ya I was looking at the lacing stays today on farthingales. Very tempting for back lacing. Only problem I ever had with a multiadjustable is well, it seemed to need a lot of adjusting.
Best idea for adjusting is to make the panels just a tish bigger, then bind each piece separately. Then sew together. One usually doesn't go up a lot from time to time requiring the blessed back to be open too. (besides, with a fitted doublet dress if you do a back and front adjustment, you may not be able to close it if it is too loose/big etc)(from personal experience)
I put tabs in mine cause it is the same pattern as mine from Pennsic that I paid way too much for. Fits nice, doesn't fit that low on the waist to really be too much of an issue.
Lilac silk...you snot. Temptation...Sigh. Gotta go to 44th st Fields for stays tomorrow, thinking of hitting the 28th st Joanns by Rogers plaza that is going out of business (prolly due to the new swanky store) and will check out the cottons and silks if they have them.
And it has been 17 years since I joined the society, nearly 10 years since my Evergreen and you are still further along in the eyes of the laurel than I am. Course 6 years ago I wondered if I really wanted it knowing all the old crabby people were in it. Now there are cool peeps and I know my research and execution of design are no where near what they are. I am resigned to look spiff and teach every darn thing I know.
