Madness or greatness?

I just purchased a set of Elizabethan stays on etsy.

You know how the suggestion page when one logs in is generally pretty awful? Well, the other day it gave me a set of stays made from the Hunisett pattern, and the measurements of the stays when laid flat were exactly three inches smaller than my current bust and hip measurements. Which is perfect. Perfectly perfect.

And they're covered in rust, green, and gold brocade, and with shipping the total was 43 dollars.

Reader, I folded like a flimsy card table. I'm both ashamed and elated.

It's a hell of a steal!!

It really is! I debated calling a friend to talk me off the ledge, then objectively realized she'd push me right off the ledge and consider it a good deed.

I am absolutely that friend. I tell my friends when they ask for advice on something to tread carefully because my official title should be "Enabler of bad decisions."
