Oh yeah, I guess I should mention...
I quit my job a couple days ago, but my boss still hasn't phoned me about it... I mean, I never asked him to, but you'd think he would... I also have a theory that my coworkers took the note down out of spite, because they're douchy like that. Oh well, whenever I get around to going in and getting my pay, I'll tell him why I quit: Because everyone he has hired to work at Memorial are bitchy, elitist douchebags. I couldn't handle it anymore. ...But I'll have to pay for my uniform, since I quit before my three-month "training" period was done, which I think is bullshit, but whatever.

W00T!!!
So I got my corset supplies Friday... The parcel was fairly damp... But everything was intact and counted for. Which reminds me, I still need to email the people who sent it to tell them it arrived at the post office in a plastic bag with a sorry, we will give better service in the future note on it... ANYWAYS!!! My corsets supplies are here!! WHOOPPIIEEE!!!!!
I got impatient and have already sewn the lining, even though I haven't got the outer fabric yet. I'm changing the design of the skirt to save money, though... It'll have to wait till after christmas to complete, unless I find really nice, cheap fabric tomorrow at fabricland... 5 1/2 metres of it anyways. Gah.
I was so impatient to start sewing, I taught myself how to use my moms ancient sewing machine, and sewed on the floor. Uncomfortable, yes, but it went by fast. I have WAY more lining fabric than I need, because it was on sale for "buy 2 meters, get 1 free" or something. I only need 1! So, since the pattern doesn't allow your waist to be taken in too much (it's simply to make the Victorian sillhouette for wimpy reenactors. Pfft.) I think I may, at a later date, experiment with pattern variations, but for now I'll stick with the pattern to avoid difficulties, since this is my first corset. It'll look fine to wear to grad, anyways.
I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE IT FINISHED!!! EEEEEEEE!!!!!! xp

I am having a sewing-withdrawl (edited oct. 28)
I have come to the conclusion that I would like to make my own corset. Why? It's cheaper, and I can make it however I want. I'm going to use this pattern, and a circle skirt to match, both in this material. Unfortunately it will all come to approx. $180-200 CAD not including shipping.
I think, if I make this outfit, that I'm going to suggest that Grad be retro-themed so I don't look like a goon, all 50s-esque and whatnot. I also have a pair of shoes in mind to match, but they'll have to wait until the rest of the outfit is paid for.
I have enough for 2 yards of fabric, but whats the point in getting the fabric without anything else? Also, I need 7 yards of fabric... The skirt needs 5 and the corset needs 1-1/3, but you can only get whole yards, which is ok since I plan on making gloves to match.
I'm so excited! Now I just need money. My birthday is on Tuesday and I get paid Friday... Hopefully I have enough for everything. I'm really excited.
EDIT: I'm going to trim the top of the corset and the bottom of the skirt with this.
EDIT (oct. 28th): I found a WAY cheaper fabric site, but the fabric is pink and white rather than pink and black polkadots... I think I'm going to take a look around town before I commit to anything though. Also, I've found a few fabrics that aren't polkadot that are still pretty 50s, but I like the whole polkadot thing. This one for example is nice.
