The largest rectangle is approximately 2"x 2 1/2". All seams are overlocked, and the hem is blind stitched by machine. Measurements: (This skirt probably a size 8-10) Waist: 28 inches Hips: Up to 50" ( would hang better if smaller) Length: C.Frt. approx. 42" C.Back the same. Skirt Circumference: 168" or 4 2/3 yards. The skirt is fairly straight in the front, with small darts at the waist as well as the goring, and the back is pleated along with the goring to form the full back of the 1890s. A small bustle would work with the back, or a petticoat with a very full back is recommended to help it stand out at the proper angle. I did not have a petticoat made to go under it when it was photographed. The center back placket is 8" long (not counting the waistband) and closes with 5 faux mother of pearl 1" buttons. This fabric was not preshrunk, so dry cleaning is recommended, rather than washing. This skirt is ready for shipping as is, but can be ordered in any size, fabric or color you desire. Would be great in a stiff iridescent taffeta, wool gabardine, wool flannel or heavy cotton twill. Depending on number of orders received, the turn around time is likely to be up to 2 weeks for completion. Consultation on fabrics and measurements will be ongoing and I will keep you up to date on my progress. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=412315 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:47:17 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=412282 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=412282"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/5288_product_600800601_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> A proper wench, gypsy, or lady pirate blouse for the full figured woman, complete with drawstring neckline and cuffs. The blouse can be as demure or revealing as you dare, with tie length to spare.This blouse will fit up to a 52" bust comfortably, and depending on whether you wear the sleeve on the shoulder or off, the actual sleeve measures 23" from the neckline tie to the wrist tie. The neckline ruffle is 3/4" high, and the cuff ruffle is a little over 4" long.The hip measurement is 58", and the blouse measures 18 1/2" at center front, and 17 1/2 from underarm to hem. I am not entirely sure what the fabric is, but I know it is at least partially rayon, due to the wrinkle factor. The other component is probably cotton.I recommend gentle hand laundering and line or flat drying, or if you have a gentle/cool dry cycle on your dryer that might work also.The blouse can be made for a smaller or larger size bust, as long as you want it, and from whatever type and color of fabric you prefer. Please contact me with any questions you might have.This blouse is ready for shipping. Orders will take from a week to 10 days to complete, depending on number of orders I have. If you order, I will contact you with a more specific time line. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=412282 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:38:57 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=394915 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=394915"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/5288_product_1424635260_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> RenFest demi-corset made from a dark green upholstery fabric with widely spaced stripes in cranberry and subtle gold (non metallic) tones.It is lined in a dark green moirre taffeta, and each layer is underlined in a heavy cotton canvas for stability.There are 12 bones: center fronts, center backs, sides (front and back), side fronts and side backs.The corset is bound in a double layer of the lining moirre cut on the bias, sewn to the front by machine, and turned and hand blind stitched in place to the lining.I have used brass washers buttonhole stitched to each side of the front and back to hold the lacings, which are a twisted satin decorator cording. Lines of stitching at half inch intervals help stiffen the center front panels.This corset is not meant to be a waist reducer, but rather to function as a costume piece for reenactments and Ren Fests. The wench blouse is not included in this listing, but can be purchased or custom ordered separately, in another listing.This piece is ready to ship, however, a Custom demi corset can be made to your measurements in this style, but in different fabric as you request.

If you include the loops for the lacings, if tied tightly, the total top circumference is 15 1/2, but can be made to any size.

And in the back window of the truck was a rather Op Art rendition of the checkered flag used to announce the winners of car races. So I simply combined the two, added my own touches to jazz it up a little, and here you have this OOAK "And the Winner Is...." An ACEO is an acronym for Art Cards Editions and Originals. These are miniature works of art, either original or in print form, and usually one of a kind. This ooak drawing is an original in the specified size of 2.5" x 3.5". The backing is a 140# watercolor paper, and I have used a Sharpie pen, 3-D gel pens, and glue on rhinestones to achieve my tiny work of art. The title, is on the back along with my signature and the date. ACEOs are a great way to own original art without having to spend a month's wages.
