I know I posted these stays before, but I'm just so in love with them lol
Tumblr media
Here we have a lil corset top in the same orange linen from the Pumpkin Spice stays. Tbh, I had enough of this fabric left to make a second pair of stays, but I went with a corset top instead and now I kind of regret it :/
Tumblr media
And now for my newest pattern!!! I've gained a bit of weight and haven't been able to model many of the items I've made lately. So I decided to draft a new pattern, and really wanted to try making strapless stays. Part of this was just so I could wear my work again, but also because I'd like to start offering custom work (maybe this year?) and I figured it would be easier to do strapless stays so I don't have to stress about accidentally making the straps too short/long.
Tumblr media
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how these turned out! Though I will be making a few changes to this pattern. Changes include making the bottom of the center front and the first 3 tabs just a little bit longer, making the curve on the underarm a little more dramatic, and shortening the last 3 tabs. These have been quite a challenge for me to make, so I welcome any constructive criticism!
All three of these items are for sale and you can check them out on my Etsy store. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and visiting my shop!

In 2019 I made a short gown after Jean Honore Fragonard's "Love Letter" painting.

so this is my drawing mock-up for my halloween costume this year. i'm going to a party this weekend and wanted to impress
OKAY so the boots are heeled riding boots I dropped a pretty penny on last year for my Cruella costume. I don't remember where I bought them but the brand in the boot says "Forever" (wow how helpful). The fangs are these smaller prosthetics from Spirit. I also bought larger fangs but they looked and felt so wonky in my mouth. definitely looked less realistic and were difficult to talk with.
I didn't want to sew a corset so I bought one online that was cheap(er than others) and actually so good for how little i spent. I have a 34" bust and 30" waist, I wear women's medium (US) usually, but bought a large because I know how these corsets tend to fit and there were no reviews. Keep in mind that I didn't tighten the straps because I was excitedly throwing all the pieces on, but a large is perfect for me:

forgive my messy i-work-every-day-and-take-classes bedroom.
That above photo is a wip, I have some fishnets, spray blood, and earrings. Gonna put my hair up best I can to mimic an 18th century updo (my hair's shoulder length as you can see :/) and i'm gonna powder it. will probably touch up the color too, because my roots have grown out quite a bit. i have the choker, already had the gloves from Spirit a few years back.
the workable piece here is that short nightdress I picked up at Goodwill for $6. It's a little long (knee length) so it's pinned in the photo. i'm on the fence about using the sheet lacy stuff for sleeves, because it would look gorgeous asf. but also i like the sheer over the under skirt, also would need another layer if i DID use it for sleeves because the white is so see-through. on the fence.

here's the very first drawing i did before purchasing the corset, babydoll chemise, choker, teeth, fishnets, etc.
i decided from there i wanted a more 18th century (albeit not quite so modest) look. didn't want any of those curvy bodice corsets that are more late 19th/early 20th century. I wore one of those for the Cruella costume and it was not my cup of tea. it was a cheaper corset but i didn't like that i wore it as a corset-top without anything underneath. it also bent weirdly and i wasn't very flexible in it. here's the fit below, cropped the person beside me because i didn't want to violate their privacy
Tumblr media
my costume this year is pretty last minute because i only decided to even go to the party a few days ago. i ordered the corset and made a couple trips to Spirit and Goodwill, and decided to recycle what i could from Cruella.
here's the second drawing where I decided i wanted puffed sleeves instead of the awkward hanging ones, and drew my hair in an updo.
Tumblr media
and finally as i've acquired some costume pieces i morphed it into this drawing here:
Tumblr media
it's pretty cohesive, i think, and seeing myself in it even though it's not complete is AWESOME. i can't wait to show off the final results.

18th century costume is in the making! Here's the petticoat.
(fabric is not accurate to the times. I found it at a thrift store, meters of it. So too good to not use it for something costume related, right?)
