Pomander Place Navy Cotton Poplin Kenzo Dress by Tuckernuck https://shopstyle.it/l/bO23n

[viciousewe]

I made this dress! Sewn! Entirely by hand and then took it to the renn faire in august! And then banished to a corner because I fucked up the cuff size and it was too small to do buttons the regular way! But then I figured out I could do a loop instead of a buttonhole and it would work and it did! Hooray!!! I can start a new sewing project!!!! Too bad my only pics of it are all obscured by my mildly insane jewelry and accessories.

Do you have any tips for dressing modestly without overheating? I want to start but I have an autoimmune disorder that comes with overheating extremely easily. I've defaulted to wearing as little and as light as I can without feeling too exposed and while staying work appropriate but I have wanted to dress modestly for a long time now.

Hi anon,

So a lot of it depends on your environment and how humid or arid it is, how sunny or shaded it is, cloud cover, and other external factors like what your overheating triggers are and lifestyle (do you spend most time inside or outside, are you physically active, etc.)

However, some general rules and suggestions:

Loose and flowing clothing can help a lot, especially if you live somewhere with intense sunlight. Airflow can really help with keeping you cool, and in some cases keeping the sun off your skin can be cooler than being uncovered.

Wear light colors that will reflect the light

Wear lighter fabrics, especially anything that is naturally cool to the touch, like linen or cotton poplin

Natural fabrics are likely to breathe better also

Skirts skirts skirts - a good opaque but light skirt can be ankle length and still cooler than shorts

If you really can't be solidly covered, wearing sheer but covering things can help such as tops with georgette or chiffon sleeves

If you really can't be covered at all, period, for your physical health, do still keep in mind that covered =/= modest. A person wearing a full latex catsuit is not more modest than wearing gardening shorts and a straight cut tank top. You can choose clothing that is designed to flatter but not be sexy rather than clothing designed to draw specific attention. Look for clothing that is and looks practical, down-to-earth, and has lines that deflect attention from private areas.

Hope that helps!

Uniforms of the Cold War There were many pieces and variations of the uniforms for the emergent post-World War II powers. While they remained mostly styled after yesterday's uniforms, several changes came about to bring us the outerwear that most recognizes today. These renderings are not perfect, but they can hopefully provide a suitable image of the era.

[ sources ]

Capt Alfred F. Jones // U.S. Air Force After the Air Force was codified as an official military branch in 1947, we find Alfred sporting the 1949-1964 Air Force blue (shade 84*) Field/Service uniform. This version, rather than the McPeak Dress Jacket, is based upon the Eisenhower or 'Ike' Field Jacket (M1943 accompaniment) made famous by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Air Force did allow for the tan jacket typical of the time to also be worn - and for fellow Hetalians you will recognize the tan or olive drab Ike jacket as the typical choice for Alfred's Cold War dress - however, in 1949, the release of the Air Force Blue drove a push for a new wave of uniforms. Its accompanying garments should be as follows; shade blue 120 cotton poplin (pictured)/shade 126 cotton oxford undershirt; shade 84 service necktie**. The uniform can be worn with either the Service Dress Cap or the flight cap (pictured above), both required to be shade 84. As an officer, Alfred's flight cap bears a silver cord braid. Last but not least, the required dress shoes shall be black and socks shall be black. *The trousers should be the same shade as the jacket, but they were made darker for artistic reasons. **The necktie - while listed as shade 84 - often ended up darker than the jacket, likely due to material.

