Also: Today I have once again felt very gay after watching a Nicole Rudolph video where she makes a cool tailored jacket and then gives me intense eyes at the end.

A screen capture, for demonstrative purposes:

Me, listening to the jazz and swing music made in the style of the 1920s: Oh that's nice
My goblin brain: You should make a flapper dress, not like the costumes but like they wore
: I absolutely do not need to get started on another era, nor do I need a flapper dress, and I don't want to buy frivolous fabric
: You could probably take apart that one second hand dress you got from that one friend that kind of looks like a flapper dress but is the wrong shape?
: ...intriguing.

I have photographed the things I made! Join me for a brief thread!
Remember the #CinnamonLinenJacket and the #CinnamonLinenSkirt? Here they are, also with new slimmer petticoat and Second Largest Hat, which I never previously took any good photos of.

Forgive me posting the link before I've finished the video, but I am just so tickled by Abby Cox in her "I'm just gonna say it" era. "Before you go, Abby, why would you say suffragists were criminals? They fought for our right to vote. Yeah, they did. And breaking the law was an important part of that process. You can be both a hero for human rights and a criminal. They usually go hand in hand."

Hat pins! Sass! History! Outfits!

Femmes of the vintage and DIY lingerie persuasion with larger busts, a video has dropped for you! Maria makes two vintage bras out of non-stretch cotton sateen which is a pretty approachable material to try.

I've been making mine for a while now, mostly out of modernised 1930s patterns and vintage styles, as they can easily be made from cotton jersey. The modern construction is much more fiddly than in the video, as stretch materials are the devil!

Fan studies and historian friends, I need your help. I need some examples of historical fan behaviour or fashion etc centred on military leaders. My brain is stuck on the Garibaldi shirt, but any good study of this or examples would be great. #fanstudies #historicalfashion

post: Drawn Data Viz - chair sitting

Growing up when there was a lesson about etiquette, or proper manners, we were told how to sit on a chair. As an adult I like making charts and one of my hobbies is learning about historical fashion. How could that go wrong, right?

Who has links for online national acrchives? I'm loving browsing through fashion magazines from the past, so if you have recs for those, please add. No translation options needed. #historicalfashion #sewing #history #historybounding @sewing

A little #HistoricalCostuming interlude! Here's this screenshot of the latest Prior Attire video, where Izabela is showing off different 1830s clothes.
But look! Look! It's just applied bias strips on a bodice and it looks so cute and fun and interesting, oh heck! I don't think I've ever seen this up close before.

I made this outfit a while ago and it's still one of my favorites. It was mostly inspired by Edwardian fashion. There was a ton of hand-stitching done on the blouse between the insertion lace, buttonholes, and finishing seams, so it took a total of 55 hours to make.
