bbc ghosts modern au!!

making up their outfits was really fun (especially kitty and thomas, he would look great in skirt)

[sergle]

idk if this is a question for you or for Maya Kern or if it's even a polite thing to ask (I'm sorry if it's not!!) but like. have you ever considered/would it be possible to do skirts with the pattern covering the entire thing, rather than just around the base of the skirt? I love love love your pattern art and I was just thinking that the tomato pattern in particular would be sooooo extra cute as a seamless pattern covering all the fabric 💕

firstly: totally an okay thing to ask!! I don't mind skirt questions at all, I think this kind of thing is probably okay to throw at either of us, but her inbox is frequently blowing up! I've made mostly hem designs so far, but I absolutely do wanna make some skirts w allover patterns!!!! adapting the tomatoes (and maybe other designs?) into pattern grids is something that I think could be so fun. the tomatoes in particular, I thought this was such a good idea so I did a mockup for it:

so that's not a greenlight for putting it on clothes-- but it's a fun good idea that i want to keep in mind for later, because I *do* like the loop :3 aside from that, i already do have some skirts in my mind that are all-over designs, though they aren't traditional pattern loops! these were some skirt drafts from my last batch of pitches, and maya helped me pick a couple of the landscape designs that i'm workshopping!! so there's also that!

I made Miss Beatrice Bear a pair of bloomers out of a scrap of flannel and discovered there is no good way I can find to take a photo of bloomers on a bear plushie

I want... to draw... Legend............. in cute outfits

but that means drawing

and sitting still working on one thing for hours at a time

and if I do it on paper it won't turn out right

but if I do it on the computer than I have to colour it

and colouring is my achillies heel

I can't T-T

Fuck it another Mia rant but um

I need her to be a lesbian sososooso bad

"Oh but the arrowfam already has one gay character-" THEY ALL SHOULD BE GAY

but at least Mia (and if the batfam gets two so does the arrowfam)

"But what about dodger" um uh... comphet. While I think it was important to show an HIV+ character in a... "healthy" relationship uh. I don't like him. I know Mia was 18 atp but iirc he was like 27 and I find that weird. Also he cheated on her. (Tbh I think he was just an excuse to get rid of her for a couple issues.)

But you can put her in a healthy lesbian relationship too. (And erase dodger cause I hate him)

"But with who, Cowpoke?" Uh. Uh. Make a new girl for her to be toxic Yuri with. (It'd be hilarious to me if she was an Amazon cause. Homophobmia)

And that's another thing! Her homophobic comments! You can just erase them, sure.... or..... have them be her internalized homophobia!

Anyways rant over hashtag make Mia Dearden a lesbian 2k24

I was looking closely at Cure Lillian in the new wonpre ending, looking for details for my cosplay and... Is Lillian skirt supposed to be two distinct layer?? I've always interpreted it as a skirt with a ruffle at the bottom attached underneath the ribbon, but in the CGI model it's clearly an overskirt above a fuller and longer skirt...

Now, I was very confused so I went back to look at 2D screen shots and references and it does look like one piece there...

What a strange thing to change...

YOU SELECTED: CIRCLE SKIRT

not gonna lie, this one surprised me a little!!! (or, the fact it was such a clear winner did anyway!) you wont hear me complaining though, i LOVE a circle skirt, theres just something about the way they move that no other skirt shape seems to match, no matter how much fabric is in it. i hope youre looking forward to pattern cutting shenanigans way down the line, the lay plan for this is gonna be Weird....

Moving on from skirts, its time to think about what the top of this dress might look like.....

(for the purposes of this poll, a shirt dress is going to refer to anything with a button front closure and a collar of some kind)

additional notes under the cut as usual

Heres just a handlful of examples of what a shirt dress Could look like- shirt dresses were a super popular style for casual 50's style dresses, and ive had making one on my list for a while (i actually have a green duvet cover earmarked to make one one day i think, though in my research for this ive seen a super cool dress i might take inspo from for it instead, esp if this becomes a shirt dress) i love all the different options for collars & sleeve styles you can pick from, all the places you can have a fun little accent! i could pick fun matching or contrast buttons, there could be some trim around the collar or the button stand.... theres so many ways to play around with this!

another pro of the shirt dress is specific to the fact were making a circle skirt. one thing on the negative side of the shirt dress is that center front seam, splitting the pattern completely in half at the best spot to see it in all its glory- however as i mentioned in the skirt post, with this fabric, the way i cut the circle skirt is probably gonna be a bit weird, and its going to leave me with a whole bunch of odd shaped pieces that will probably benefit from smaller individual pattern pieces that shirt dresses have (i cannot say for certain until im working on my layout, though, and i have none shirt dress ideas that will do this too, but! its definitely something to note) it'd also be a way to make the center front seam the circle skirt will probably have seem more intentional into the design (though again, i have ways to combat that in the case that we dont go this way)

howeverrrrr i am very on the fence about a shirt dress being the right way to take this project. again, shirt dresses are a super popular casual style! but in that way, i worry itll be harder to style in a way that seems more formal- especially with the print and fabric combination (ive definitely seen more formal reading shirt dresses, but they tend to be boosted by the fabric choices, satins or taffetas, things that seem fancier in general) i would like to get some "nice occasion" wear out of this dress if i can, and i think that may be harder this way.

Also, i already own so many blouses, it might be better to have something that brings a different silhuette into my wardrobe. although i do wear those blouses the most, so it also might be ideal to make something that emulates styles im already drawn to.

on the other hand, the options are truly endless if we dont go towards a shirt dress. these images are just a handful of the other style options ive seen out there- not to mention, the backs! i am deeply fond of the classic wide & high necklines that have a deep V into the back- in fact i already have a pattern that could work for this particular style. really, its pointless for me to start elaborating on what other options there are because literally anything you can imagine, we could do.

Ah yes, we are finally back at the stage of "too many creative ideas too little time"

Which honestly I prefer to "no creative mojo at all" which was the case until a couple of weeks ago 😒

[museofvoid]

a question for any yarn crafters out there, for a cosplay i'm working on i need to make a kind of big skirt, and because i can't find a good fabric with the exact pattern i need i've been planning on knitting it myself (i also think it would look cool and just fit the costume). but i've also seen people crochet skirts, and since my skirt needs to be pretty wide by the end i'm thinking maybe that would be easier?

but i don't know, i'm a beginner when it comes to knitting and crocheting, so any tips are welcome!

[dummerjan]

i need to come up with several designs for my journeyman's piece until monday and i have no clue besides maybe pintucks and blue wool twill

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

getting intense joy from painting my nails wasn’t an expected outcome of my day but it is definitely a welcome one!

[liquidstar]

i finally finished alternate outfit designs for my ocs :) well these five at least lol

ill put the individual frames under the cut!
