(no subject)

I just tried everything on for the first time. Well, except the cravat which I couldn't figure out and will probably need help with.

Woah. At first I was like "I look like a lame girl in a costume" and then I lounged against the wall as opposed to frowning at myself nervously. Sex on legs.

The breeches really aren't quite right at the knee, but if I leave the button open there is passably better, so I'll so that and fix it another time.

I don't want to take it off, t I suppose I must until tomorrow.

for those of you following along at home, the packing actually works in a non-obnoxious way and should be a non-issue dance wise. hahahahah

I've only been able to tie cravats on other people, not myself.

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~awoodley/regency/tie.html is passably helpful.

I yearn for pictures.

It's really cruel to say things like that without posting pictures.

There will be pictures in a few days.

Patience is a virtue. I tell myself 3 times :)

Oh good! I'm sure you look utterly fantastic; you have both the figure and the bearing for that kind of clothing.

no kidding!

Yes, but do you dress to the left or to the right?

[identity profile] rm.livejournal.com 2006-10-14 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
the right, apparently.

You learn something new about yourself every day....

Well you could pass yourself off as Stephen Maturin (at least, in the knee button department) because his were never done up ;)

haahahah. And I'm ornery, bookish and have a thing for men in uniform besides!
