| Hi everyone! I'm a new shadowcast member but I've been checking out your community here for a couple of years for ideas when going to Rocky as an audience member :)
i am interested in making my own Floorshow corset soon. I have never sewn anything that complicated before, so I'm not looking to really do alterations to a pattern or go at it from scratch. Does anyone have any pattern suggestions? I saw some Simplicity ones that could be feasible. (and I don't need to do anything too quick and dirty, as I have an old Victoria's Secret corset that looks like it should suffice when worn upside down and backwards)
I'm also trying to locate a cotton push-up bra I can buy in store. My problem is finding the correct size (32DD US size).
Thanks for any advice and I look forward to returning the favor! | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment   |
| For all the "Janets" out there. I came across 3 round plastic belt buckles for Janet's pink dress. Only 1 is white, the other 2 would need painted. My camera is packed to move right now and I refuse to buy a smart phone. I can send pics via text if anyone wants to see them. I am giving these away.
EDIT: These measure 2 1/4 inches | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |

| I have a few pieces for sale, if anyone is interested. Pics will be available on request. I have...
- Columbia bustier and shorts, made by Mina in late '06. They still look brand new. I wore them once (not for a performance) and that was all...they just don't fit right anymore. The shorts are approximately a size 5 off-the-rack and the bustier was made when I was a 32A, I want to say waist size 26-ish and hip size 34-ish? I can get out a tape measure if anyone needs me to and measure it further.
- Magenta boots - black suede, pointy-toed, snaps up the side, size 8. I bought them second hand from Jessica. I think she said she wore them once, and I wore them for one performance.
- Gold Janet-style shoes, size 8. Worn for a female Rocky role. Looks similar to Janet's shoes, but they're a shiny gold color.
If anyone is interested in anything, you can email me at weasley_princess AT yahoo DOT com and I can send you pics and work out prices. :) | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Hey guys,
I stumbled upon this website today when I was looking for something completely different (of course). They appear to sell Janet Majors Little Black Dress and Faith Factory dress style sequin fabric-- flat, non-overlapping sequins sewn on with three stitches of clear thread. They have black sequins on black chiffon for $14.99 a yard or black sequins on black satin for $26.49 a yard. The white sequin fabric has clear sequins on white satin for $26.49 a yard. They also sell fuchsia sequins on fuchsia chiffon for $14.99 a yard which might be useful for Columbia bow ties.

| I realize the population of XL Magentas who like cotton panties may be somewhat small, but if you are one:
Lane Bryant's Cacique line of underwear includes a full-back black string bikini in 100% cotton. No tags to snip. Available in 12, 14/16, 18/20, 22/24, 26/28 (think dress sizes; the 14/16 is about the equivalent of a normal size 8 for underwear).
The store I went to only had 14/16 and the 18/20; on-line they have the full range of sizes:
http://www.lanebryant.com/sexy-plus-size-intimate-apparel/panties/stretch-cotton-string-bikini-panty/4043c4045p42200/index.pro?Mcatn=panties&Mcatpn=cacique&Mcatg=category_root&Mcatp=cat_4043%406000&Mcat=4045%406000#SelectThisSize
There are two strips of elastic along the side, placed right next to each other; I may snip one off (it's separate from the waistband), although with them on, the two strips look like just one, and it's proportional to me, so I may see how it works with the two.
They're currently selling at 6 for $30, which means I think I have a lifetime supply now.
I've only found strings in my size that aren't thong backs a couple of times (my current Magenta undies date back to 1998, and the elastic's starting to go), so I figured I'd share.
