Kim K wearing Monroe's dress was unnecessary and so inappropriate on multiple levels.

With all due respect...wtf wtf wtf!!

I just.

I cannot.

If you want to wear a privately-owned historical garment, that's on you. Especially one from as late as the 1960s. I wouldn't take any issue with it if it were like...a couture gown she borrowed from a collector. I'd think she should have used some of her vast fortune to get a dress that fit, but that's all.

However. We have collectively, as a culture, decided that Marilyn Monroe was an iconic American artist and her clothing is worth preserving. THERE-FUCKING-FORE...

Honestly, I'm with many textile conservationists and dress historians who worry that this will set a dangerous precedent. Are the rich and careless now going to demand museums let them wear original pieces to parties, en masse? And will said museums be able- and be led always by people who are willing -to put ethics before potential large donations and/or the fear of social fallout from the people whose money keeps the lights on?

I'm genuinely concerned about the answer.

(which isn't even getting INTO the whole diet thing, and the disrespect to Marilyn's memory, and the many other issues present)

#ask #imthemuthafuckingcricket #met gala #museum work #like gods know ~I've~ worn originals #and a sight older than the Marilyn dress #not usually outer garments- mostly petticoats and trims #and tons of period jewelry #I have one Edwardian blouse I put on once in a blue moon for photos and then immediately remove #BUT. those are my garments I own. not museum pieces held in trust for the public to learn from and admire

... sometimes I hyper fixate on a sewing project and then I accidentally stay up to 2 in the morning and lose my will to live.

But on the bright side

I finished my Edwardian petticoat!

And really I'm saying Edwardian because I used the petticoat pattern in Agnus Walkers manual to needle work. But it seems to be pretty neutral, I could probably get 15 years of fashion with it which is very exciting

(ignore the chalk I need to wash it)

I put hooks and eyes on a placket but I feel like I could take those ones off as it's a layer no one will see plus it stays closed by itself.

A list of things I sewed in 2022

Last year I compiled a list of the things I sewed in 2021, except for some reason, I made the list in November so it missed some of the stuff I made at the end of the year, like my reversible apron and the cottagecore/modernized chemise a la reine, among others.

So this year, I figured I’d actually do my year of sewing in review at the actual end of the year. (Btw I have no idea if these are actually in chronological order. This is just the order I found them in on my blog, which is the order in which I photographed them.)

First, a needle holder made from scraps of fabric from old projects, because I was just keeping all my needles in plastic cases and desperately needed a better way to organize them.

Then I made a short underbust c0rset I drafted myself by tweaking the fit issues I had from the previous c0rset I made and self-drafted in 2021. That previous c0rset was based on a dress pattern that I got by tracing one of my dresses that I then used to make the silk satin dress I wore to a friend’s wedding. (Yes, this c0rset was made with the same navy blue silk satin I used for the dress. No, the two projects have nothing to do with each other, as the dress was not made to be worn over a c0rset.) It has a zipper front and laces completely up in the back since it’s not meant for waist reduction. I use it as a back brace for days at work when I’m expecting to spend a lot of time standing.

Then there were the first regency shift, short stays, and partially bodiced petticoat that I made and never got around to using for anything because the silhouette wasn’t right for the 1810-1815 era gown I want to make. I still have them hanging in my closet for when I finally get around to making something from the earlier 1790s-1805 era. The partially bodiced petticoat is absolutely necessary because I made the stays a little too long and they rise above the mid-bust level and make lines. The shift works fine for this set of stays, but it’s just a tad tight in the bust to work with later stays that lift the bustline much higher.

Because the regency short stays weren’t the right shape and height for the 1810s look I was aiming for, I made another set of regency stays after that. This I made and immediately hated because the silhouette was all wrong. I used the Bernhardt pattern but didn’t get the bust and hip gusset shapes right, and I used bias tape for binding, instead of straight grain binding, so the whole top edge stretched out and flattened my bust instead of lifting it. I also found out that the Bernhardt stays pattern just inherently doesn’t work if you have scoliosis at the level of your spine where you take the measurements needed for scaling this pattern. These stays are now in my scrap bag because I harvested the boning and lacing from them for the new and improved pair (discussed below but not pictured, for decency reasons).

