Since today is my 35th birthday, I put together a compilation of outfits I filmed during my 35th year on earth.

As someone who likes historically-inspired clothing, I’ve sometimes heard, “Women fought to not have to dress like that! What’s wrong with you?!”

Yes- to not HAVE to. Which is good and noble and important. Except….I don’t have to. I want to.

You have the right to wear pants, or crop tops, or a sweatsuit, and I have the right to wear petticoats and corsets. and neither of us are being forced into it, because of that battle our ancestors fought

It was not a fight to dictate women’s clothing in a direction you, personally, like better

Astarion, or; the Easiest Shirtsleeves - Done!

where are the nonbinary english lit/history majors and teachers who can still wear pronoun pins under our increasingly fascist education system

i made this for u

(i mean i made it for me mostly but that's just how the artistic process works babey)

it's based on illuminated manuscripts and the 1375 translation of william and the werewolf, which features the first recorded use of singular they in english

Dress : Handmade ♡ Based on a LeFlacon dress Hat : ahgdfhjgd actually an official One Piece merch that I modified Gloves : Vintage Shoes : MollyPolly on Taobao Parasol : Angelic Pretty

I made a new dress based on my favorite LeFlacon dress (which is sadly starting to get really worn) and I'm so happy with the result. The peacock blue ribbon wasn't the initial color I had planned but it's actually so cute ♡ And unlike the og dress, it's in full cotton ♡♡♡

In case anyone’s wondering how our move to Madrid is working out, today involved my landlord toting a duffel bag full of chainmaille, plate armor, and a broadsword up to our apartment so he, my husband, and I could all nerd out about historical clothing together. The three of us wound up comparing notes through broken English, terrible Spanish, and Google Translate for an hour. 

Landlord: has mad metalworking and leatherworking skills, but no sewing skills and minimal woodworking skills. Needs a gambeson for his chainmaille and wants a wooden horse crest for his plate helmet. Can’t speak English well enough to find tutorials on YouTube.

My husband: has some metalworking skills including several years of making chain maille whne we were in uni, and mad woodworking skills including beginning carving. Has been wanting to learn to make swords for longer than we’ve been married.

Me: Has intermediate sewing skills, mostly in historical clothing and making quilts, is a native English speaker who knows how to find just about any skill set tutorial on YouTube. Has been wanting to experiment with medieval clothing.

Today has been a good day, y’all.

BTS the Afrovictorian ensemble: the day bodice

when last we left our intrepid heroine they were trying to figure out how they wanted to use the remaining fabrics to craft the jacket/daytime bodice.

Couple of strong options but I wasn't feeling either of them particularly. Time to go shopping.

Kidding, I enjoyed the trip. Here's the new candidates.

Okay, comparing the pieces of the new pattern to the completed dinner bodice seems like we don't strictly _need_ to do a mockup... Fuck it. We're cutting the final fabric.

Good start...

Sleeve fits...

Brave, if I do say so myself

Bonus: I needed a bigger bustle.

So that's another set of head to toe looks!

If We Commented On Modern Fashion Videos Like We Do Historical Fashion Videos

"I mean, it's pretty, but how did you even use the BATHROOM in that?! GROOOOOOSS!!!!"

"things to wear while coughing your lungs out from COVID and wildfire smoke and trying to avoid your fascist neighbor lol"

"yikes, think about how they all had to wear Spanx two sizes too small, though!"

[video shows reasonably nice everyday clothing] "but that's just what RICH PEOPLE wore! not REAL PEOPLE!!!"

[model is a woman of color] "um sweety only WHITE women wore that back then :/"

"did you know that [confidently incorrect, absolutely insane statement about the 2020s that the poster will then argue vehemently about in the replies]"

I wore a full Edwardian look for the first time recently, while attending a historical costuming meet up! You can read about it, see way more photos, and also read my outfit rundown (because most of it isn’t handmade tbh) on my blog~
