#10/10 would wear this dress

[dinosaurcharcuterie]

Me: Hey, I finished that dress I've been planning to make since last May.

My mother, silently grateful my first summer dress of the year is not covered in manic cartoon animals: Oh that looks lovely... Though don't you think you put a bit much fabric into your skirt? You could have used half and had enough left for a second dress.

Me: It's more comfortable this way. Not as clingy. And it's cut to be low waste, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Mom: ... How much is in there?

Me: Only like 4 meters.

Mom: Of a low waste pattern.

Me: Yup.

Mom: Give me one reason you need that much "bang for your buck".

Me:

#sewing #skirt is Salix by Unendlich Schön #lengthened by a full 30 cm #because yolo #bodice is from the Riviera dress by Lotte & Ludwig #straight neckline and no fake button placket #fabric is Aina from IKEA #and a lil square of jersey in the back #you're supposed to not wash the linen on normal #and don't put it in the dryer #whoops #it's now soft as a cloud #skirt go spinny #I might need to get more of this fabric #also 10/10 would recommend just straight up replacing a back panel with jersey instead of putting in a zipper #you do have to gather (part of) your skirt onto elastic but that's still more idiot proof to sew or wear than an elastic #and yes #there's pockets #smaller than intended #but still plenty big for my phone and wallet #i then showed my creation to a sewing friend who loves skirts that are knee length or higher #she said she would immediately wear that dress if it were half as long #GOOD NEWS #it's supposed to be #and you can even make it a patchwork pattern #we're not gonna talk about how long this took to hem #pictures taken outside because it was the first warm day of the year #and also because I can't spin it safely while indoors #i could remake it in manic cartoon but it would cost at least twice as much

When in Drakovia, dress as the Drakovians.

I actually loved the MC's dress, so I wanted to make an edit of my Isolde in it. And I gave Trystan a different suit too (an edited version of male MC's outfit, actually), so now they match.

Headcanons: Isolde herself is not the biggest fan of gowns usually. Mainly because they can be uncomfortable to fight in and have no pockets to stuff her detective-y trinkets in (I’m talking a pocketknife, covert camera and voice recorder, basic first aid tools and meds, matches, a duct tape... the list goes on). I imagine her grumbling as she puts on the dress, ‘Things I do for you, Trystan…’ And he quips back something like, 'I won't let your sacrifice be in vain!' But they are both just being overdramatic for the bit.

#i'm really into this dress though #10/10 would wear it myself #playchoices #crimes of passion #trystan thorne #oc: isolde rose #choices edits #my edits

What would you guys wear if social conventions were a thing? What would your ideal aesthetic be 🎤

#mine would be like…. 70% of the time fancy party dresses 10% goth-lolita 20% professor-chic #I’m looking at like fall wardrobe staples becuase I had to leave a bunch of my clothes behind and all these fcking paid google articles are #making me insane #400$ for shoes???? #no <3 #also….. I’m not SHAPED like these women #godbless them they’re beautiful. but I do NOT look like that <3 #I HAVE to wear high rise pants and I literally cannot wear jeans unless they are stretchy becuase I’m like… lumpy JANSNSJSD #tmi tmi #I think fashion is fun but who can afford it haha

I found socks with my favorite flowers on them (nasturtiums!), but they literally don't match anything I own, so making an outfit with them is difficult.. just all black with the bright shoes and a random stuffed animal for accents lol

#self #ootd #still unsure if I should do the like.. 'saying where stuff is from' section at the end of outfit posts like I think it's popular to do #but it just feels repetitive because basically for everything is just 'it's all thrifted' occasional 'shoes from ebay 10 years ago so I don #t remember the seller' or 'socks from a random sock store in the mall 2 years ago' etc. #even the stuffed animal is from the bins lol #Shoes and tights and wigs are the only things that it tends to be harder to get from the bins. Though I still find some #except wigs. I wouldn't really wear Bin Wigs since half the bins have like mysterious wet stuff and mold in them or etc. #I've gotten some shoes and stuff there though. But most of my shoes are from online. It's just that theyre also not from #like.. brands..?? Like 'converse' or something. It's more.. some random ebay seller in 2017 or something #so then that feels weird too because I thought the point of that being popular is so people can go find the things you're wearing and #buy them or whatever. but in my case that would never be helpful ghjbjk #since I also keep things so long. I have shoes and stuff Ive had since elementary school #good luck tracking down where I got these tights on ebay in 2011. good luck going to the bins or a thriftstore and finding the same #exact dress or etc. So then in that case does it even matter?? eh #The only sense I could see it being useful in is like. people seeing that they could make looks without spending a lot of money. #since I have had some comments on costumes or makeups before like 'omg I would love to look like this if I had the $$ for clothes *sad emo #ji*' or whatever. and I always want to message them and be like.. this entire outfit cost like $2.. you can do it. Don't get discouraged #I mean depending on the resources available to you. I know not everyone has a bins type place near the #m. but still. and all of my makeup and wigs are cheap as hell. Probably full of terrible chemicals. but I wear them like. once every 5 mont #hs or less since I dont do full costumes that often so hopefully wont get an infection or something. etc. etc. #ANYWAY. I could see it being useful I guess in just letting people know most of everything is secondhand #if that's meaningful to them for some reason. but also I feel like thats obvious since I talk about it. so #still just seems repetitive to me. ANYWAY. Love nasturtiums... aaaaaa... even though it's not my colors at all and I never #wear black or anything that would match them #I had to do it. I also normally would never ever pay $12 for socks but.. it's SO specific to my tastes and I had never seen anything #with nasturtiums on it before since they dont seem as popular as like roses or sunflowers. One of my once every 2 years #impulse buys at a mall ghjhjb.. (I never go to malls and also just rarely buy stuff in general since I'm evil miserly penny pincher etc.) #Kind of like how once a year I allow myself to have one steak from a restaurant or something but that's all. Once every few years #I will go to a large mall at a not busy time of day so I can avoid crowds. just to look around for fun. and will maybe buy like. One thing

