Hiromi Saruya x BABY, the Stars Shine Bright - Trump Print Satin OP (2004)

This one-of-a-kind dress was never released for commercial sale; designed by Hiromi Saruya and produced by BABY, the Stars Shine Bright for the 2002 film Shimotsuma Monogatari, we see Momoko pair this OP with a matching parasol and BABY brand alice bow. Due to being a stage costume, this piece is likely lost in circulation, in the hands of a second hand shop, costume and prop storage, or a private owner.

Sometimes pregnancy compels you to do weird things, like sew a medieval gown for your unborn daughter.

This is mauve linen in a style similar to that worn by Viking women as well as the basic cote before it got more fitted and fancy; you can see the side skirt panel and underarm gusset with flat felled seams.

Designed and handstitched by me based on primary and secondary sources.

I have been... so insanely busy pretty much from the moment I was able to get out of bed from Covid, lol

Good news is that I was Barbie, and I did indeed party 😎

Making a ridiculous fantasy outfit for a certain beloved tabletop character I keep playing over and over again every time someone runs a game even slightly on-theme. I've got a skirt in need of a hem, a belt/overskirt dealio with pockets and stuff built in(fairy bauble collection style, as a nod to the character's fairytale creature heritage), and several shawls in different fabrics and styles. I have made a hat, but I don't love how it turned out. As this character is a bit feral and tends to do a lot of foraging for and repurposing materials, a lot of the textiles I'm using are scavenged from my stash, given to me by friends, or repurposed from other items. The hat and one of the shawls are part of a blanket and a whole second blanket, for instance, and another shawl is literally just a hardware store canvas dropcloth I've altered, while the skirt and yet another of the shawls are made of yardage I originally intended to become a dress for a different character entirely. I'm also making a dress from another dropcloth, as a base layer. I've been lazy-felling the side seam of this t tunic style dress for like three days and I've finally finished. Still need to do the other side and then the hem. Neckline and cuffs are fine, though I may change the neckline later idk. Got a hood to figure out later as well. Trying to decide if it's gonna be the canvas again, the rest of the hat blanket, or maybe both? I want it to be a bit weird, for specific reasons. I actually made a little bitty mockup that's currently on a doll in hat mode, but she hasn't got a wig on under it right now, so it looks incredibly silly but it could look so much sillier. I also need to finish the seams and hem that. There's kind of a lot to do on this outfit. I work tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. The next session is Saturday. After that, the game is probably going to be on hiatus until the second half of July. I might wear this thing or parts of it to comic con, if it's done in time, honestly.

WHERE is that post on how to wrap different types of toga? The toga tag is full of an anime character who is not, in fact, wearing a toga.

@newyorkcitywater my friend thank you so much for asking!

Firstly, I am offended on behalf of the audience as a whole that we are expected to believe that the dress Claire is wearing when she visits Craigh Na Dun in 1945 is at all the same garment she’s wearing when she arrives in the 1700s. The two are made of completely different fabrics, and they are different cuts.

This is a dress that is fit to her body. The waist is not being nipped in by that belt, the belt is purely decorative. Those darts, while probably not the strongest sewing around, would not be able to come undone without causing visible damage to the fabric. Having likely been manufactured during WWII, this dress would not have been made out of a strong cotton weave, but something flimsier, lighter, and man made. It drapes beautifully, because it is not stiff, and it is not thick.

See the lovely drape here? See how the hem is more opaque than the rest of the dress? This is not a thick cotton shift.

This is.

Secondly, let’s take a logical look at the time, shall we? It is late October, 1945, in Inverness, Scotland. Friends it is cold. Not only is it cold enough to freeze your tits off, it is autumn! As grateful as I am that we have since left these sensibilities behind, it would not have been appropriate to wear this dress on a very cold mid autumn day in the 40s. We could say she decided to wear it having been inspired by the flowy white dresses she saw the coven wearing that morning which, fine. Doesn't explain why she packed it in the first place, but, fine.

