Boob cups are good for those milk shakes
Oh yah good one you douche. What are boob cups anyways.
Dang. I wanted to be the first comment.
it is interesting to think of where this has been and what random drunk or old senile guy wrote this. I love these finds and i love the mysterious history of it.
Ohh..we are sewing something s e x y !!
Hm. Sie is just sewing a corset... doesn't everyone write out their sewing list like this?
Boning: "In corsetry, a bone is one of the rigid parts of a corset that forms its frame and gives it rigidity."
"boob cups" again when making outfits where the girl doesn't wear a bar requires Cups to be sewn in.
So most likely some type of costume was being made.
Definitely a corset! I been looking to have one made myself. My sewing is pretty much limited to fixing holes in denim and sewing on buttons. I can follow a pattern, but jeeze, I hate to sew. I can cook tho!
I thought the same thing about "boob cups"...someone is either doing this for the first time and doesn't realize the work involved or does it so often that it's just easier to write that. I'd guess the former because, everyone knows, boning is such work sometimes.
[snicker] She said "boning"...[snicker]
boob cup. [he he he he]
Off-white "thread" is also euphemistic.
[ewwwww]
what's with all the people knowing about corsets? Just accept the mysteriousness of the find already and stop trying to figure out what it means.
Corsets are amazing, why not want to know about them? Some things just aren't mysterious.
Someone off to a Scarlett O'Hara theme party, maybe?
Tighty those lacy's, Scarleyy honey!

I like the idea of a sequined bread corset.
Janenna was sewing a sequined, off-white corset to show off to her sewing club. It was complete with boob cups and boning. Her husband thought it was a dish rag and used it to do the dishes.
@ belief: Don't look at comments if you want every find to seem mysterious...
@ Rob: LOL, and ewww!
She's making a bustier or a ballgown. Boning...plastic these days, not whalebone, to stiffen the bodice and keep it in place--strapless gown. Boob cups go along with this, the bra is part of the dress. Sequins for that shiny Lawrence Welk effect. (Yes, I'm old. We established that years ago.)And offwhite thread to sew the boob cups and boning into the bodice of the bustier. (Yay for alliteration's artful aid!)
"Ball room dancin', made a man of me
I got what I got from ballroom dancin'."
Nope. I'm pretty sure someone's making milkshakes...
oh boo hoo cheese head, "i wanted to be the first to post, even though i have nothing relevant to say"
amanda, who are you calling a douche? you make no sense.
and belief, if you just want to waft around in the mysteriousness of everything, take some acid and go camping
urns out there was no need for the cups; she had it in backwards and no one even notic
Jesus!
7:30 a.m. and over 20 comments already!!?
and for what it's worth, I thought boneing was an act.
I'm guessing that her 'cup runneth over' and she, therefore, needed to fashion a new foundation garment.
One of my great grandmothers, just co-incidentally, used to be a "stripper" in a New England corset factory. I haven't looked up what that job entailed - and never knew this ancestor - but when I showed my mother the census entry listing the woman and her occupation, mom sort of chuckled.
At LEAST she spelled "sequins" correctly. When I was buying my wedding dress off of eBay, I was amazed at how many people think it's "sequence." Roll eyes here.
Oh, and for the record, I looked amazing and no one knew the dress was second hand--and then was donated to a community theatre and was even worn in Guys & Dolls a few years later. :)
Yay Stephanie. Way to recycle!
By the way, I will often intentionally search for items on eBay with misspellings in my search. You usually get a better deal because fewer people get the same result in their searches.
@ Librarian
As I have learned today, old corsets apparently involved whale bone. Would a "stripper" be the poor individual who had to "strip" the remaining flesh and cartilage from the bone?
Poor Great-Grandma! Tough life.
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: It rubs the Boning on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.
Catherine Martin: Mister... my family will pay cash. Whatever outfit you're askin' for, they'll make it.
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: It rubs the off white thread on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
[to his dog, Precious]
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: Yes, it will, Precious, won't it? It will get the hose!
Catherine Martin: Okay... okay... okay. Mister, if you let me go, I won't - I won't press charges I promise. See, my mom is a real good seamstress... I guess you already know that. And my dad quite a haberdasher himself.
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: Now it places the boob cups in the basket.
Catherine Martin: Please! Please I wanna go home! I wanna go home please!
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: It now places the sequins in the basket in the right sequence.
Catherine Martin: I wanna see my mommy! Please I wanna see my...
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: Put the fucking stuff in the basket I've got a corset to make!
@ Feeling ... could be (and I hope not). But I don't think I can search the necessary keywords from work (it's bad enough thinking someone's going to see the pictures of the American Apparel models over my shoulder).
At the same time, I should be able to find a book around here that describes 19th century manufacturing processes. Hmmmm. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
Feeling - thanks for the eBay tip. I have nothing interesting to say about this person's sewing list, but I'm pretty dang excited about that.
...someday ... somewhere...
"my great great grandmother was an american apparel ad stripper model"
Hahaha! Boob cups for milkshakes...good one, Sammy Davis JJ
Otherwise, I pictured something rather sexy was being constructed, maybe on one of those creepy dress form-thingys (no head)
I'm a daily Found reader and this was one of the few times where I understood the object immediately. Then again, I just made a corset last week, so "boning" still has that entirely wholesome implication in my mind. Unfortunately. Back to the gutter with me!

Nice handwriting.
Farmer made me laugh out loud and choke on my cereal. I, FYI, would also have no need for boob cups. A couple of pasties would suffice....
By "boob cups", I assume they mean my hands, right? They're always willing to do the job.
You know, sorta like the Janet album cover. I'm so there.
@ Highplainsdrifter... I almost inhaled a pistachio reading your "buffalo bill" post.
p.s. I think Farmer is pure genius.
Hands work for me. Better if the hands are covered with sequins
Sewing is an excellent skill to have. I highly recommend it. My mother taught me, and I wish I had taught my daughter. One of my friends (a man) who retired recently at the age of 66, is taking sewing lessons. Many people don't have time for it anymore, but it is an enjoyable pastime, and you can make really cool stuff, like costumes.
