1840s photo set (Patreon)

Hi there!As promised, here's the new costume for the next roleplay! It was made from a sketch based on historical dresses and movie costumes from ‘Lady Macbeth’ and ‘Jane Eyre’ (2011), you can find the sketching video by clicking here.The roleplay will probably take place in 1847 and you'll be treated to some kind of spooky (but relaxing) séance, led by a troubled but bold character. I have to admit that some parts of the dress weren't exactly how I wanted them, and choosing fabric from a distance is definitely something I won't do again (it's a lovely colour and looks good in the photos / videos, but the feel really isn't authentic at all). But on the whole, I'm quite happy with the end result, which I wanted to be classic and a little stern.I chose to have a boned bodice so that I wouldn't have to wear a corset - I have a high waist and corsets tend to crush my chest, I can't breathe - so I don't have that typical mid-19th century ‘slim’ waistline but my ego will eventually get over it 😅The collar is pretty but unfortunately I soon realised it was made of polyester and I'm thinking of replacing it with a vintage cotton lace collar, let me know what you think! 🤔(and oh, don't pay attention to my hair here!)I've now got almost everything I need for this video, so I'm starting to dress the set and the script is taking shape. I'm really having fun with this project and I think the video will be out on 27 October. In the meantime, a "cosy basic" will be published next week, Wednesday (hair styling) :)Have a lovely day!
