rmThe clothes I ordered came today. The jacket is not as well tailered as I would like, and the collar was crushed in shipping. I'm going to put to small stitches in it, so it holds up where it should, as opposed to dropping into a wildly inappropriate shawl collar. It also has false buttons which I hadn't realized.
That said, I played with it for a bit, and I have a plan, I just need someone to help me pin it eveninly, and I'll put a couple of darts in it, and I will be good to go.
The skirt I bought, which I wasn't sure was goingt o work at all though, is stunning, and all put together, I'm nearly embarrassed by the thoroughness of my execution on this one.
Heee.
Burnt from rehearsal. Should manage to get to the spa tomorrow, think I'm not going to be able to fit horses in until two weeks from tomorrow, but dude, I really want to do it, even if it is just (and most likely) me doing it once or twice just to prove to myself I can without being a big screaming wuss. You'd think, that having taken flying lessons, riding a horse would not scare me because they're tall. You'd be wrong.
Rawr.

Date: 2004-08-06 11:24 pm (UTC)When I was ten years old, I was thrown up onto the saddle of a large, large white horse which was being led by a small wiry man. THis man spoke Arabic and a very little French; I spoke a little French too, but not enough words in common. I don't know what language the horse spoke, but it wasn't a language I knew either. I managed not to fall, but having that big scary horse trot (probably quite sedately) around the yard with no rope or anything was fucking terrifying, not least because of the huge language barrier.
May your horse, and especially your instructors, speak English.
As to the jacket; I've occasionally had similar problems with that company's stuff, which is why I try to get their things on sale when I can, but it sounds easy enough to fix, which is about par for the course on their stuff that I've bought. I'd like to see pictures once you're happy with it.
