I'm still sick, so I'm just doing a little research for a comic today: that means going into detail about central Europe and its history in the late 1890s which is fun because the architecture was crazy cool but also it's so, so boring

James Jebusa Shannon: portraits of Violet Manners, Duchess of Rutland, and four of her children: Lady Marjorie Manners (later Paget, Marchioness of Anglesey); Lord John Manners (later 9th Duke of Rutland); Robert Manners, Lord Haddon; and Lady Diana Manners (later Cooper, Viscountess Norwich); 1895, 1900.

She did not shrink back, though the pupils of her eyes dilated. Was it the wildest thing in the world which happened to her—or was it not? Without warning—the sudden rush of a thought, immense and strange, swept over her body and soul and possessed her—so possessed her that it changed her pallor to white flame. It was actually Anstruthers who shrank back a shade because, for the moment, she looked so near unearthly.

“I am not afraid of you,” she said, in a clear, unshaken voice. “I am not afraid. Something is near me which will stand between us—something which DIED to-day.”

Dans la Serre

Here is the 3rd installement of my 1870s and 1880s inspired clothing sets series. It includes bustle dresses (with overlays) for adults, teens and children, 2 late victorian bonnets and some accessory bows for all ages. I hope you’re not tired of it yet because I am far from being done with this series

More pics and download below

As referenced in the title, this set was inspired by Edouard Manet’s painting : Dans la serre / In the Conservatory, 1879.

————————————— Dresses ————————————

—————————————————————————————

These dresses have a slight bustle shape which would best fit for the natural form era : roughly 1875 - 1883 ; (well actually, the size of the bustle is dependant on the size of the sim’s butt so do with that what you will). I made 3 versions of the dress : one full lenght for the ladies, a shorter one for the teen misses and finally one for the children.

74 swatches : 22 solids, 10 floral, 6 plaid, 25 striped & 11 polka dot patterns

Child version : 8846 poly

Short version (S) : 9342 poly  

Long version (L) : 5156 poly

——————————— Dress Overlays ——————————

—————————————————————————————

I need more bow / dress and “overskirt” / underskirt color combinations so here are these overlays !

96 swatches : 22 for the bow and 74 for the “overskirt” (identical to the dress swatches)

2 versions : child & adult

in the right wrist section

———————————— Bonnets ————————————

—————————————————————————————

These types of small bonnets were in fashion from the 1870s to the 1890s (roughly late 1870s to early 1890s).  I’ve made 2 versions : with and without flowers to fit both the lowkey and the extra victorian sims out there.

36 swatches for the simple bonnet : 34 solids & 2 lace ones

46 swatches for the flower bonnet

Simple bonnet : 2014 poly

Flower bonnet : 4877 poly

—————————————  Bow  —————————————

—————————————————————————————

A simple bow to add to any outfit, available for all age as pictured below. It could works for countless era and styles.

34 swatches (all solids)

adult, child and toddler versions

The Many Illustrators of A Tale of Two Cities 8: Edmund H. Garrett (2/2)

Vignettes for Vol. 2

I'm going to be jumping right in on this one, except for one small thing!

1 / 2 || 2 / 2

As I mentioned in the previous post, I sourced the images for vol. 1 and vol. 2 of this edition from different places. One interesting thing about this source that's different from that of the previous (besides the fact that the scans are better) is that some - but not all - of the full-page illustrations actually have captions! I will of course add those underneath them where applicable. Sadly, this likely means that the full-page illustrations from vol. 1 also had captions that simply were not included in the scan. Ah, well - perhaps they'll show up one day, making for yet another mystery solved on its own!

Anyway, here are Garrett's illustrations for vol. 2 - enjoy!

The gaoler opened a low black door.

"English?" asked Madam Defarge, inquisitively raising her dark eyebrows.

I hope you enjoyed this set as much as I did!🌟

As a bonus, here's a gif showing the difference in quality between my original source and this new source - I'm so glad I found it!

& the standard endnote for all posts in this series:

This post is intended to act as the start of a forum on the given illustrator, so if anyone has anything to add - requests to see certain drawings in higher definition (since Tumblr compresses images), corrections to factual errors, sources for better-quality versions of the illustrations, further reading, fun facts, any questions, or just general commentary - simply do so on this post, be it in a comment/tags or the replies!💫

you know what would've been really fun? if like how the dracas speak Norwegian, and the vamalia speak German, the Lycana had irish as their first language. I know it would've probably been "too much effort" or something to find native speakers either as the actors or to provide things for the script. but i would've loved to hear ivy and seymore speaking in gaeilge, even just turning up and saying "dia dhuit" instead of "hey" or muttering things others can't hear under their breath and them even implying that they were speaking irish would be been so fun.

especially since this is the late 1800s but it's been implied that they were around for a while so they would've been born to gaeilge speaking families,but probably forced to speak English while the english were over causing trouble in ireland. so we can still have them beleivably speaking english on the ship but speaking irish in private.

they probably won't do this if they make another season,but I really want them to

VITD Sims Lookbook: Alice

And finally, with Victor and Smiler done, we finish off with some looks for our lovely Cutter, Alice!

Alice gets straight into the custom content with one of her everyday outfits, wearing the blue swatches of the 1890s Working Girl set by @vintagesimstress! And unlike the last time I showed her in this outfit, this time she has the apron overlay to go with it. XD Looks good on her AND gives her the proper working-class vibes!

For bedtime, Alice gets a pretty nightgown -- and much like Smiler, while they're not era-appropriate, I had to give Alice the cute bunny slippers too. XD What, we know she likes white rabbits! If I remember correctly, that nightgown is a dress that comes with the Cottage Garden Fan Stuff Pack made by @plumbobteasociety -- I thought it looked nice as nightwear for her.

For that semi-formal party everyone's going to, Alice gets a Realm of Magic top and skirt that make her look at least somewhat respectable. While I think the outfit as a whole is a little pale, I really wanted to use that top on her -- I think she looks good in it. And the skirt ended up working with it pretty well (which is good, because it took me ages to find one that actually went with the top. Some of this shit is HARD to match, let me tell you!).

And for a formal occasion -- well, unlike the boy and the non-binary person, Alice doesn't need to rely on CC here. Get Famous provides a beautiful Victorian dress for her to swan around in! (Though I should probably download a few for her anyway, for variety's sake -- or at least a couple of hats that might go well with this outfit. Head looks a little naked here!) She looks ready for a day in Brightstone, doesn't she?

Okay, admittedly I didn't intend this outfit as an athletic outfit, just another everyday one (though I suppose Alice COULD wear it for working out). And this Cats & Dogs dress is probably a little too modern to fit the proper BITD vibes. But I really like it for the simple reason the patchwork skirt looks like something Alice made herself -- finding and saving up scraps of fabric so she could have something else to wear besides her iconic striped blouse and black skirt. And you can't deny, it DOES look good on her!

And finally, for those chilly days, Alice gets in on the cozy vibes with a cherries-and-flowers theme -- the sweater (and I believe the skirt) is from Cottage Living, while the hat is a recolor created by Plumbella (from "illegally downloading clothes for my sims," in this SimFileShare folder (as you might imagine, it's the one called "beret")). She looks pretty comfy -- and those boots were definitely made for stomping around the streets in the snow and rain.

And that's that! Hope you enjoyed this look at what my VITD characters would probably wear in their universe. Next time (after Valicertine's Day), we're back to the Chill Valicer save for store shenanigans and magic shenanigans! See you then!
