I talked to the women, and they have everything made for them based on a period original they own. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page, they list how you can buy just the wire :) In the kit they mention you can buy other parts as well.
Ya, I'm not really sure if was worth the time either. I bought the kit because I thought it would be quicker than fixing the corded petticoat...Who knows? At least now I have two options, and it is pretty kickass I just need a little time to go by before I really love it.
Yes, definably crazy making! Their is definitely the huge plus though of it looking very historically accurate. Oh and it is SO LIGHT WEIGHT. I can barely tell I am wearing it.
Though, one warning. If you wear it in cold weather, make sure you have proper pettis underneath.
I wore it last Christmas at Kentwell's Dickens Christmas and I froze on the first day with just cotton beneath it. This year, I will have a quilted petticoat underneath!
Good point! I hadn't thought about that. May not be as big of a problem here in Los Angeles but I imagine night events will get a bit chilly. I think a frilly little underskirt is in order :)
