Dear ladies,
From a puzzled farm girl in Indiana (both in real life and in period times)
Can one resize a corset that is too large? How would one go about it?
How can one wash a second hand hoop?
I've just been given a treasure trove of riches by a dear mentor of mine who had been a reenactor but stopped some time ago. The dresses and other garments at least can be cut down/done over, but I must confess these two questions are...difficult.
My backstory in my persona is an eclectic aunt from the South sent up a bundle...and, quite frankly, we couldn't afford a hoop for me before. Doctors don't make much and Mama's very often poorly.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Yrs truly,
Grace Hopkins (period name)
