finally finished my satin poet shirt and it’s so prettyyy if any vampire wants to transform me... well im all neck
#went with gold buttons + buttonholes + no lace in the end
#its actually pretty understated given its. a puffy satin shirt with gold buttons
#v comfortable too even if the collar is pretty tight
#funny that this collar fits just right but the charcoal cotton is too small to overlap (i just made braid ties for that one) when i used the
#same measurements for both. i might have used a larger seam allowance for the charcoal maybe
#anyway i recommend bernadette banner and marius lee's videos on 18th century shirts
#in case you wanna feel like a vampire. you dont even need a machine at all these are 100% doable by hand if you can handsew
#(in fact you can hand sew ANYTHING all those fancy 18th century clothes are pre-sewing machine)
#they use linen bc theyre doing it period accurate but cotton is cheaper and easier to cut bc you can just tear the fabric
#i make my body pieces 60cm long so i can use just 1m of fabric + i like short tops better anyway
#my satin was a stained offcut from the offcut bin so it was stupid cheap so if youre afraid to mess up or w/e just get cheap fabric!
#you just do more stuff bc you can just rationalize it as 'well if i mess up it was just 6 bucks' - same think for cheap sketchbooks etc
#anyway i kinda wanna buy some cheetah print satin for a light jacket now. maybe a haori style maybe even a shirt-jacket look
