My Hula-hoop

I finished my bustier today! Here's the bad news....I didn't have enough yarn to make a bustier so I was just going to make it into a girdle (like the pirate wenches wear.) So I bound off and got ready to try on my latest and greatest creation. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a gauge problem! My fitted girdle is the size of a hula-hoop. A pink and gold, glittery hula-hoop. Apparently I didn't measure as carefully as I thought I did before I started! Oh well, maybe now I will be able to make the full bustier after all....back to the drawing board.
