Royal Hat Appreciation (341/∞)

[aimeedaisies]

“Nothing can really prepare you for you the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love, and worry, all mixed together.” - Catherine, Princess of Wales

"If we want girls to have the best possible futures in these careers (STEM), we need to make sure they have the skills and qualifications required. More importantly, if we want the best possible future for our country, we need to be using the talents of the whole population." - Princess Anne, Princess Royal

“I’m not trying to succeed for the people who are waiting for me to fail. I’m doing it for myself. I’m one for the ‘You only live once so you should do as much as you can’ sort of thing” - Zara Tindall

“As someone who firmly believes in the equality of men and women, I feel drawn to your cause and to do what I can to help raise further awareness of your work. To help give voice to women and girls who are being denied their fundamental rights as humans and are being subjected to harm and violence as a result of conflict, to promote those who seek to play a part in finding peace, and to support others as they attempt to rebuild their lives” - Sophie, Countess of Wessex

"There was nothing that I felt I wanted to hide away from. It was just something that happened in my life. I was always—I wouldn’t say proud of it, but I was glad I did it. I was supported through it as well. The Queen said: “Yes, go and do it,’ so I did. I think The Queen is an astonishing leader of people. She’s just a shining example to us all. And she goes on. It's incredible. She’s nearly 100." - Katharine, Duchess of Kent talking about her change in career to being a school music teacher and her cousin in laws [QEII] acceptance

"But what ultimately made Princess Margaret so attractive and lovable was that behind the dazzling façade you could find, if you looked for it, a rare softness and sincerity." Peter Townsend talking about Princess Margaret

Wishing these amazing, strong women and many many more around the world a very happy international women’s day! 💪💓

Okay I'm doing a Six inspired cosplay for NYCC this year, and I've come to use your stuff for multiple multiple references so first, THANK YOU. Secondly, I'm basing my (Star Wars mashup) cosplay off of the pink alt costume, you have it written down that it's two parts but put on at the same time. Have you seen any photos of it either on the rack / not the actresses; or a photo of the back? I appreciate any help you could give!!

Hey!!! I’m so glad to help!

Yes, there’s actually a great pink alt resource on this:

Zara MacIntosh did a takeover where she shows her whole process of getting into costume and exactly how that works. Very helpful both for shots of the back of the costume and for understandings its’ construction. That section of the takeover starts here and continues for several more stories. It’s all saved in the “Zara 2021” highlight on @/sixthemusical. It doesn’t show much of the side, but there’s a few good photos here.

These show a few different construction methods. On the left and center photos, the top is separate while the peplum and main skirt pieces are attached to each other (there’s snaps on the front and sides and on the left photo they are already snapped together to be put on more easily, but you can see that they’re unattached in the back). Meanwhile, right shows a different style with the top and peplum attached while the main skirt is separate instead. Right is technically an Aragon photo, but they have the same construction method and I just have clearer photos of that change for Aragon than I do for pink alt. Older pink alt and Aragon costumes, including most pre-lockdown, had the peplum attached to the skirt with top separate. Newer, since about spring 2022, have become standardized with the peplum usually attached to the top instead and main skirt separate.

You can see a little bit of what I meant with the pieces being separate but attached before they’re actually put on in that takeover. There’s also this tiktok from Esme Rothero which shows the whole process with her silver alt. Different design of course, but same principle.

I‘ll also refer you to a few posts about some construction and design changes in recent pink alt costumes: 1, 2, 3

Also….Star Wars and Six mashup? Aka my two favorite things? That is a brilliant combo. If you feel comfortable sharing photos of the finished costume I would love to see them!
