Because of my back and general body aches, I have switched to wearing front-closure bras. I like them, but the ones that work best for me (and my wardrobe) are plunge bras, and sometimes I don't want that. After searching the interwebs, I found this post on how to convert a back-closure bra to front-closure.
After showing the post to the Madwoman in the Attic (who snorted and said, "Yeah, that's easy enough that you could probably do it yourself, please don't"), I ordered a bra in my current size and handed it over to her. She did the change overnight, so later today I will try on the new bra and report back on how it works.

Because of OMG WEATHER in our region (we didn't lose power, thank goodness) and the general stress of my life recently, I had a migraine off-and-on all last week. I finally admitted defeat on Friday, tapped out super early, and spent most of the weekend sleeping or being a lump on the couch. Miss Erzabet No Biting approved of this.

I've really missed the long-skirted velvet waistcoats that I used to wear all the time. ChicStar no longer makes them, and they're impossible to find on any of the 2nd hand sites. So I pulled out the two that I could almost button closed and added D-ring tape down the front so I can lace them closed. I also waved one (before the alterations I did), waved it at the Madwoman, and then unearthed the black and the wine velvet that I had the most of. She confirmed there was enough yardage of both, so I'll have new waistcoats sometime in the near future, yay!
