is the single layer corset &#8211; no lining, no interlining, just a base layer of fabric and some boning. If [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so you know I&#8217;m gonzo about le moulage, right? It&#8217;s basically a princess line dress, with no ease. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of jumbo plastic cable ties as corset boning for a long time. The only real downside to them is that they can get sharp corners when you cut them, and those corners will eat through fabric over time. I used to file them down with a nail-file, but that takes [...]]]></description>

		<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>

I was technically just there as wardrobe, but they let help with the load-in and setup, and I learned 62,458,371 new things, which is always super-great. Yesterday I slept. No, really, that&#8217;s most of what I [...]]]></description>