🦋 Some days the weather is horrible and you just have to wear something cute anyway 🦋

#me #bi girl #my face #bi #bisexual #dress #selfie #did someone order a fairy wife?? #what’s the point of your 20s if you can’t wear a cute dress to work on a random Tuesday? #I adore this dress #I have little matching butterfly hair clips #should’ve worn them 🥺 #oh to be dancing around a kitchen at 3am to the first 40 seconds of ‘robbers’ on a 10 minute loop #I have simple wants #that would meet about 7 of them #or the intro to ‘menswear’ #I love it

the thing is . even if jodies outfit was more feminine nobody would care if a male doctor regenerated into it.... like thats part of doctor who everyone knows that.... but jodies outfit isnt feminine at all . its gender neutral for a reason ?? she chose it with that in mind and tbh she could very well be upset by that fact

#doctor who #dr who #13 #14 #10 #i genuinely dont understand why rtd would do it #idk it feels transphobic almost #as a nonbinary person myself it sucks to hear #the doctor is canonically above gender anyways #so why and how is gender and issue #the man in a dress trope is only bad when done to mock #but 13 didnt even wear a dress so WHATS THE FUCKING EXCUSE. #sorry im mad #ALSO its not even a mockery!!!! #its just a guy in clothing that happened to be worn by a woman #if jodie wore a suit nobody would care !! #jodie whittaker #david tennant #russel t davies #13th doctor

best thing about being an adult is that you can wear your hair in ways you never would have dared to wear it in high school

#like. the hairstyle i'm wearing i just KNOW would have got me so many mean comments when i was at school #but the only place i'm going today is one uni society where everyone is either neurodivergent or objectively nerdy anyway #so i can literally dress how i want and it's actually so freeing! #(my hairdo today is two long faux fishtail braids with about 10 hair baubles. paired with a tank top with seahorses on it :))

might fuck around and make a mini comic about the murder family becoming the Addams family neighbors

#the murder family #murder husbands #kinda #implication of murder husbands #abigail hobbs #hannibal #the addams family #wednesday addams #fanart #fan art #digital art #art #i just want my art to be seen thats why im tagging so much #i make a shit post in 5 minutes and get 1000 notes spend 5 hours on a piece get 10 notes #feels bad man #im not asking for money just some notes maam #abigail is wearing a fancy dress because hannibal would never let his daughter wear anything less that 1000 dollars

long work day today but in my heart of hearts i'm drawing chine in a dress having a great time, because, gender i guess.

no alterations to their appearance otherwise, maybe somebody's convinced them to wash their hair, but only for the sensory experience of having some bounce to it afterwards, y'know?

i just..am ruminating on how good it feels to be so incongruous with people's expectations without any fear at all? or more, even, with the sense of power that comes from frightening cis people when you yourself are confident in your safety?

not even a hint of chine being embarrassed about it, just straight to the joy - slap a few flowers in their shitty beard and dare somebody to say something <3

#idk my headcanon with chine re:gender is not so much about gender at all #more in that they're a he/they because their relationship with humanity is tenuous #and any bleed into gender is secondary #but like boundaries are fluid and/or meaningless to them so why would he give a fuck what clothes ppl think he should wear #also i'm projecting because i scared a man out of the bathroom last week and instead of having a panic about it i felt this huge wave of #gender euphoria? #this could only happen at work because i've been here 10 years and everyone is habituated to me #and because i dont go anywhere in public much anymore since covid #so most of my experiences with unfamiliar people is that nobody reacts to me wearing a dress anymore? #so when a new hire did react it was a surprise? #and the realization that it was a surprise felt SO POWERFUL #god i just love being visibly trans #i want to depict obviously-testoserone-dominant people in flowy comfortable clothes without makingany effort to look traditionally feminine #this is the height of gender for me #and i know the table friends tend to depict worlds in which clothes aren't gendered anyway #but the incongrousness can come from folks associating dresses with delicacy (also wrong) instead if you want to imagine the world that way #i prefer my fantasy with a side of real-world struggle so that the payoff feels more worth it personally but to each their own

my mom loves to Know A Thing From The Internet related to her children's interests/health conditions (vonnego on a walk anon, she has had me retell that joke to every friend and family member she can get her hands on).

