Good: Ichiroya.com has a great selection of Japanese kimono fabrics of various fiber content, age, condition and price range. They accepted my payment promptly and my fabric arrived in less than 2 weeks. Their pricing seems fair, as does the shipping charges. The fabric was as pictured and as described on the internet. I didn't have to contact the company so I can't report on their promptness in this area.

Bad: There are way too many choices on this site! 

Overall: I would defiantly shop from this site again!

    Well I can check one thing off my list, the leg warmers for Victoria. Here they are:

What do you think?

  I made them with the round red knifty knitter and two skeins (3.5 oz each) of bulky(5) yarn. They took me a week to make, but I could have done it in two days (a day a leg) if not for school and work. I could give the pattern up if anyone's interested. . .

I made this corset last year. It's embroidered brown linen with pink trim and lining. The corset has an interlining of pink duck cloth and is stiffened with steel bones.
