The dress is functionally done but now i have to do applique by hand and all ive gotten done in the last 2 hrs is the skirt 😭

(I still have to deal with raw edge but wtv ill do that later)

1770S HAT

tore apart a thrift store hat and now im one step closer to finishing my capsule wardobe (i still need a jacket 😔)

[fabric-whore]

I knew these sleeves would be big but HOLY SLEEVE BATMAN

(Its not even fully floofed here)

I initially gathered them and then realized the cotton just collapsed under its own weight so i added some tuule

It helped to say the least

[fabric-whore]

Picture doesnt do it justice but a scrappy looking skirt! The underlayer is a cotton net and im going to add more patches and fabric strips arounf the waistband like the pink lace

[fabric-whore]

Unlocked a new hairstyle

The transistion point is kinda meh but i love the vibes

Whenever i make my rag skirt this'll look cool with it i think

[fabric-whore]

Added a train, hook? Wtv the wrist strap version is

The actual loop is small and not super visible so that i can detach the wrist strap easy peasy

(Also the trim really blends the front panel into the side panels)

[fabric-whore]

Balayeuse!! I running stitched it into the skirt, so it is easily removable

Other skirt update, added canvas to the hem at the front and sides, the teeny pulling around the waist i might not touch mostly cuz i so not want to unpick the waistband

And i have a pocket!!! It is massive and can fit 4 pairs of scissors with plenty more space for my phone, wallet, keys, and stolen candy

[fabric-whore]

HAHAHAHA IT WORKEDDD

Its not pulling anymore and i have more volume in the hem on fhe side >:]

The magic gore

So i shouldve seen this coming based on how freaking wide my side panel is but i think if i add a gore into the side itll ease that tension?

Technically speaking this is not a 1890s skirt pattern but it was giving enough vibes to try it

Plus if i add a gore then ill have more volume at the side hem which im severely lacking

[fabric-whore]

So it REALLY wanted to spread, i cut out some gores that i think will work. This got rid of nearly all the tension points except

here

So ill unpick a little of the waistband and move the skirt up a little, i think that will fix that

1890s bustle pad!

[fabric-whore]

Petticoat! (I need to do the closure but wtv

The fabric is very drapey so i sewed a strip of canvas into the hem and it holds its shape a little better!

Ill edit the pattern a little bit to make the front panel narrower so i can gather all the fabric to the back on the final skirt

Next tho, bustle pad

Some terribly drawn reference pictures for a vampire 1890s ball. evening gown and menswear

I have 2 months to make a dress from a decade I've never done before, and try to fake a 1890s menswear suit, because I refuse to learn mens tailoring in that short amount of time

Bf's fit: Tophat, edit a jacket into tail coat, necktie, shirt, detachable collar, edit a waistcoat

My fit: petticoat (might need 2, we'll see), bodice (built on my overbust corset), sleeves, skirt, dust ruffle

[fabric-whore]

Hip bag! I wore my black goth skirt and realized I had NOWHERE to put my phone (i had already shoved my wallet and ear protection in my boots there was no room) so this is to go under my shorter skirts that don't have pockets!

It doesn't exactly make my phone super accessible but at least I have it on me

[fabric-whore]

Bloomers! Honestly I just wanted some and I whipped them up in like, 3-4 hours. Obvi some tweaks will be made if I ever make them again but I am IN LOVE with the waist band omg I'm forever doing that

[fabric-whore]

Bra2

The issue with bra 1 is that I used normal hooks and eyes and they came apart SO easily

For this one I harvested the hardware off of some old dead bras and used the whole closure so it doesn't unlatch on me in the middle of the day

NEW 1870S DRESS (yes I still have to finish handsewing the trim and the bow, sue me)

I rlly wanted to use the patterned fabric i had in my stash and the trim just happened to go really well with it!

I might add some ruffles at the back hem (I'm lying i don't have the patience for that rn) but I'm rlly happy with it!
