🌼 Seafoam Daisy 🌼
Already have my sights set on another project after I get my stays done 😍✨
Link to the shop (x)
My first attempt at making a domed 3D model, this is supposed to be a button. (Without the shank because I'd add it later in the resin stage :P) Inspired by a Phillip V 1723 coin.
Why would I be making a button you ask. Well thank you for asking.😌 Because The Uniforms are bane of my existence of course.
Who gave you the right???
It would probably take at least 50ish buttons for the coat and I don't know about you but I'd rather not spend 100+ € on buttons. Not when I can make them myself. Would they be the same quality? Probably not the same as solid metal buttons but I do think resin can compete with some plastic ones. If only the coat didn't have so many buttons. :/
I now realize I haven't told you what I'm planning. Whoops. Okay, some of you may know I'm going to make a stay, which made me think of making some pirate shirts and pants aaaaannddd then I realized I had a nice thick wool fabric that could make a nice coat and that's how I want to also make a Salazar style coat. :D (Yes I am stealing the most renowned Pirate Hunter's coat for my Pirate Outfit and if that isn't the Ultimate Pirate Move then I don't know what to tell you 😜)
For the white "stripes" I'm most likely going to use a cotton twill tape (thank you @montmartre-parapluie) because I'm a little unsure where I could get my hands on this kind of trim. Never seen a pattern like it before so it might have been made specifically for the film. (Also why do I keep finding all these good photos of the bloody medals NOW and not when I was researching them???? Smh Google is a traitor)
I will not be making the uh shoulder thingys (sorry @acidyellowlava forgot what they were called again) and the medals since I don't want people to stare too much at me, just enough 😌💅✨ kidding kidding
I have ordered the pattern (thank you so much again @montmartre-parapluie I'd be lost without you) but not any cotton tape since I am slightly unsure about the width of them. I'm thinking that the widest is probably 40mm? But I could be wrong so I want to make the coat first and then eyeball the sizes of the different tapes. Same for the buttons. I believe they are 25mm (I doubt they are as large as 30mm but I could be wrong).
I have 3m of the black wool (1.5 m wide), which according to the pattern should be enough. But since I'm not exactly short I'm a little Suspicious 👀 However I could always order more but hopefully it won't come to that!
The first month of 2021 isn't over and I've already planned my whole year full😂 oh well, it's worth it! I'm probably going to make the coat last, hopefully I'll have gotten enough practice from the other stuff by then so that I can do it justice and make Salazar mad.😌
Enough rambling for now, hope you all are staying safe.❤️

I don’t know what new historical costumer or historybounder needs to hear this, but Sense and Sensibility Patterns is run by a woman- Jennie Chancey -who founded a blog called Ladies Against Feminism, wrote a bunch of books about Biblical submission to one’s husband, and is married to a conservative politician with whom she used to run a sketchy, exploitative business they claimed was helping women in Kenya
She’s gone remarkably quiet in her views since getting big with historical costumers (a largely progressive demographic). But she has yet to publicly address whether she still believes all that, so…better to just avoid giving her money for now

Well, it only took two months after finishing, but I finally got together enough gumption to do a quick photo session with me actually WEARING the costume, as opposed to arranging it artistically on the dummy. And I have to say, I’m super pleased with how it turned out! The wig was a hesitant first cosplay wig but, but it was easy to style and close enough to my own hair colour - whilst being a nice nod to Keira Knightley’s hair in the film. Also wig glue =magic, people! had a try with that, and it’s so good!!!I didn’t have to worry about losing bobby pins or it falling off my head if I moved. I foresee more use for it in a more historical context... But, in the mean time, I can now dress appropriately should I be abducted by skeletal pirate horrors of nature. Drink up me hearties, yo ho! ☠️☠️☠️
HOW DID I MISS THIS???
It's perfect! Absolutely gorgeous!! You are living the dream😍😍
Uggghhh the colour is so gorgeous, can never get enough of it!😍😍😍😍 all the trims and the LACE!!!! Yes I am definitely holding you accountable for my new obsession. :P
I don't even know what to say, like you nailed it. How does it feel now when you've accomplished perfection?(●♡∀♡)
Me if I ever know its location 😂👇:
Better lock those doors😉

Elizabeth Swann Plum Gown Completed
Just a quick preview for everyone - as soon as the classic ‘British November weather’ of torrential rain and eternal darkness clears up enough I plan to try and squeeze a photoshoot in somewhere! But the plum gown is now finished, and I’m so, SO happy with how it turned out!
Plus, my American Duchess Kensington shoes look great with it. Considering sewing on some red binding round the edges at some point to get them more like the original film-worn shoes, but that’s more ‘optional for the obsessive little details.’
Just one more gown to go, and then the Elizabeth Swann Project will be complete. I’m wondering whether I want to make myself suffer should add to my workload by including the Elizabeth Swann wedding gown from Dead Man’s Chest. It’s a heart-stoppingly lovely gown…
I have never wanted to steal a dress more in my life!!!!😍😍😍 don't ever tell me your address @montmartre-parapluie because I will come knocking😜
It's so soooooo gorgeous!!! *Chefs kiss* Perfection!
Ugggghhhhhh the colour is so lovely, I want to be wrapped around in it like a burrito 😍🌯 Once again you've blown me away with your skills! I'd be up for more suffering dresses!🥺🙏 I am sure it would look just as gorgeous, if not more so.❤️