- - - - -

Kapitan Ivan Braginsky // Red Army (Artillery)* The uniforms of the immediate post-war Soviet Union, like the United States, closely followed those of the Great Patriotic War. Ivan wears a very short-lived uniform, perhaps misleadingly known as the 'Zhukov' officer dress, despite the fact that then-Minister of Defense Georgy Zhukov was a strong pillar against the naval-styled uniform. This style was produced from 1955-1957; from the death of Stalin until the end of Zhukov's tenure as Minister of Defense. It features the M55 Dress jacket in a stormy, steely blue-gray (listed officially as gray). This jacket may have been worn as a parade, dress, semi-dress, or even service jacket (sources vary) - pictured above is the 'Parade Walking-Out' version of the jacket. Paired with the M55 are the dark blue officer breeches of the time. These would have been upheld by suspenders and paired with no foot or leg wraps. Upon Ivan's uniform is featured red piping and black velvet hat banding denoting his service in the Armored and/or Artillery forces, in contrast to the raspberry of infantry. Ivan is far too large to fit inside a tank, so Artillery became his assignment. The Zhukov-style uniform is easily recognized by the gold cockade and leaves upon the visor of the officer's cap. Hidden by Ivan's scarf are notched lapels and black velvet panels. He wears a ceremonial belt worn in conjunction with the Parade Dress. *I apologize for this section being less detailed. Finding decent sources on Soviet-era uniforms in my region that aren't on apologist forums can be difficult as I do not have access to a more formal library or archive.

So they’ve decided on you to fuck up my work.

- Ian Fleming to Sean Connery on being cast as James Bond

By the time auditions for the role of James Bond in the first 007 movie, Dr No, were held in 1961, Connery was a well-established and highly regarded serious actor, but Fleming reportedly didn’t think he was right for the part of 007.

Connery said that Patrick McGoohan, James Mason, Rex Harrison, Stewart Granger and Richard Burton (all approved by Fleming as being suitable for the role) were ruled out, for various reasons. The casting wasn’t going well and had even been advertised in stage magazines.

Eventually, Connery was taken in to see the casting directors and he got the part. However, Fleming wasn’t happy with their choice, reportedly saying privately he was nothing but an “over-developed stunt man”, describing him as “unrefined”. Connery reciprocated the feelings, calling Fleming “a real snob”, but admitting he was “interesting”.

Connery was surprised to get the part, because he had heard how Fleming felt about him. Apparently, Dana Broccoli, wife of producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, was instrumental in getting Connery the part, as she was convinced he was the right man. Fleming’s girlfriend, Blanche Blackwell, also said he had the right “charisma” for the role.

Fleming’s frustration over the direction his series was being taken was revealed when he confronted first time director Terence Young at a United Artists function in London.

Fleming squared up to the realities of an untested director guiding a half-known ex-labourer star into James Bond’s elegant world.

Mr Fleming vented: “So they’ve decided on you to fuck up my work.”

But Mr Young “was not shaken” and told him: “Let me put it this way, Ian. I don’t think anything you’ve written is immortal as yet.

Ian Fleming wrote relatively little about Bond’s style, sketching in only the briefest of descriptions while devoting pages to the overblown outfits of Bond’s foes. A little goes a long way. Terence Young took Connery to Anthony Sinclair, a tailor on London’s Conduit Street at the northern end of Savile Row. Sinclair was Young’s tailor. He specialised in what he called the “Conduit Cut,” a fitted hourglass shape to the jacket that suited fit, military men. It was deliberately at odds with the boxy fashion suits worn by most young men at the dawn of the swinging sixties. Cutting like that stood out as slightly behind the times but reassuringly expensive.

Next Young took him to Turnbull and Asser, his shirtmaker on Jermyn Street several blocks away south of Piccadilly. There, Connery was fitted with the same pale blue cotton poplin shirts and knitted navy silk ties that Young wore day in day out himself. It was Young who gave Bond his turned back “cocktail” cuffs, a sartorial detail that at the time defined a man as both well-to-do yet rather rakish.

Bond’s style was extremely precise, the spare but expensive, handmade wardrobe of a military man, not overtly fashionable but not fuddy-duddy, either. It met and exceeded accepted standards of dress while remaining deliberately unsensational. Fashion in all its preening frivolity was always reserved for Bond’s vain, egotistical nemeses like Goldfinger, Blofeld, or Largo. As a recipe for worry-free style, Connery’s Bond defined and still defines the clean-cut ideal of a wardrobe that transcends fashion and becomes eternal.