So, she's wearing this beautiful if inappropriate flowing white fitted dress, with a keyhole neckline, a belt, and a watch. Then she touches a magic rock, falls through time, and is wearing... this?

Gone is the watch! Gone is the belt! Gone are the darts??? Addressing the accessories first, a metal watch/bracelet that tight would not just 'slip off' without leaving some sort of abrasion. Where did it go? Your guess is as good as mine. As for the belt, it would not have come undone just by falling on the ground! If she fell on a very sharp rock, hard enough to cut that belt off of her body, it would have also cut the fabric of her dress, and her skin. So the belt becomes another unexplained casualty of Claire's trip back in time. Let's fuck around and decide that Time decided the watch and the belt were too anachronistic to bring back along with this Whole Ass Person it's dropping in the 1700s.

On to the glaring issue here: what happened to the fit of the dress? What used to be two beautiful, well constructed darts are now a couple of stitches that accentuate her tits and serve no other notable purpose. If I had the time and spare fabric I would sew a dart and then rip it out by force to show you, but I don't, so you're just going to have to take my word when I tell you that if you tried to turn a dart that looked like this

into this

just by falling, you would damage the fabric! Significantly! At the very least there would be loose threads all over the place, more likely you would have slit holes in the dress where the line of stitches was forcefully ripped out.

Now, to address the fabric issue. You may notice that the dress in the fourth picture looks like it's a similar fabric to the first one, and you may be saying "Archer, if it looks like the fabric of the first picture and the cut of the third picture, then why are you upset that they changed the fabric? Clearly it's all the same!" Well gentle reader, it IS NOT.

Even if we ignore for a moment that we live in a world where costumers often make duplicates of costumes, especially costumes that undergo weathering, what we are looking at is at least three distinct dresses. The first is the dress Claire wears to gather flowers in 1945, the flowy, inappropriate, fitted white dress.

Second, we have what I'll call the 'transitional dress'. Still flowy, still a flimsier fabric, but we've lost the accessories and the fit of the dress entirely.

Thirdly, we have the iteration of the dress Claire remains in until she's given other clothes. This dress shows visible fraying at the shoulder and collar, is much more opaque, and is apparently durable enough for Claire to tear bandages from it.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT DRESS. If you look at the bottom of this last photo, you will see the hem of this dress. Notice how the hem is the exact same opacity as the rest of the dress? This is because the entire dress is opaque, as opposed to the sheerness of the 1940s dress. You can also look at the differences in draping. The folds that occur in this iteration of the dress are much broader than the drape I pointed out earlier. This is because it is a much thicker, sturdier fabric! This is also apparent in the fraying at the shoulder and collar. Even in the low quality images I was able to find, you can see thick individual threads separating from each other and splitting. If similar damage occurred on a thinner plastic based fabric, this would not be happening!

Due to the lack of available images I unfortunately cannot dive into the whole 'bandage tearing' bit that this dress goes through tonight, but if I wake up still pressed about this I may go take screenshots myself and write a second part to this post. (I would also like to dive into how the dress absorbed the dirt stains but I'm not well educated enough in that particular scientific aspect of cloth yet.)

Thank you for reading an historical costuming student's rant on the inconsistencies in this one dress across this one episode of this one show. I will certainly be back.

One final note: I truly don't mean any offense to the costumers of this show. I understand very well that they had to do what they had to do, especially while dealing with a studio schedule and this being a pilot episode. These are just my thoughts, and though I would have done differently, what they did more than served its purpose. This is intended much more as a study on television costuming than a direct insult or callout <3

#ANYWAY #thanks for asking :)#m tag #costumery #costume analysis

Hiromi Saruya - Shimotsuma Monogatari Stage Costume OP (2004)

This one-of-a-kind OP was never released for commercial sale; the floral striped OP that we see Momoko wearing as she begrudgingly hangs out with Ichigo was made as a stage costume for the 2004 movie, Shimotsuma Monogatari. Due to being created a stage costume, this piece is likely lost in circulation; possibly in the hands of a second hand shop, costume and prop storage, or a private owner.
