I am still binding eyelets like a mofo, and haven't even considered the hem, but I have enough eyelets now, to the waist, that I can try the thing on. And shit! Yes! It works!
I got some photos. They're awesome photos, because it's cold in the room, I'm wearing a grungy white t-shirt, and I laced it with a broken-off zingy blue nylon shoelace that I pulled out of my roller skates after it broke. Also my hair is unwashed and I'm making retarded faces. But shortly, I will have photos of the self-supportive linen dress, holding up my ginormous hooblers totally unassisted!!!!
Also my attention is wavering slightly toward t-shirt surgery: one of my teammates is on the travel team, and just got her game jersey, and after ordering the largest size, it still doesn't fit her, and she's going to have to add "fat panels" in the sides, and that SUCKS. That just sucks. There's no reason that should have to happen. I might add that she's not even that big a girl-- she has borrowed a jersey of mine in the past, and it fit, it just wasn't comfortable over her hips. She is a hippy broad.
So I came up with a totally sick and also sweet concept for a Kat Von D-style t-shirt surgery, only roller-derby-ified (i.e. everything loose is stitched down so handsy opponents won't tangle you but if your teammate needs a shirt-whip off you it won't come apart in her hands, and also there are insane amounts of bling on it and solid panels so your name and number and team logo are clearly visible.
... Now I want one. ;) I may try it with a practice shirt!! Maybe the one I'm wearing right now that I skated in, slept in, and wore to try on my dress. Ew, sometimes I gross even myself out.
