🌻❤️Josephine Coombes Harrington, Welcome to the family❤️🌻

Colored Photos & Subtitles Below:

Friday, 1907 Dear Journal,

Today started early with Mama rousing me and Pa before the sun for Si's wedding. Si, true to form, seemed uninterested, bored even, as we made our way to the church yard.

Despite a soggy autumn, today turned unexpectedly pleasant. Clear skies, a welcome break from the week's thunderstorms. However, I think Ma is stressed, she kept nagging about walking with my skirt up to avoid dragging it through the mud....

The ceremony was small, Only Josephine's parents and Jackson with his fancy wife, bothered to show. I tried my best to focus on Mama's words from yesterday, And I could see why Jackson favored her.

Skinny, porcelain pale, dripping in expensive jewelry....everything I am not. However, as Josephine graced us with her entrance, any inkling of comparison vanished.

Radiance enveloped her, surpassing the boundaries of mere beauty. She embodied something ethereal. A sunlight aura surrounded her, and I found myself akin to a sunflower, unable to avert my gaze.

Even Si seemed genuinely happy, I saw him smile from ear to ear, he clasped her soft delicate hands, and caressed her cheek.

It was a sight to see, physical or emotional affection have never been his forte, not even in our childhood.

He was initially furious with Pa over the prospect of marrying Josephine. I remember his enraged shouts, echoing from the parlor.

Confidentially, Journal, I've noticed his practiced performance of donning the façade of a gentleman and a devoted son, particularly when in Mr. Coombes' presence.

Whether genuine or an act, my earnest prayer is for him to treat Josephine with the respect she deserves. I hold a genuine fondness for her, and I welcome her warmly into our family.

Lucile Harrington

Modesty was the theme for the Edwardian bride and the aim was to be covered entirely from the neck down. Necklines were high, gloves were long and ruffles covered every surface. Dresses were typically made from chiffon over satin, cotton or silk and detail was added via embroidery and lace.

At the start of the century the ready-to-wear industry was in its early days. Most bridal dresses at the time were hand sewn, either by the woman herself, a female family member or by a paid dressmaker. It was also quite common for women of more modest means to simply wear their "best dress" when getting married as the expenditure for a one-off gown was rarely justifiable. By mid-decade department stores in major cities began advertising ready-made gowns for brides with a more limited budget.

Edwardian bridesmaid dresses reflected the style of early 20th century women's fashions, most noticeably characterized by an s-shaped silhouette, blousy sleeves and full skirt. Similar to brides, bridesmaid gowns were made from delicate fabrics like cotton, linen and lace and incorporated feminine details such as ruffles, bows and ribbons. Popular colours included pastel hues in blues, greens and pinks, as well as soft and romantic patterns such as florals. CC links under the cut.

Zipporah's Vest & Audition Dresses - BGC

In honor of May being Jewish American Heritage Month, I wanted to make a couple of outfits inspired by Zipporah Feldman from the Dear America diary Dreams in the Golden Country. Zippy is a Russian Jewish immigrant who settles in New York City and discovers a passion for Yiddish theatre. 

If you remember several months ago, I made a poll with various decades. The 1900s won, but I just couldn’t settle on a project idea. Six months later, I present my 3k followers gift!

These outfits come from the made-for-TV adaptation that I used to watch all the time as a kid on VHS (yes, I am that old). The dress on the left is styled various ways, but I liked it best with the collar down and vest. There is a little wonkiness on the sleeve meshes, but it's hard to tell from the front. The dress on the right is what she wears during a theatre audition, hence the name. The canon swatch doesn't show the details as well as most of the others. I made T-E and child versions of each dress.

Swatches are in my Combined Diary palette, plus Mothz patterns and @trillyke's plaids and patterns.

"You… had me."

Josephine's lip quivered as she spoke, "I don’t have anything, Lucie. I have a husband."

"My family doesn’t even respond to my letters... The only connection I get is through Silas, who helps my father keep tabs on me."

"I was sent away for years and then immediately handed over like livestock to your family."

Lucile gently reached out, her hand lightly touching Josephine's arm. Josephine continued, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"You need time to think of the right words? Maybe I would need time to figure out how to live without my best friend!"

Lucile’s heart sank. In her mourning, she had been unknowingly selfish. These past months had been difficult for Josephine too: the wedding, the farming, caring for her parents, living with Silas, complying with his demands, and still finding time to check on her...

"Josie... I’ve been so selfish."

"I had no idea," Lucile whispered, "I wish you had told me. I could have been there for you."

Lucile stepped forward, looking down, caressing her hands while Josephine stifled her sniffles to reply. "Perhaps I’m at fault as well. I didn’t want to put any more pressure on you… You were already so wracked with worry."

Josephine lovingly stroked Lucile's fingers. "If we ever see each other again… I hope we can talk more."

The word "if" struck Lucile painfully, a sharp pang in her heart. If was right; this might be the last time she ever saw or heard Josephine. An overwhelming fear gripped her. Should she risk ruining the moment further?

