Actually, the title of the page in my IE window shows correctly, but the actual thread is backwards.

Nifty.

Lol, can't see pix at werk.

Btw, this is the exact formula pattern I used:

҉ Test.


Blow me, Lys.  

I'm talking about River's green dress, not her fucking blue shower curtain.

I need to respond this way to people at work.

TITCM, and also a fast track to getting fired.


...I'm in.

Not QUITE.

The pances are finished. Basic black nylon trousers, extra puffy in the bellydancer (lol) style. Basically he needs "lunging" room, and he's going to tuck them into his boots, so the puffier the better. I can provide a pattern for them if you like. They are ridiculously simple.

LAIL!!!!!

As someone who has studied The Arte of Defence  and tried it in both slops (puffy pants) and hose... there is no such thing as "lunging" in baggy pants... at least not in any sane sense. Of course, there was no such thing as "lunging" in rapier until the 1700's. Mostly people trying to kill other people, did not commit insane movements such as lunging, since missing with the point basically leaves you entirely open to being dead, before you can recover.

Di Grassi came somewhat close with his long step, but even that was only of a "pace or two". Crazy Lunging came about as a part of sport fencing in France.

There does exist some evidence that at least one French school taught a lunge. There's also evidence that this didn't work well, since the Spanish and Italians simply parried such that the Frenchmen impaled their eye on the quillion.

Well, he's a LARPer, so it's not like anything he does is historically accurate anyway. Plus, he's not the spandex type.

If there is one thing a Frenchman loves, it is a good impaling.

Or vice versa. I'll post a pic of my tat for LMNO's tits.

Well, in December it's a different story. Then I wear big scary flannel pance that are still loose enough to be comfy...but I sleep pance-less. Warmth is obviously what the electric blanket and my husband is for.

tell me you're not a fan of the "carrot pants" that seem to be all the hype last year .. (and still going )

they're like regular jeans, but instead of straight, or (slightly hippie style, which i like) taper outwards to the bottom, they get thinner !!

it has already been established by my saner friends that no matter what shape or figure you are, this will NOT be flattering. either you're slim and you will look like you have very skinny carrot legs accentuating the thinness at the bottom, or you're not-so-slim and you will look like chicken drumsticks accentuating the larger shape at the top. it's a lose/lose situation.

the only *possible* solution to it, is if you'd wear boots /over/ the pants. i've seen this a few times and it's .. okay. ish. as in, they could have bought normal pants in the first place.

this is another typical example of people buying whatever is available in the stores, even if nobody ever asked for it, everybody actually secretly thinks it's butt-ugly and the fashion-queens in Paris must be laughing their asses off. (srsly they just *decide* this stuff, no market research, no nothing. there is one woman (i forgot the name), she decides what colours will be "hip" for every year. really)

other examples were stonewashed jeans, or those ankle-pants of a few years back, any of those "vintage" things and umm all the shirts that say "DOCK #37" (what)  .. and i wonder if they're also responsible for the 80s?

I own ONE pair of skinny jeans. They're Abercrombie and Fitch and my sister got them for me last year at Christmas. I only wear them with boots over them because otherwise they look fucking dumb. Good for Winter when boots are helpful, but really asinine in the summer. Other than that I wear straight legs, flares/bellbottoms and crops. I can't stand pants as it is (I seriously sat around in a t-shirt and panties all day yesterday while sewing), and if I have to wear them, I need to be comfortable.

The pants pattern I'm going to post today are typically what would be described as 'Harem' pants, or bellydancing pants. Even Hammer pants if you screw with them enough. They're typically for period costumes, but they're are pretty fucking comfortable around the house as well.

[just any tight pance at all.]

That sounds pretty awesome. I am a fan of the "puffy pance in boots" look, although I'm also a big fan of the "really tight pance in boots" look, or really, just any tight pance at all.

I knew I held on to those latex tights for a reason.

Alright, I'll WOMP draw out a pattern in MSPaint for you when I get a chance.

He's playing the lead in White Noise 2, which I think is a direct to DVD movie, but it looks fucking creepy as hell.

Other than that, my sister is like OBSESSED with Serenity. She wants me to make her a River costume.
