Description de toilettes:

Jupon de mousseline blanche, uni par devant, garni de bouillonnés disposés en diagonale sur tout le côté de derrière et la queue. Entre ces bouillonnés, çà et là, nœuds en ruban bleu turquoise. Le devant du jupon est garni de six volants plissés, disposés par séries de deux volants. Chaque deuxième volant est surmonté d'une torsade en ruban bleu turquoise disposé en torsade. Polonaise en même mousseline, disposée en pouff par derrière, ouverte par devant et se rattachant à chaque torsade du tablier par un nœud de même ruban. Les devants de la polonaise sont garnis d'un volant plissé surmonté d'un ruban bleu. Larges, rubans bleus sous le pouff. Grand nœud bleu fixé sur la polonaise et se rattachant à l'épaule du corsage décolleté.

Robe en faye vert-de-gris. Chaque lé forme un gros bouillonné perpendiculaire, lequel se résout en deux plis, depuis la hauteur du genou par devant, puis graduellement à une hauteur moins élevée pour le tour de la robe. Ruban et nœuds en faye de teinte plus foncée, placés sur le point de départ de ces plis. Mêmes rubans et nœuds sur le corsage ouvert en carré. Manche à gros plis ne dépassant pas le coude.

White muslin petticoat, plain in front, trimmed with swirls arranged diagonally on the entire back side and the tail. Between these swirls, here and there, turquoise blue ribbon bows. The front of the petticoat is trimmed with six pleated flounces, arranged in sets of two flounces. Each second ruffle is topped with a twist in turquoise blue ribbon arranged in a twist. Polonaise in the same muslin, arranged in a pouff from behind, open in front and attached to each twist of the apron by a bow of the same ribbon. The fronts of the polonaise are trimmed with a pleated flounce topped with a blue ribbon. Wide, blue ribbons under the pouff. Large blue bow attached to the polonaise and attaching to the shoulder of the low-cut bodice.

Verdigris faye dress. Each length forms a large perpendicular swirl, which resolves into two folds, from knee height in front, then gradually to a lower height around the dress. Faye ribbon and bows of darker shade, placed on the starting point of these folds. Same ribbons and bows on the open square bodice. Large pleated sleeve not exceeding the elbow.

Animal of the Day!

Black-faced Impala (Aepyceros melampus petersi)

(Photo by Burak Dogansoysal)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Southwestern Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 76 kg; 160 cm

Diet- Leaves; Fruits; Shrubs

Cool Facts- The black-faced impala is the largest of the impala subspecies. When watching an animal documentary, you might think that impala are the joke of the African animal kingdom. Targeted by almost all predators from lions to cheetahs to crocodiles, these impala have beat the odds. Capable of leaping 3 meters directly into the air and up to 10 meters in a single stride while running, black-faced impala can run up to 90 kilometers per hour. Impala have a unique way to ward off predators if running does not work. They begin stotting. It appears as if the impala is bucking while running, and while it may be slower it also shows the impala’s strength to the predator as if saying “I’m fast and strong, don’t eat me.”

Rating- 12/10 (Can clear a one story house in one jump.)

Happy birthday from me to us!

It's that time of the year again when I give myself a gift. I wish I had this cake irl :'). Alice wants some cake too and those two fighting for no reason. Fun fact: Alan and Helene are not as close and usually fight a lot. I also included Devon since it's also his birthday and I knew I would draw him ever since he was introduced.
