More old costume pieces

The old corset.  You can see how it slightly dug into my hips... Just enough to be uncomfortable.

My bloomers, out of $1/yd faux-plaid from Walmart.
A non-historical based chemise from a scrap from Walmart.  I need to fix the sleeves because they make my arms look really short and are too tight.


And here's me wearing my first-attempt at a Tudor gown... Notice the unperiod no-sleeves.  The bodice is now retired.  The skirts are being jazzed up and I'll hopefully get new pics up.
First pic is wearing the previous chemise, where you can see how short my arms look.  Second pic is with a slightly more period white chemise, but you can see the strap coming unsewn.