After that came the historybounding Victwardian shirtwaist and skirt that I made this summer. The floral skirt is a calf-length full circle skirt with a pleated back and is my absolute favorite skirt in my wardrobe, if only for the sheer amount of work that went into making it. The only issue is that I miscalculated when I was cutting out the waistband, so it ended up about 1 inch too short. It’s still wearable though, and I don’t mind it too much because the slightly tighter waistband means that the weight of the back pleats won’t drag the back of the waistband down. Alas, I don’t wear it all that often because I spend all of my waking hours either in a hospital where I wear scrubs or in a doctor’s office where people cough on stuff. While the skirt is machine washable, it’s a nightmare to iron, and the sateen weave warps with every wash. The blouse I’m much less fond of because it’s too poofy for daily wear, and the lace collar is annoying to deal with because it somehow manages to gape and choke me at the same time.

Then I took apart my purple floral skirt from 2021 and remade it because I have control issues and perfectionism issues and there is a long list of problems I had with the original skirt and wanted to fix:

Because my first attempt at a Victwardian shirtwaist was only minimally successful, I took another attempt at a historybounding blouse, this time with a Peter Pan collar and tucks instead of lace. I did go back and reposition the sleeve gathers after taking this picture. Still not entirely happy with the sleeves because I prefer 3/4 length or elbow length sleeves, so I tend to roll these up when I wear them. Also not entirely happy with the positioning of the collar. I feel like it should be higher up on the neck and sloped, not flat against the collarbone area, so I kind of want to make a set of detachable Peter Pan collars that I can wear with different outfits.

Then in August-September, I made the Capetember cape while working inpatient for a month. I didn’t end up wearing this one as much as I thought I would, mostly because it’s too short to curl up and wrap myself up to lounge in. But it did keep me warm for the like 2 slightly chilly days of autumn we had this year. Next time I’m including arm slits for practicality.

My first attempt at Edwardian/late Victorian combinations took 2 solid weeks. The combinations themselves didn’t take all that long to assemble or drape on myself, but what sucked up most of that time was the amount of hand embroidering I took upon myself to do because I couldn’t find the right kind of beading lace to go on the waistband and leg cuffs. The combinations are based on the extant from the Met. I think I ended up making the straps too short because it’s not blousing at the waist quite right. The waistband lace is pretty, but it’s too bulky to wear under c0rsets, and I cut the buttonholes too narrow for the ribbon to come through without puckering and folding on itself. The drawers overall are just not full enough and bunch too much in certain places, so if I ever make this again, I’m going to try the Laura Baldt Clothing for Women circular drawers pattern instead. I would also go for a thinner, drapey-er fabric next time.

Then I made another c0rset. This time it’s an Edwardian S-bend c0rset based on the Aranea Black Tulip pattern. It’s made from a heavy cotton canvas with an outer layer of silk shantung. It’s also the first c0rset I’ve made thus far that actually has a metal split busk, which makes getting in and out of it way faster. It still needs some hip padding to fit properly, so that’s going to have to be a project for next year.

The S-bend c0rset doesn’t actually fit without a bust improver, which I made from stash/scrap fabric based on the LACMA extant:

And then I finally circled back to the regency era to make a new set of stays to redeem myself. They’re definitely an improvement on the old pair, but I can’t post pictures because it’s an underbust design, and the historically inaccurate cotton voile shift I’m wearing under them is completely sheer. So you’re just going to have to enjoy this photo of the new fully bodiced petticoat that I also made around that time and am wearing over it for modesty. (You can also barely see how the shift is just ever so slightly compressing my bust down because the new stays lift it into a higher position than the shift has room for.)

And then, since I was in the business of doing everything twice when it comes to regency costuming, I made another regency shift. This one is made from 100% linen (but probably not as sturdy as 19th century linen). It makes for a really comfy nightgown too.

And then, I finally got started on the regency gown project that I keep referencing but never got off my butt to do this year. I managed to embroider and finish the bodice before the end of 2022, so I’m including it on this list even though the gown is still nowhere near finished. (Using my hand as a censor bar because my new 1810s stays are really good at lifting the bust, and my new shift was being Opinionated today and didn’t want to help contain it.) The final gown will have a front bib panel that’s attached to the apron front skirt and will cover everything that’s currently threatening to spill out of the neckline of my shift.

