You guys!!! My head is pretty much LMM tuned at all times. This gorgeous dress on Chloe Flower IMMEDIATELY made me think of a sexy version of Anne’s first puffed sleeve dress!!!!!
AND just to make sure, I googled brown gloria and came across this awesome image I had never seen before from the FB page “L.M. Montgomery Literary Society” (which I immediately followed). I’m a mess.
Then I, of course, fell down the rabbit hole of Google….
Forgot how bad I felt for Anne towards the end of Anne of Ingleside, because Gilbert is so out of it and Christine Stuart just gives really vindictive vibes. Now on Rainbow Valley, and I am always disappointed with this book because there is too much of the Manse children.
Also I was looking at my dresses as one of my university societies is having a Christmas dinner, I only have three, and the one I’m going to wear is very Anne of Green Gables with puffed sleeves and daisies on it.

I can’t believe how long it took me to finally attempt to create some puffed sleeves! My simple version requires no pattern at all and can be made from 2 old shirts in a flash ♻️
I was mulling over the idea of doing another portrait a royalty painting of one of my characters! Zoe is the princess in my story with my tree lady (carson) and this was the first time drawing her in a rendered style in a longggg time (and her design has gone through like, 10 iterations)
I really want to do an outfit page with her and explore her fashion too, so maybe I'll do that soon
