anthy himemya, circa 1909

[id: A digital painting of a medium dark-skinned girl, anthy, with violet hair in a rolled updo. She has green eyes and circular glasses, and wears a pair of gold jhumka earrings. She wears an edwardian era jumper dress in a soft green, with a ruffled lacy blouse beneath and a thin, s-bend magenta sash belt. Her expression is neutral and she rests one gloved hand on a table, behind her is a background of green bushes. End id]

This is what I think the uniform for the Slytherin witches would’ve looked like if they were going for the historically accurate

I found it while scrolling on Etsy if anybody’s wondering.

Next one up...

Tester slots OPEN for this dinner bodice pattern! The original has a 38” (97cm) bust and 32.5” (83cm) waist. Advanced sewists only, please (for the testing stage, at least) - this is a motherlode of textures and layers and a classicly Edwardian hidden closure, and I need people who know what they’re doing to test this one 😅 ! There’s a layer of lace flatlined to silver taffeta, and both of them plus the lining are all different patterns 😮‍💨. Mad respect to whoever made this 🥂.

As usual, pattern will go up on Etsy once testing is done - probably end of January.

Anachronism and ‘Red Dead 2′- Pt. 1: That Black Dress

So, this is typically an art blog, but I want to start a little series about my thoughts on some creative anachronisms in Red Dead Redemption 2, specifically concerning the historical clothing used for some of their characters, since historical fashion is a particular interest of mine.

For part 1, I’m looking at this dress, dated approx. to 1897 (from @fripperiesandfobs):

... which is actually used for two different characters in the game! (read more below the cut, but be warned of plot spoilers!!)

I LOVE this dress-- it’s a very gorgeous example of that late-Victorian, early-Edwardian figure, and it’s dating is of particular interest here, becuase of who wears this dress in-game, and when they wear it.

Character 1, is (to possibly some of yall’s surprise) Abigail Roberts. Here is her character model in the dress:

To the best of my knowledge, she was modeled with this dress during the bank heist in “Banking: the Old American Art,” as she and Hosea were posing as well-to-do Saint Denis citizens while they created the diversion for Arthur, Dutch and company to carry out the robbery.

This is not anachronistic for Rockstar, since the dress’ dating puts it as being made, presumably, according to the fashion trends of the late 1890s, when the game is set. (In other words, they know that this look was considered normal and fashionable in a city at that period, and designed Abigail accordingly).

Where the anachronism comes in (and gets interesting) is with the second character they dress in this outfit:

Mary Gillis Linton, presumably during the epilogue in 1907, pictured briefly in the dress during the credits (pictures from the Red Dead Wiki):

Here, she wears the dress as a mourning dress as she visits Arthur’s grave. The addition the devs make to Mary’s outfit is her mother’s broach pinned to her collar, which being a side-quest item, makes sense to add. The hat, as well, looks like it’s made of a gray felt or silk, rather than Abigail’s straw, and the ribbon ends with a low bow on the back, rather than whatever the fuck is going on with Abby’s in the front.

Be that as it may, the dresses are the same, and are both clearly modeled from the ca. 1897 dress pictured first.

I think it’s interesting that they would dress Mary, a canonically “high society” character in a deliberately out-of-date dress (they do this quite a lot with her actually, but that for another post).

To me, this anachronism links back to her relationship with Arthur, and the encounters with her in-game always being linked to both of their attachments to the others’ pasts. I mean, to visit a grave is to be inherently visiting bygone memories, right?

(There is always the possibility that this vignette is supposed to be before 1907, but because it is sandwiched by other vignettes from that year I am going with it being contemporary).

So, the anachronism of Mary’s wearing this dress, to me, works as a thematic anchor to her character’s emotional function within Arthur’s story, and even if it is historically-innacurate, I think it’s very amply deliberate, and interesting to see here.

Tell me what y’all think! I love talking about this stuff!
