New pieces I would like The Princess of Wales to add to her wardrobe (1,220/?)

Dress by Emilia Wickstead

I’d love to see Kate pair this with a hat for a church service or garden party. I’d also add a navy belt to break up the pattern a little.

Available here.

I just think that there should be more stories about them crashing fancy space parties.

#invader zim #ZADR #zadr day #dib membrane #Zim #Did Zim purposefully dress Dib up in irken elite formal wear #did he do this to scandalize any irken at the party? #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hmmmm maaaaybe #Dib did not expect being dipped like a chip #did I have a hard time drawing said scandalized aliens? #also maybe #chellos art tag #the brainrot is terminal #zadrday

Tang in dresses I think he'd like :3c

#Self indulgent post tbh dresses are so fun to draw and he looks good in them #He looks good in anything long and flowy tbh #Dresses chosen partially because I like them and partially because I think he'd be comfy in them too #I say dresses but it's kind of skirts too actually woops #They're all pretty casual I think? I don't know how formal wear works 💀 #Gender is a myth that I refuse to adhere to let him wear dresses Lego!!! #One of his friends compliments him on a dress one day and he says smth along the lines of “yeah I know I slay” with- #complete confidence and everyone in the room takes mental damage #he may be pretty but he is still cringefail #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk #lmk tang #monkie kid tang #zaacoy art💫

Does he realize be dresses like a butler tho

Can't a man wear a little black suit and white gloves and go around cleaning things and fixing people a spot of tea without being told he looks like a butler? Tsk tsk.

#my draws #doodles #asks #sorry just having fun with my boy right now haha... #anyway as far as he is concerned he simply dresses NICELY or FORMALLY but doesn't wish to dress IMMODESTLY #so his outfits tend towards the prim but understated... like a butler i suppose #wearing black for mourning doesn't help #he can dress more ostentatiously - but has little reason to do so these days #theo #amaranthine

#nudity warning #guess whos back from college yipee (i was trembling for the entirety of my first day) #it was nice to be talking to people but having to talk to people drained so much out of me that i slept at 9. which is bizzare #drew the middle one while waiting for my afternoon class. what is there to even say i fantasize about women daily #also i like to think for fem!reborn but young she’ll have those puffy flowy dresses but black. #since if reborn originally followed traditional mindsets and standards when it comes to clothing he went for suits (which he later #-proceeds to expand his wardrobe and goes for crossdressing looks like reboko (one of his alt identities) #but would mostly have clothes following the traditional sense #fem reborn would love vests and formal clothings too i think but if in child form the fandom had reborn originally in an ouji-esque look #with top vest and shorts. so i think those puffy lolita dresses are cute for her #tsuna is just tsuna lol but i referenced her hair from levy mcgarden in fairytail #her hair is extremely iconic for me its so pretty #one reason why i chose her hair for reference is that if you just change her hair color to brown she’s literally tsuna’s fem doppelganger #another reason is that i like levy mcgarden #shes just silly ok i love her #and if youre in the fandom you’ll know her abilities which for me at 14 year old was cool as hell #katekyo hitman reborn #r27 #sawada tsunayoshi #reborn #fan art #genderbend

Hot Take

museums should label 19th-century women’s clothing primarily by formality (except in the case of garments with specific purposes, eg. “cycling costume” or “nightgown”), not by the 10,000 different terms they might be called at the time

my reasoning is that the current hodgepodge of terms, while technically accurate to the period:

1. reinforces the myth that middle- or upper-class women used to always change their dresses many times a day No Matter What, rather than what seems to me the primary-source-supported reality- that they changed situationally, as necessary

2. promotes unnecessary disconnect between the past and the present. we have varying degrees of clothing formality today, just without specific terms for each one. they had garments that could serve for multiple purposes and be dressed up or down with accessories back then. but because we don’t talk about an “afternoon dress” vs. a “ball gown” and they didn’t talk about the dress code for a party being “nice casual” vs. “dressy.” there’s this false idea that our systems of clothing changes/formality are Totally Different. which is really not the case, I think

3. even they couldn’t agree on what to call each individual outfit! I’ve seen fashion plates in magazines where the textual description and the label on the image give the same dress different names

this post brought to you by: Marzi Has Seen Too Many Gowns Labeled “Evening Gown” On Museum Websites Apparently For Their Formality When In Truth They Do Not Have The Single Factor That Usually Made A Dress Strictly For Evening At The Time (namely, revealing more skin about the chest and arms) And Therefore Would Have Stood Just As Well For Formal Daytime Events

#dress history #museums #fashion history #19th century #like no you would not necessarily change from Nightgown to Morning Dress to Afternoon Dress to Dinner Dress to Evening Dress every day #'morning dress' is usually basically what we'd call a fancy bathrobe anyway #'afternoon dress' seems to basically be another term for 'cocktail dress' or semi-formal #if you're not going to a fancy event at any time during the day then a 'day dress' would have served until bedtime #or a 'walking dress' although sometimes there's a difference in skirt length there #MAYBE you might have had to change for dinner with your family if they were very formal but #yeah no they would have found changing a zillion times EVERY DAY as tiresome and pointless as we do #(generally. I'm sure some particularly fashion-obsessed socialites were Down but they were the exception even in their own class) #'promenade gown' literally just means 'fancy day dress' #'opera gown' 'ball gown' and 'evening gown' all seem to be basically interchangeable #in interpreting for the public we should not fall into their trap of making this more complex than it needs to be

[crystalbehindthescenes]

We always talk shit about Mamorus bad fashion and usually think his manga fashion style is very decent (besides the cow print anyway lol)

But listen the boy literally cant dress right he doesnt even wear a tuxedo right, theres 3 types for specific occassions with specific etiquette and our boy is wearing all 3 styles at once what a mess.

imagine newspaper articles and forums just clowning in his drip lmaoooooo

#im breaking his tuxedo mask design down and #he wears a white tie specifically that we can confirm but he doesnt have a tailcoat #in act 4 we see his fit entirely and yeah he wears a white tie blazer but it doesnt have a tailcoat #naoko just doesnt draw it at any point #and in act 6/7 when Usagi learns his identity #he wears suspenders and a cummerbund belt which is a BLACK TIE tuxedo style #which implies under all that white tie shit hes wearing black tie shit #according to the articles i read you don't really do that thats bad etiquette #so Mamorus dressed really nice for sure but the tuxedo police would clown him for sure #also the cape is lowkey corny my boy went to party city and got a cape #he also wears the tuxedo in the middle of day usagi points this out #idk if naoko knew this but usagi has a point you dint wear a white tie in the middle of the day #you can wear morning suits and black ties during the day tho #he also wears this red ribbon in crystal and manga but i never seen white ties wear the red ribbon #in the manga this red ribbon is what holds his brooch in crystal the brooch just sits on his shirt #black ties are formal for sure but a more lenient on color too #white ties its only black or a super dark blue #this is more a situation of bad anatomy but how tight the tuxedo look on him in Crystal all 3 styles implies a tight fit #which is ill fitted he cant wear it right lol #in the early chapters especially its a lot looser fit but idk if its bad or not but it def wasnt making his arms and legs twiggy lookin #mamoru chiba #tuxedo mask #nikki talks
