I think you've reposted. I'm sure I read this exact same post yesterday/day before?

You are right- how extremely sloppy of me. Thank you for pointing it out! I have now edited the post to show what it was supposed to show...

Looking forward to watching this complex project. I made many trips to Stockholm but never saw this dress displayed. =( I am pretty sure I tried to hit up the muesums.

An Iron Busk, yeah I can see that to get that waist.

I hope you post on where and how you would store such a thing, or get it into luggage. =)

The Royal Armory, Livrustkammaren, is located in the cellars of the Royal Castle. It's a rather small museum, mostly filled with old weapons, but they also exhibit clothes. It is rather crowded though and the robe de cour is in the back with other costumes in front. Add the weak light and you may miss it. :)

I'm going to have to travel with train with it packed- I am a bit worried about that, actually....

The obvious answer is that you need to wear it while riding the train. ;)
