St Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, teaches us, "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
It's something we tend to forget, I think. If we believe in God, we believe that He is the creator of ALL things, everything flows from Him. Therfore, all Good things must have an element of Him, and these elements should be sought after passionately. Whether that be a beautiful sunset, a quiet forest, a gorgeous woman, the laughter of a child, a good book, anything. The True, the Good, the Beautiful, these things we must search and cherish.

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.

The highly scientific method of figuring out the squishing factor of your fabric for cartridge pleats: It will only want to fold as tightly and densely as the thickness and malleability of the fabric allows, just squish it until you've got about one centimetre of squished fabric, mark it down, eyeball if you've got enough gathering happening. If you do, just sew in the gathering threads, ease it onto whatever you need to. Not enough? Deeper pleats, repeat.

I loved making Elizabethan menswear, such interesting shapes and a construction

One of my issues with #HistoricalCostuming is that I have less than zero interest in the underpinnings, other than stays and corsets. I don't want to make chemises, I don't want to make false rumps or farthingales or panniers, but I'm also too frugal to buy something I could make myself 🤣

Anyway I freehanded a tudor-era smock and it's not pretty but it'll do the job.

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.

Atelier Sylphe ( @ateliersylphe ) is now on here and this is a post of adoration! I've been making corsets for over 20 years now and the patterns are my favourite I've ever used, with links to really granular instructions. Made from actual antique corsets and following all the historical lines to great effect!

Here I'm wearing my Late Victorian single layer coutil corset which I made in 2022.