Without hesitation, Lucile reached up, brushing wet strands of hair from Josephine's face.

"Josephine, you are the last person I wanted to leave behind. I dreaded this every day since Mama and Papa's passing."

"You’ve been my first thought every morning. You’ve filled my mind at the most inopportune times, to the point where I could hardly think or work properly."

Her fingers tightened around Josephine’s. "You have been the shining sun in my life, the only thing that’s kept me going."

Josephine caught her breath, her hand suddenly pulling back.

"You make me feel akin to a sunflower," Lucile continued, her eyes softening. "If I were to lose sight of you for too long, my heart would cease to beat, and I would wither away."

"Please forgive me. "

" I was scared of disappointing someone I love so dearly."

Josephine stepped away, her gaze downcast at the soaked grass. A long moment of silence followed, filled only with the sound of the rain and the soft huff from Lady as she shook her head and stomped her hoof.

Thinking any hope of reconciliation was surely gone, Lucile turned to leave, feeling the sting of rejection, Josephine suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Lucile, wait!"

"In the kitchen’s left cabinet, that’s where we keep the good silver. It’ll fetch a good price."

" I couldn’t- " "Silas would only take his anger out on you for not stopping me."

" Nonsense. "

" We’ll be long gone before he even realizes we’ve left."

LETS GOOOO GODDD Do you have an idea how long I've been itching to have these sims have their first kiss. literally months. The slow burn game play was so worth it tho, I'm excited for what comes next. It's funny how this ended up being able to post in pride month! HAPPY PRIDE :D

Autumn, 1900

Winifred had sat at her desk all evening after dismissing herself early from dinner. Perhaps, for anyone else, this would have been queer behavior, but for a writer such as herself, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Her family was used to her abruptly dashing away from them to jot down an idea, typically followed by locking herself in her study for hours on end. But on this evening, each stroke of her quill had proven to be utterly useless, and somewhere deep down inside she knew it was because she wished she didn’t have to be writing these words. But did she have any other option? Her co-workers were accepting of her frequent tardiness and forgetfulness, and even her more outlandish ideas for the next headline, but they certainly wouldn’t want some pregnant spinster working for them; least of all JJ.  For months, she had prayed she would miraculously get her monthlies, that she had been wrong about the little one growing inside her. But, as each day passed, and she was yet bleed, it became clear she was with child again. As she sat there with her head in her hands, tears spilled over onto the page she had written explaining her 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 from The Daily. If only there were another way...

transcript below the cut

<quill scraping>

Lawrence: There you are. I thought I might find you here <tik-tok, tik-tok> Winifred: Oh my, I hadn't notice the time

Lawrence: Should I not expect you to come to bed soon, then? Winifred: <sighing> I don't think so Lawrence: They work you to hard there, Winifred Don't they know I miss my wife?

Winifred: Wait...Lawrence Stop, stop I can't do this right now

Winifred: I'm sorry, I'm still not feeling well is all Lawrence: <nods> I understand Should we send for a doctor? It's been awhile now... Winifred: <shakes head> No, no. I'll be fine. Just a bit of nausea, that's all. And I truly do have work to do Lawrence: Do let me know if it gets worse. And if you're not feeling better in a few weeks, I think you should reconsider

NARRATION Lawrence places a gentle kiss on top of Winifred's head before departing. She waits to break down until she hears their bedroom door shut.

Winifred: Oh, god... What am I going to do?

Treat #2 : The Reformer

This treat is a set inspired by the Dress reform movement (a bit of the Aesthetic movement too, lots of overlap between these two) from the 1895 to the late 1900s.

More pics and download below

It includes the following CC items :

Like the Aesthetic movement, the Reform dress movement dates back to the mid 1800's. It aimed at making women garments less constricting (for reasons varying from praticality, political leanings, supposed health downsides of corsets...). It was linked to feminism especially at the start and gave birth to the bloomers in 1851 for example.

Reform dress usually involved making it so that the main weight of the clothing would be carried by the shoulders and torso instead of solely the waist and thus get rid of the corset and masses of underskirts, to establish a "more practical type of dress that would facilitate a physical and productive life". This resulted most times in flowy dress, usually tea gowns. Like previously mentionned there's a big overlap between reform and aesthetic dresses since the medieval and antique (and even sometimes regency) influences fited the less structured reform dress silhouette of the late 1800's / early 1900's.

Once again this type of clothing wasn't well considered by the society at large, it took hold in specific artistic spheres such as the one surrounding the Wiener Werksträtte (a viennese artist association of which Emilie Flöge was a part of, the artwork is truly fascinating and very influencial look it up !).

This type of dress was so unconventional that apparently, the painter Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (who might I add painted prostitutes and such on the daily) was scandalised by Maria Sèthe Van de Velde's appearance when she welcomed him in a tea gown (see the blue tea gown below for reference) which he mistook for a dressing gown. I feel like this little anecdote helps to put things into perspective.