If Bond was the establishment man in town, the exotic and tropical locations around the globe were the backdrop for him to get a bit more experimental with his off-duty wardrobe. It didn’t always work. That said, Connery fares better than all succeeding Bonds as his wardrobe for the beach is still as spare and restrained as his working day clothes. Later Bonds fall prey to the gravitational pull of fashion and pay the price. Roger Moore suffers from this and unfairly, I think. It’s not his fault he got the gig in the hedonistic 1970s. But just about the only thing Connery’s Bond gets wrong is in Goldfinger, where he appears in Miami in a sky-blue terry-cloth onesie. Somehow, he gets away with it.

In the end it was a cocktail: Connery’s suave style with his own rough edges poking through that gave Bond his bite. It resonated with the socially and geographically expanding world of the 1960s; Connery was a forerunner of a whole generation of working-class British actors made good - like Michael Caine and Terence Stamp - who personified a rougher and racier sexuality on screen. In clothing terms, Connery’s Bond gave all young man an easily referenced visual encyclopedia of how to dress well without ever overdoing it.

The two didn’t meet until filming was underway. Connery’s performance won the writer over immediately. In fact, Fleming liked Connery so much that he later gave the spy a Scots heritage to mirror the actor’s own. In his novel, You Only Live Twice, published in March 1964, Fleming wrote that Bond’s father was from Glencoe.

Happy NYE/NY everyone!

Because 'tis the season for reflection, I went through my camera roll and picked out the 9 projects from this year that I'm proudest of.

(We all know what posts from this year got the most online attention, but I think it's important to be introspective and think about what projects and posts were actually most valuable to me. Anyways. /soapbox)

Swan Song Scarf (Jasmine Lin, Crafty Coola). This is my design, and although I released it a good while ago, I'm still incredibly proud of it. I spent a lot of time sketching, charting, knitting, ripping back... it was a labor of love, but I'm proud that I stuck with it and got a result I'm happy with. Yarn: Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply (World in a Book and Light Clematis)

Woodland Cardigan (Anna Johanna, Where We Once Knitted). This was my first time steeking, and yeah, I'm pretty gosh-darned proud of that. Yarn: Knit Picks Palette (Wonderland Heather and Calypso Heather)

Anza Dress (Kennis Wong, Itch to Stitch). This was my first time installing buttons, making (sewn) buttonholes, using interfacing (...don't judge me), and sewing scoop pockets. So many new techniques for me, but it created such a polished product and was an excellent learning opportunity. I'm so glad I took the leap with this pattern. Fabric: Singer Brand Cotton Poplin (2 yards)

Color Triangle (p: do you love the color of the sky?). This was my first time using powdered acid dye (read: Big Girl Dye instead of tie-dye/Rit/food coloring)! Obviously the whole color-formulating process for the Color of the Sky shenanigans remains in progress, but I'm proud of this triangle as it is anyways. Fiber: Knit Picks Stroll Bare, Dye: G&S Acid Dyes

Custom Intarsia Blanket. This depicts DNA replication using restriction enzymes and DNA ligase. I did this one for a custom commission, and I'm proud of myself for a) designing it, b) being so free with it, and c) getting to make something science-y! I sketched a rough plan before beginning, but I had to make an absurd amount of adjustments along the way -- in the end, I even had to duplicate stitch over the restriction enzyme bit with a half-strand (i.e. half the plies) of yarn since the stash yarn was too fine. I'm so used to planning everything and then being stubborn; this was a great exercise in adaptability and letting go.

Elderberry Dress (Shavonne Cruz, Mood Sewciety). I'm not one to do muslins or even much fitting on my sewing projects. I tend to just take patterns straight out of the envelope and then sew them, consequences be damned. This dress, though? After each wear, I've been making little adjustments to improve it; shaping the neckline and adjusting the fit, amongst other things. That's something I want to carry forward for my future projects.

