I've started a new project: making an as historically-accurate-as-possible-while staying-on-a-budget outfit based on Felicity’s original Pleasant Company Meet Outfit, sized for me!
This outfit has always been one of my favorite American Girl outfits, and since I was a child I wanted one in my size. Since I’ve reached adulthood, there is little danger of me outgrowing this outfit. I will be supporting small businesses and independent artists. This comes at a cost to me. If you would like to support this project and get behind the scenes updates on my progress, you can subscribe to my Patreon. As each piece is completed, I will post it to Instagram.
My goal is to have everything finished by April 21st (Felicity's birthday).

I mean, we get that you're dehydrated, day drunk, possibly heat stroked, and inappropriately mourning your dead wife due to the cruel restrictions of the patriarchy, but yes, Jiggy Nye, that's generally how these transactions work.
