This little mirror may not seem impressive, but for the people who adored them, they made a lovely scene even lovelier.
In the late 18th century, a Claude glass was used to look at beautiful scenery. To use the glass, you would come across a beautiful scene in nature and turn your back to it. You would open your Claude glass, framing “a picture, that if I could transmit it to you, & fix it in all the softness of its living colours. This is the sweetest scene I can yet discover in point of pastoral beauty.”
People in love with beauty would arm themselves with Claude glasses, tinted green, pink, blue or black to obscure and make the scene hazy and dream-like. Condensed into the tiny mirror, all subjects became the mythical realm of Shangri-la, a tiny spot of paradise to let your dreams take wing.
In the days before the camera, a Claude glass was the perfect and only way to capture and frame wild scenery.

Compared to 47% thinking that being gay is a choice. (http://www.queerty.com/47-of-america-thinks-being-gay-is-a-choice-and-yet-43-supports-gay-marriage-20091218/)

So yeah. I do this a lot. I have a double front underworks binder that I modified to be more like a tri-top, and is now epic.
But I have one from lesloveboat. Its a high front, velcro side, can’t remember which one it is to be specific. It’s okay though because I’m pretty sure this is a general problem with all binders like this.
The seam on the right side of the binder, so opposite the velcro, is two sperate seams, one from the inside layer and one from the outside, both facing each other. But that’s it, they face each other, they aren’t attached. Okay so what does this mean? This means that the stretchy fabric of the back and front of said binder allows for extra stretch and less binding. With mine I notice it taking a curved shape, making for more boob shape and less flat man chest.
So heres what I’m gonna do about this: Stitch the damned seams together! It’ll help give it a stronger bind. I also had to attach some extra velcro to the side because while it fits it’s just a touch too large so a small strip of extra velcro fixed that.
In my quest to make better binders I end up fixing issues on existing models. Go figure. lol. Hope that made sense to anyone who reads it.
