If you have a very curvy body shape, you probably struggle with a lot of off-the-rack clothes.

    I love that color! Just a tip for anyone reading this: when cutting something out from a pillowcase, you will get much less shifting of the fabric if you iron it first. The sewn together sides seem to pull the fabric in weird directions when cutting it out.

    • @OdessaDenby
      @OdessaDenby Месяц назад

      Yes! That's why I pinned the two layers together before cutting. I didn't talk about it in VO, but I find even if you iron it (which I didn't in this case 😅) pinning is still really helpful if it's stitched together.

    Patreon has a new feature that allows you to add a pay to unlock feature for certain posts. So if you don't want to commit to a monthly subscription, but just get certain content, you can. It was my intention to set up a $1 fee for the PDF pattern pieces of this project so you could use them for reference, but apparently $3 is the minimum Patreon will allow you to charge (plus fees from the app, coming out to about $4.50 USD). My lowest Patreon tier (all tiers get all benefits) is $3, so it seemed silly to charge more for a single post. I hope you understand. If you want the pattern and other extra content, consider becoming a $3 patron for one month.

      The coolest thing in the world is to not care about being cool lol A lot of historical styles look amazing on thicker bodies because they are designed to create a silhouette rather than just trying to make you disappear as much as possible.

Thank you for the tea staining link -- I've always just assumed it was an imperfect process with inevitably unruly results 😅 I would add maybe some kind of wristwear for him maybe -- could be something cloth that could be soaked in water for hot renfaire weather. Also maybe some head wear -- a hat, kerchief or bandana. If he wears jewelry, that could be a good addition or if he doesn't, maybe there's some metallic embellishments on his accessories?

      Definitely looking for a good hat or bandana! I don't know what happened to my old tricorn from back when I was active in the faire scene. At a previous faire we picked up a skeleton key on a cord that I think would be a good addition for him too...

      I've seen that in the last few years, simple feminine dresses you can pull on over your head have been getting popular. This was my attempt at creating something with the features I like from those dresses without engaging in a fast fashion purchase.
