		<description><![CDATA[Oh, the medieval romance of the sleeve with the little pointsy-doo that falls gracefully over your hand&#8230; So lovely. The problem is that half the time something goes wrong and you end up with a sleeve that looks like it&#8217;s flipping you off &#8211; the point doesn&#8217;t follow your hand (unless you put a loop [...]]]></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[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>

You just want something the same size and shape as, say, a doll who is too inconveniently vinyl-y to pin into. There is a hard way to do this. It works [...]]]></description>
