Solomon’s lovely wild witch girlfriend, Lorelei! Unsure how old she is, in the first two she’s maybe 16-17ish, maybe a young lookin 18? And then the other two she’s maybe like early 20s. Who knows lol. Some edwardian clothing bc. Fun. And also Sol’s kinda early-ish in the grim-line? Tbh his time might be closer to the BI’s equivalent to like, victorian, but look i dont know shit about Boiling Isles history and time periods and if anyone has a good source for that PLS give. Anyway enjoy: woman.
im not sure how many historical costumers are on here but this is the only place i can ask. so i’ve made a lot of eras (georgian, regency, victorian, and edwardian) and for some reason the latter two mess up my brain if i try to wear them. i don’t like how my 1860s ensemble looks on me but i think that it might be how my face shape looks with the hair/bonnet/collar combined so at least that one might have an explanation, but i’m stuck on edwardian. i love how i look in the undergarments, but once i put on the blouse and skirt i have 30 minutes max before i am on the verge of crying and have to get it off immediately. not really sure why, maybe i feel fat in it for some reason and i (teenage girl) have self image issues? anyways i’m really sad since i’ve spent so much time/money on the costumes and i can’t even bear to wear them around my house. has anyone had similar problems? should i try other styles of clothing from the same era? should i just stick to eras like regency and georgian? pls help