Not included in photos because I didn’t think they were worth photographing:

a seam roll I made from scraps of the purple floral and black and white chair slipcover fabrics

a set of fabric face masks I made from the last scraps of the same two fabrics. I haven’t worn them all that much, though, since they tend to fog my glasses and I prefer the regular blue masks

a couple of polyester satin half-slips that I made to wear under my skirts so they don’t cling to my tights when I walk

a mousepad I made for a coworker’s birthday

a wine tote and matching coasters I made for another coworker’s birthday

a couple of floral embroidery pieces I made for two other coworkers’ birthdays

an apron I made as a going-away present for a former coworker’s graduation

a fleece blanket I made for my cat

a pocket I sewed into the inside of my whitecoat so I could have my iPad on my person while rounding in the hospital without worrying about accidentally leaving it in a patient room

a newer, bigger, studier tote bag to replace the one I made in 2021 (nothing happened to the old one, I just wanted a bigger bag for work)

an alteration I made to improve the fit of a dress I’ve owned since 2017 that had since shrunk in the wash and was too tight in the shoulder area

an Edwardian dip waist belt I made from the same floral fabric I used for the skirt above

Overall, this looks like a pretty good list for someone who sews exclusively by hand. With 33 projects/items made, and me working 12 weeks of inpatient shifts in the past year, I’m basically averaging about 1 project per week on the weeks that I have the energy for creative pursuits.

Looking back, it seems like about half the things I made this year were 1800s-1810s and 1900s underwear that no one is ever going to see. Hopefully I’ll get around to making actual clothes to go over these pieces in the coming new year.

"vintage made to order" made to order means it's new, bitch

"vintage-inspired" okay WHAT vintage??? is the style victorian gothic??? 70s disco?? medieval??????? "vintage" isn't an era you dumb bastard

"vintage pre-2010" I am going to beat you to death with a calendar

"vintage-looking" you mean broken?? you mean cracked??? you mean "might be original or a recreation but I can't tell"? you mean "I got it for 2 dollars at a thrift store and will now try to pass it off as a valuable antique for 200"?????????

#I am experiencing the Rage #I like buying from small creators but gods etsy is just a bog of shit marketing right now isn't it #sellers be like it's a vintage regency item and then it's plastic glued to polyester #conversely try finding good recreation garments and it's like I can buy this original edwardian petticoat for 20 bucks #or a handmade recreation for 140 and like #maybe we have surplus of genuine antique garments floating around but I think people are just finding shit at goodwill #and making up lies

Two months I finally was able to get help for my mental health. The new medication is helping really well but it's still going to be a long hall.

So since I'm feeling better I decided to sew a skirt that's been waiting for me. I needed a petticoat to get the right shape first though. I figured fabric with vintage sewing images on it would be perfect!

And now to sew the actual skirt once my cats stops sleeping on it.

No, Millie Bobby Brown, corsets were not "symbols of oppression." You literally cannot wear historical costumes without the proper undergarments. The purpose of corsets were to support the bust and give structure to heavy layers of skirts and petticoats. They weren't literally made out of whale "bones" and women in the working class wore them ALL THE TIME. They wore undergarments that allowed them freedom of movement. Hell, we know women started doing SPORTS and rode bikes by the middle of the 19th century, so corsets were nearly as restrictive as Hollywood writers paint them to be.

I fucking hate "historical" dramas that always make corsets to be the bad guys as if there weren't a million other reasons why women had fewer rights.

#not fanfiction #i hate modern “historic” dramas because they always have something stupid to say about corsets #the whole "i'm not like other Victorian/Edwardian girls #go off I guess but your dress is going to look really saggy and not fit right #if only there was a structural undergarment you could wear that supported the weight of all those petticoats and skirts?

This Vietwardian socialite, armed with a letter opener that is sharper than strictly necessary, is prepared to stab the next person who tries her patience. Her gown is inspired by a classic áo dài, but with an Edwardian train and cold-shoulder lace sleeves. The black bobbinet overlay retains the raglan line of an áo dài, combined with a sweetheart neckline. The body panels are linen damask draped over a structured under-bodice, embroidered and beaded with glass jet and cut steel. Rather than traditional trousers, the gown is worn over a frilly black cotton petticoat. The gold bib necklace is inspired by traditional Vietnamese kiềng, particularly the beautiful styles worn by the Hmong, and Art Nouveau enameled jewelry. Her khăn đóng is cloth of gold. She is framed and haloed by pale yellow and pink chrysanthemums.

