I usually just lurk here, but I since my hobby is historical dressmaking I can maybe add something to the conversation.
First of all, the cost; yes, it is an expensive hobby. Personally I think it is a good idea to use only natural fibres since those were available even though synthetics would be cheaper I just think they also look cheap. Cotton fabric can be quite cheap though and make for some nice dresses.

Second: corsets. I can of course only speak from personal experience but my corsets are all made after historical patterns and appropriate to the time period of whatever piece I am wearing. I have spent full days in summer and winter in a corset and think it is quite a neat support garment (I don't tight lace). My organs are still all in the right spot too. I have even done ice skating, cricket, sledding and tennis in a corset and it lets you move just fine. Just my two cents. If you want to know more I would be happy to answer any questions you may have if it's okay with the mods.

how would you describe the feeling of wearing a corset to a man who has never worn a bra?

It feels like you're wearing a snug undershirt that ends just above your nipples that supports your back and stomach. Or maybe imagine a broad bandage on your torso. It really isn't uncomfortable at all since it is fitted to your measurements.
 
Please don't merge or shuffle this thread somewhere else. It's been a fun read and the refocusing on dressmaking, Victoriana, and other topics has been highly entertaining.

I think there were some updates in the general Munchies thread, and I hope those posters will put them in here. This forum is big enough to hold one extra thread. We've got lots of interesting people chit-chatting and I think that would get lost if we merged or moved somewhere else.

@Munchie_Minder - Sergers are really finicky. I concur with AbraCadaver up above - try a different thread to see if that stops the breakage.

I'd love to see examples of your work. Could you show us some if it doesn't give away your identity?

Yeah sure
This is the latest outfit I made. A summer dress circa 1903 so early Edwardian era. It is machine sewn and has three petticoats under it to keep the shape. All made out of cotton and St. Gall embroidery (broderie anglasise).

That's lovely! I guess we should all thank Munchie Christine for her contribution here. This is a great little thread. I'm learning so much. Hell, it's in the Beauty Parlour and it's regarding sewing and historical fashion. I don't mind keeping her around. Bonus points if Christine shows back up at some point just for funsies.
 
Creepy Carrie is now proudly scamming free food that's intended for the actually sick and needy out of a local church group and bragging about it on Instagram.

As for being "positively wasting", her last selfie posted 6 days ago shows her looking like as much of a dumpy double-chinned bag of potatoes as usual, so not sure who she thinks she's fooling with that one.

I can't with her. Sis, you only need to eat a cracker or two to take meds. That's all. You aren't wasting away. You aren't sick. You need to stop scamming good hearted people who have limited resources that could go toward actual people in need. Your goblin gnome husband isn't going to help you do shit because you're only there as a placeholder until he finds another insipid, awkward, gullible teenager to fuck who's parents don't love them enough to put the kibosh on it. Ugh, this bitch annoys me. Anymore historical fashion trivia?
 
She doesn't look like a malnourished young noblewoman dying of consumption, she looks like a robust, healthy adult peasant on a year of a particularly rich harvest. Look at that healthy flush of color on her cheeks.

She also doesn't sound very Victorian in her post, although you can see she tries in places.
 
Since it's completely obvious that her husband doesn't find her at all sexually appealing, what do you guys think he's actually into? Porn addiction? Gay bars? Cartoon loli? Fursuit yiffing?

Preteen porn probably with all their little fetishes.