Eliane Scrubs (Jalie). These aren't anything particularly special from a technical perspective, but they are possibly my most-worn me-made EVER. They've held up to weekly wear and washing and I'm proud of them for that, as well as of myself for letting my babies "do their job" instead of hiding them way out of fear. Fabric: cotton poplin

Fractal Yarn (p: swirling solar winds). I spun most of this for Tour de Fleece (which feels like a lifetime ago!) and it's a huge accomplishment for me. I'm often afraid to break down gradient braids, so doing a fractal spin was a first for me! I also got it nice and fine; a practical weight for what I usually work with. Fiber: Emily C Gillies (now House of Wool) Luck of the Draw December 2022 on Merino/Silk

Handspun Sweater (p: we pull apart the stars). Ok, so this isn't finished, but handspun sweater. I think that speaks for itself as far as why I'm proud!

Friday 2.57 pm

Anya and Phoebe’s classes are finished for the day, and Phoebe wants to go to their favourite fabric store, Potter’s, to check out their new range of cotton poplins, just arrived from Al Simhara.

“I can’t,” says Anya. “I’ve got to go straight home. Roy’s picking me up at 6.30 on the dot and I’ve still got some finishing touches to make to my dress.”

“I could come and help you,” says Phoebe with a nonchalant shrug. “If you want.”

“That’d be so great,” says Anya. ”Can you help me with my hair and makeup too?”

“Sure,” says Phoebe. “And your eyebrows.”

“What’s wrong with my eyebrows?” says Anya. Before Phoebe can answer they are approached by a boy from Anya’s Digital Design class.

“Hi Anya!” he gushes. ”Oh my God, I just had to tell you that your dress is so cute! I wish it had a ‘like’ button on it that I could press!”

“Wow, thanks Paul,” says Anya. “That’s really…flattering.”

“Oh my God, he’s such a knob,” says Phoebe as he walks away.

“Right? And that’s probably not even his natural hair colour,” says Anya.

“Speaking of knobs, can I hang around and meet Roy when he arrives to pick you up?” says Phoebe.

“You want to meet Roy?” says Anya. “After all the horrible names you’ve called him? Why?”

“Morbid curiosity,” says Phoebe. “Is he picking you up in his friend’s shit box car?”

“His company’s sending a limo,” says Anya.

“So tacky,” sniffs Phoebe.

This week's Disney hotel is the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.

Since I have a fondness for both of these films, the outfit is designed to reflect the main characters from each movie.

i really like how the olsen twins dress but i am broke. could u recommend some affordable pieces like their style? i prefer ashley olsen's style, more flowy and baggy stuff. thanks in advance <3

I've got you! Allison Borenstein, the creator of the "three style words" method, describes Ashley's style as "oversized, refined, and minimal", so I think those are words to keep in mind when shopping for pieces. You want to look for pieces that are designed to have a oversized look or that are literally larger than the size you would normally wear, but that are crisp and tailored without too much detail. Obviously their brand The Row is great for this style, but if you're on a budget, I would check out COS, Uniqlo, and H&M's Premium line. These are also brand that are pretty easy to find on resale sites if they're still out of your budget. I've seen a lot of COS pieces on ThredUp in the $10-$20 range.

For an example, I'm going to put together a capsule wardrobe of items that I think would fit Ashley's style from high street stores and try to keep it as inexpensive as possible. If you want, you can send me your sizes and I'll do another post where I try to find pieces from secondhand sites, but I thought I'd start with high street stores in case other people are interested in the same items.

First things first, you want an oversized white shirt. These are two options from H&M. One is the Oversized Poplin Shirt which is on sale for $8.99 USD and the other is the Oversized Cotton Shirt for $19.99 USD.

Then we need a pair of trousers. I like the Uniqlo Wide-Fit Pleated Pant for $49.90 USD, which have that perfect tailored but oversized look. You can also try these Wide Leg Pants from H&M for $34.99 USD.

