      @@TheClosetHistorian That is an excellent point about T-shirts. Silk scarves are far more chic and on-brand anyway!
      I could also see this as a cheeky little needlepoint pin cushion; that tickles my particular sense of whimsy, as well. 😆

    Kitties do fine when moving; they are just children. You move, you stick them in the car, they squall and complain for a while, then they go to sleep.
    You get to the destination/house, and you unload the kitties into the house.
    They sniff around a while, they get used to it, and they're good.
    I have eight myself, and have moved multiple times with half of them.
    They will be fine when you do move.
    Thank you for the video; your creations are simply beautiful. Love seeing them! 🖤

    The lace from the slip looked intentional so a panel with lace might look amazing to and you could choose your lace color. Though multiple colored slips to match your accessories would also be fun. The dress is beautiful and the insert is fun. Good job!

In fact, with the hair length you have, a 1920s coccon style coat over the beetle style dress… hooded coat if course with long black gloves… the imagination does run a bit wild! But lovely…. and timely, as I have some linens and have been using a bodice block (thanks to you) and already drafted a wrap dress (thanks to you!) but just need to find time to sew them ☺️☺️👍🏻👍🏻 Eventually, soon-ish 🤞🏻 Happy sewing and looking forward to mini Look Book! 🥰☺️ Best, Lynne

    I love that dress. It’s very beautiful on you and you did an amazing job as usual you managed to make black into a very summery dress!
    I am a huge fan of linen and I’m very happy to see you use it.

    I've been indulging the little goth girl that I wasn't allowed to be when I was 13 so I am loving all the black clothing!

    Hi, I'm just a little bit late at the moment. We have been attracting all kinds of pollen so I'm spending most of my days in a pollen coma and I'm experiencing delays.
    I want to say how fabulous your eye makeup is done. If you have a couple of minutes over in your already overstuffed calendar I would just love to see how you did that... wrong way wing... thing? it looks really sophisticated. Also extra points fo the hat content towards the end here. A hat will always make a good thing even better. Be safe with the traveling around sein new things, buying new houses. Yours, Ann

    In stead of promising not to work in black next time why not add a pop of color to a black piece. (Color blocking or colored lining) This piece in particular would look amazing with a colored lining peeking out along the hem. 😊

    What a great dress! I would love to see it in a bronze or a forest green!! I really like that you've made the neckline higher. It's given me great inspiration as I love wrap dresses but tend to avoid them because of a larger bust that causes most wraps to end up under my bust and very low-cut.

      Thank you! I wish it were easier to find forest green fabrics, such a great color!

    Fabulous! I really liked the bit of lace peaking out from the opening gap! Maybe instead of closing it, use it to add a flash of colour and/or texture?

      Thank you Jeanne! I like the look with the lace too, a good excuse for more fun slips

    Loved how this turned out, Asian, Asymmetrical and the Koi...perfect pairing! I also loved the over sized bias tape used in the manor you used it....not sure I would have thought to do that. Thanks

    I'm assuming the hat you're wearing in the thumbnail is true vintage? It's lovely!

      @TheClosetHistorian  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! This one is actually a modern etsy find from a few years ago (no longer available sadly). One of my very few contemporary hats. I have a similar vintage one but it is sadly too small for me

    For the "godet" i would maybe call it a godetac. As in like a godet but not actually one. Same suffix as cardic
