To prevent this sort o' Pirate misery, eyelets or grommets can be used instead o' slits in the back of the bodice, and a long boot lace be used to thread it instead o' ribbon. Then, our lady pirate can lace 'erself blue without that bodice a givin' way. If the seamstress don't have an eyelet or grommet setter herself, she can be askin' the nearest female that has scrapbookin' stuff horrifical hobby that it be. Scrapbookers use eyelets on a daily basis, and the largest size eyelet would be perfect for the bodice. You might need to be usin' an awl (like a pointy thing, a miniature ice pick, you poltroon!) to be pokin' the holes thru the leather before a settin' the eyelets.
Under no circumstances can the Lady Pirate (arrrgh!) be findin' out that she's a wearin' that sissy scrapbookin' stuff. Ya know matey, 'er reputation 'ill never recover. Now-- you! Seamstress, hike yerself over to yon sewin' machine an' make 'er puffy shirt outta a solid color men's shirt, assumin' ye has one, of course. Cause there weren't no striped shirts durin' time o' Long John Silver and the lot of those scurvey devils. And a little bit of wide lace along the neckline and sleeve cuffs wouldn't be too darned painful, either. Ya knows that men's shirts 'ad lace on them in that place and time, dontcha? It showed that the shirt was quality-like. Shirts without lace were made o' canvas and were fit only for peasants. No decent Pirate Lady (arrrgh!) would be wearin' a peasant shirt when there be gentlemen's shirts for the stealin'!
Ahoy all ye who lurk here! This Instructable be great and be worth +1