Another staple of Ashley's wardrobe is an oversized cashmere sweater, so let's do this Men's Cashmere Crew Neck from Uniqlo for $59.90 USD. It comes in a ton of colors, which is awesome, and (except secondhand) I've never seen cashmere at a lower price.

For maxi dresses I was kind of struggling, but I would maybe go for a slip dress like the Wilfred Secret Maxi Slip Dress from Aritzia that's on sale for $43.99 USD. It can be worn under a shirt, sweater, or with an oversized coat.

I would also grab an Oversized Blazer like this one from H&M for $57.99 USD. I also like the Cardigan with Tie Belt from H&M for $29.99 USD. I think I've seen Ashley wearing something similar before.

A long oversized coat is a must for an Olsen twin style. I feel like every time I see them, they're in a long coat. I would maybe try this Double-breasted Midi Coat from H&M for $84.99 USD and wear it unbuttoned.

Then I would grab some accessories. I would go for a big pair of sunglasses like these for $12.99 USD and a structured bag like this one for $19.99.

And for shoes, I would grab a sandal like these for $26.99 and a loafer like these for $34.99.

All together, that's between $323 USD and $385. Definitely not cheap, but given that the least expensive thing I can find on The Row's website is a toe ring for $390, I think I did okay 😭

Prince Harry’s Dior Shirt Is a Perfect Example of His New Laid-Back California-Inspired Style

Prince Harry stepped out in London wearing one of Meghan Markle's favorite brands.

Prince Harry Attends High Court Hearing In Privacy Lawsuit - Day Four

Belinda Jiao/Getty Images

It’s a big week for celebrity court fashion! While Gwyneth Paltrow dominates the conversation around her skiing trial with a series of runway-worth “stealth wealth” looks, Prince Harry is across the pond rocking some subtly high-end duds of his own to another set of legal proceedings. Harry is currently visiting the UK for a hearing on his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers for illegal information gathering, and while he’s been modeling similar variations of the same sleek, low-key suits all week, his particular choice of shirt on Thursday, March 30, caught followers’ eyes.

Photos from Harry leaving the High Court in London show the former royal’s jacket blown open enough that you can see a bee logo on his white collared shirt, identifying it as Dior. The Dior bee shirt is a cotton poplin dress shirt with a bee embroidered in 18-carat gold thread, finished with mother-of-pearl Dior signature buttons and a shirt-tail hem, available on the Dior website for $1,000. It’s also a perfect symbol of Harry’s new laid-back approach to fashion since moving to California.

During his time in the royal family, Harry had to abide by strict rules around style (though not as strict as those applied to Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton). His suits would reflect the formality of the occasion he was attending and little else, and Harry always looked like someone who was more comfortable in clothes he could wear on the polo field or out camping. Harry spoke fondly in his memoir Spare about shopping the bargain aisles at discount chain TJ Maxx as he grew up: “when they’d be flush with items from Gap or J.Crew, items that had just gone out of season or were slightly damaged.”

Prince Harry flashes the Dior bee on his shirt.

LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 30: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex attends the Royal Courts of Justice as the lawsuit against the Associated Newspapers enters its final day on March 30, 2023 in London, England.

Since he started dating and then married Meghan Markle in 2018, royal followers noticed immediately that his style was becoming sharper, borrowing more frequently from high-end designers and often matching her impeccable looks in color palette. As he and Meghan went on to exit the royal family in 2020, Harry’s style evolution has continued: The suits are fitting better every year, and he’s learning how to meld his love of comfortable clothes with a more grown-up look.

Harry has worn a series of suits and white collared shirts in demure blues and grays for his court appearances this week, but little touches like Monday’s skinny blue tie or Thursday’s Dior shirt point to the Prince breaking away from years of doing the bare minimum to dress appropriately and turning towards a genuine enjoyment in choosing his style, dressing in pieces that subtly scream quality while accomplishing the same polished and polite look that’s appropriate for these proceedings.

Call it the L.A. effect, call it the Meghan Markle effect, call it whatever you like—Prince Harry is looking good these days, and he knows it.