I finally finished this piece!

my adopts for Mansion29! they've all found good homes...

[ID] Four chibi character designs:

Lucid Thoughts is a pink tulpa with white hair, fairy and angel wings on their head and back, as well as puffy queenlike regalia reminiscent of strawberries and cream. They wear a strawberry-shaped crown on their head, strawberry-shaped puffed sleeves adorned with pearls, sheer cream stockings and a cream colored bustle with red underlining.

Sandy Manifesto is a purple and pink alien-like office worker wearing a partially unbuttoned dark purple shirt, light peach argyle sweater, mustard yellow socks, and dark purple leather shoes. They carry a purple plastic tumbler with colorful steam coming from its spout, as well as an hourglass packaged like a messenger bag and filled with purple sand.

Doubella Donna is a pale, red-eyed, smiling woman dressed like an Edwardian Mourning Widow in a deep purple dress. Her fascinator is shaped like a pale mask, with purple roses, a golden hatpin and sheer lace veil adorning her purple hair. Her pale fingers hover delicately over the surface of a floor-length mirror, but where her visage should be reflected there is instead a cracked and hollow-eyed doll.

Unheard Prayers dons the visage of a Mother Mary Statue- a pale, cracked marble woman in a blue and gold dress, with gilded halos adorning her head, and marble angels making up her gilded skirt. Underneath the golden, cage-like petticoats, though, peeks out its true form- a large, blue demon, whose only visible features are two of its four yellow eyes, and blue arms topped with golden claws.

☆Update 2:☆

I remembered to take pics today! Sort of. Only after i had put away my machines and stuff...

Here are (most) of my edwardian undergarments

(i am wearing modern clothes under bcs the internet is weird)

Chemise, bustle pad, underbust corset, petticoat

I still need to make a corset cover someday, ive just been using a second thin chemise over all this:

I used these vintage buttons on the cuffs. I wanted some more security but ran out of buttons so i used small snaps:

Also put one on the collar so i could try it on. I think the placket at the back of the blouse is a little ugly and larger than ive seen in extant garments but i forgot to adjust the pattern for my broad shoulders and need the extra width for comfort.

I tried on the blouse and skirt together:

I may need to loosen the waistband of the skirt, the corset is a bit bulkier than i thought itd be. Also the blouse is just stuffed into the skirt and currently only has one closure on at the collar so it looks a little bit disproportionate. The belt/sash will help smooth everything out so i dont look like im drowning in voile.

I might go without the bustle pad during the final shoot because i think it gives too much volume in the waist/hip area for edwardian tastes. Its from an 1890s pattern, so the silhouette is a bit out of date. I should probably try the skirt on without the pad before extending the waistband though.

Im pretty happy with how the sleeves turned out! I have some vintage nottingham lace i bought on etsy from penelope textiles that i was going to add to another project. I think ill sew some different laces together and add it to the cuffs to elongate them a bit. Since this dress is supposed to be from roughly 1905, i want the sleeves to look as they wouldve in that time. The photos ive seen mostly feature large ruffles at the ends of elbow-length sleeves but i dont think ill be likely to wear ruffles very often. Ive also seen tighter cuffs that extend from the elbow to mid-forearm or from the elbow to wrist. I think the elbow-length sleeves are a feature of afternoon dresses but i could be wrong. Maybe that was just day dresses? Not sure.

Im also not sure if i want to get gloves/a hat/parasol for this project. On one hand, it would look really cool for the video. On the other hand, it sounds quite expensive and i doubt ill wear it again. I dont want to buy things i wont use and create waste, theres enough of that in fashion. I have a pink 1900s parasol that i might cover with black fabric, but idk.

There isnt much left to do! Im gonna make a list here so i have it written somewhere:

-sew snaps onto blouse

-finish blouse hem

-attatch lace cuffs

-press pleats on sash/belt

-order synthetic whalebones

-add bones, hook/bars to belt

This is just the sewing tasks though, i need to edit the video clips and record audio. I have no idea how to do any of this. I just downloaded davinci video editor so hopefully i can figure it out. The only experience i have with video making/editing was in 3rd grade on ipads on the imovie app. Ive just been binge watching bernadette banner videos bcs i love her video style.

Any tips/feedback are much appreciated! ♡