Like, there is no spoon theory in this family. I saw the chance for an analogy she got instinctively, so it's bones theory now bc of a dog on instagram. all the granddaughters on her side of the family are disabled (sexist dna smh) and we have matching No Bones sweatshirts now

this is just to say. i am now in possession. of a dress with autism creature embroidered on the front :3

#ink post #my family #the real question. is how much i think my cousin knows about The Internet (he's like. 10) #bc boy howdy if that dress and that cousin are ever in the same room i will for sure be expected to Explain #it ain't always a win. but like. silver puzzle piece earrings are something i would wear regardless of other symbolism #im fine with the conversation stopping at Organization Bad without getting into fine details and she does have that down

Old drawings for a dress contest on dA. Ice & Fire themed because I was obsessed with it at the time

I cleaned them up a bit but can't do much about the crusty paper marks without erasing the details.

#I want to do a redraw...hopefully digital #tbh I would still wear the fire dress 10/10 #my art #old ass art #I didn't won but it was fun to draw and kept them

[fractallogic]

Unreasonably annoyed that somehow both target AND Office Depot are closed today and I wanted to get some page protectors and binder dividers to organize my mom’s random collection of recipes today during a crafternoon

SIGH being a godless heathen is so hard sometimes

#this is of course nothing compared to my atheist husband living in a Muslim country #where he could be jailed or killed for publicly admitting that he’s atheist #but he still goes around eating in his car during Ramadan wearing his thobe and qurta #I laugh with him but also like. boy. can’t wait to get you out of there #…so that you can also be annoyed that stores are closed on EASTER? gah #also hilarious that my dad has transformed into an even more devout Christian over the last 10-15 years #so growing up we maaayyybe went to church for Christmas Eve services but that’s it #he started going on Sundays when I was like 10-12 #but now he’s like a Sunday guy and also sometimes Wednesday guy plus bible study when he has time #meanwhile I’m over here thinking about how different it would be if I went to church half the time in childhood #and spent the other half with my mom who is a catholic-raised adamant atheist #who once got strict with me for saying ‘god’ something-or-other saying HE DOESNT EXIST DONT SAY THAT AROUND ME #people are… weird #anyway. #time to get dressed and eat breakfast and switch the litter #and maybe build my Easter basket from my dad #lol

Don't often mention musicians I listen to much online,, but back in May I got the chance to attend one of Voltaire's live performances and still can't believe that I did asdfghjk. If budget reasons aren't too in the way for me I'd definitely love to attend another one of his shows again in the future, that evening was such a fun time!! 🦇⚰️🥹✨✨✨

#🎵🎶 #+ other stuffs #sea's photography #it was amazing getting to see him perform live for the first time and - #i even got to briefly meet him at the autograph signing. he's so cool!! 🥹 ✨✨✨ /p #shame i wasn't able to get like a personal selfie or photo like the other fans were. i didn't wanna hold up the huge queue though 😅💦💦💦 #i've been listening to his music since i was like 10 or 11 y/o i think?? would just search up - #“goth/gothic music” during my goth “phase” back in the day to see what songs/bands would come up. he was one of them in search results afgf #“phase” since i still adore the goth aesthetic and things relating to it. just wouldn't have the patience to - #go all out dressing up in it nowadays unfortunately 😞💔💔💔 at least the makeup and jewellery/accessory side of it; - #i hate wearing makeup and not fond on wearing too much jewellery/accessories 😅💦 #year 2023

[joyridingmp3]

me continuously being worried that my being trans is "just a phase" when i have literally used diff pronouns for 3 years, have been trying to figure out the whole gender thing for 10 years, refused to call myself a girl since age 8 etc etc

#i also used to outrightly refuse to wear skirts and dresses up until age 11 where i HAD to for my high school uniform #and i remember learning there were no exceptions to the rule you had to wear a skirt and my heart DROPPED #i was like genuinely sooo scared #anyway idk why i gaslight myself fuck it im doing whatever i want now actually #mine #posting this just to remind myself when i feel this way in future #i also remember being 15 and i asked how people would describe me to others #and this guy said 'boy' and i still think about that today #10 years later #so it's yeah #my trans stuff

Got ready too early because I don't want to look TOO nice, let's not set a precedent that I will be wearing a full face of makeup daily, so now I'm just. Waiting. In my house. Aimlessly floating around.

#listen i know its a job interview so you have to look Nice™ #but also like lets be reasonable about how nice our Nice™ is #I'm wearing a dress i would wear any day #even though it's a little less worn than the others #mascara #lipstick #ce tout I'm not you know. getting all dolled up for a 10 minute thing for a temp job as a secretary #my main goal is to not look 12
