Back from the renfaire...

Got back from the renfaire a little after 11:00 last night.  New corset got the quick and dirty finish, but it did get done in time for the faire.  Discovered that even removing 4.5 inches from my measurements, it was still too big as it didn't support the cleavage properly.  Did get a nice looking guy from the Scottish games demo to lace me into the corset on Sunday.  He also helped with some of my back problems.  Got some of the ribs back into place and re-aligned my hips into their proper location.

But I started hurting Saturday evening and still hurt.  The new corset still rode on my hip bones, as did two belts that held a rapier, a dagger, 2 pouches and .50 black powder, cap and ball pistol.  Add the weight of my pants and a twill skirt and my hip bones are bruised beyond belief.  Instead of pressure when I touch my left hip, I feel numbness.  Just went to lunch and took a 600 mg ibuprofen.  Hope that helps to fix the issue...  I've never hurt so bad after a renfaire as I do now and there was no sword fighting, nothing overly physical.  Just walking around in lots of clothes in the heat of the day.  I'll post more on it later and hope to have some pics from it soon.  As part of the cast, I wasn't allowed to take pictures, but got e-mails for some of the folks who did, including one who did a short photo shoot with me yesterday :D
