I searched in all the usual places for the left-over boning
from DD's wedding gown, but it was hiding *very well*. So I
just came back from buying 4 yards for the Highland vests (I
really only need 2/3 yard per vest, but I know for sure I'll
be making at least three). Each side of the center front is
boned, and the boning is sewn to the hair-canvas
underlining. Nerts! I have to take out the underlining
basting, and sew the boning channels. I think I'll use
scraps of silk organza, doubled, to cut down on the bulk.
I cut the boning in a curve at the ends and ran it through a
candle flame, which makes a nice blunt end. I have seen
some of the girls being tortured by pokey boning. :-(
