Fooduary Day 16: Carrot Cake

In 1814 a super popular recipe for a “Gateau de Carottes” was published. Theoretically they evolved from carrot puddings but I maintain that there’s a difference that matters. Carrot cake isn’t necessarily my go-to cake but it is tasty and cream cheese frosting is always a fabulous bonus.

1811 cotton dress + wool knit spencer, complete! I originally made the dress for summer but never got the chance to get photos then, so now it's an xmas ensemble 👌

The base dress was a Fig Leaf Patterns morning dress with a lot of alterations (size, proportion, fitted back and sleeves, closed dress, etc etc) and I used the resulting pattern for the spencer as well.

I referenced a couple of 1810-11 fashion plates from Costume Parisien for the trim and spencer. Solid red cotton is almost certainly not a period-accurate choice, but I had it on hand and it was the right weight and fiber. ✌️ Wool knit is more accurate for rural European garments than for elite fashion, but again - I had it on hand and liked it! For the bonnet, I chopped up a straw sun hat and decorated with with my red cotton and a few other scraps. With a light silk petticoat and my 1790s boots, this ensemble was great for a rainy 50f day. ❤️

This was a quick painting, and it looks like it too. (Then again, "quick" is relative, in this case I finished this within around 2,5 hours, so your mileage may vary 🙃).

Instead of the usual brushpen (filled with chinese ink), I used my fountain pen to line it this time (which is now filled with the 54th Massachusetts ink! 😏💙✨), since it behaves so well on this paper I painted on 😅😆🙈. Not too shabby I say, though I prefer my usual choice. I can definitely use this for invoking a different mood than usual...👀

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

Vanity Fair / Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp

In this scene, Becky discovers that she is bankrupt, nearly has all her possessions seized, and accepts money from a nobleman to pay her bills, getting into an even worse sort of debt.

There's a great writeup of the costumes for this movie at the Costume Vault blog, here. I'll quote a significant passage: "Color wise the designs for Becky center around a very simple idea: the base color for her is red, and depending on her social and emotional state her dresses have more or less red in them. The happier and more comfortable she is, the more red is included within the costume. However, when she is drifting away from her goals or plainly unhappy, her dresses go to darker and grimmer colors." So here, you can see that she is not doing particularly well, being dressed almost entirely in blue--but there is just a thread of red going through it to show that there is still a tiny bit of hope, perhaps.

Her necklace, much like the one worn with her red ball gown, resembles a chain. This is almost certainly also symbolic!
