Dear Marzi,

I know you want to do Renaissance Revival sleeve slashes with green silk puffs (bordered with lace) on your new bodice. it WOULD look very very cool. but consider:

You would need to order more green silk and it would not be done in time for holiday travel

IT IS A WINTER BODICE, YOU ABSOLUTE PEABRAIN

DO NOT BREAK UP THE NICE COZY WOOL SLEEVES WITH NON-INSULATING-WEIGHT SILK

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE USING ANTIQUE CHANTILLY LACE AGAIN DESPITE KNOWING THAT THAT SHIT IS AS BRITTLE AS APRIL ICE

"wah wah they don't make it in non-plastic anymore though!!!" YOU ARE A MENACE TO INNOCENT LACE IS WHAT YOU ARE, MADAME

get your fucking act together,

Marzi.

#sewing #historybounding #victorian #show me where to get black cotton net lace of the same quality today and I'll leave the antique stuff alone #for now it gets gently stitched on low-stress areas of garments with a good thought and a prayer
