La Repasseuse

Hello I'm back with a lingerie set this time ! It includes corsets, a corset cover and some drawers. Althought the painting that inspired me this time is older than usual, the cc I ended up making is fit for the 1870s, 1880s, 1890s & 1900s. More pics and download below

This set was mainly inspired by the Edgar Degas's painting : La Repasseuse (The Laundress/Ironer).

————————— Plain Corsets —————————

———————————————————————————

In the 19th and 20th corsets were used to achieve the fashionable shape of the times, provide bust support, maintain good posture and distribute the weight of the skirt's and petticoat's yards of fabric. Althought corsets were underwear judging from the paintings I've seen (cf reference pictures below) working women would sometimes take off their bodices when it was getting too hot (ironers, laundresses as well as peasants during harvest). I've kept these plain corsets pretty simple only featuring the boning channels (where the whale bones or steel bones would go) and a bit of cording under the bust, as I've seen on most corsets of that period.

I've made 2 versions :

is meant to be worn on top of clothing (presumably underwear but you do you) and as such are compatible with my skirts and split drawers

is meant to be worn under clothing (petticoat or skirt)

32 swatches : 22 solids & 10 floral patterns

2 versions

————————— Lace Corsets —————————

———————————————————————————

These are the same corset but with some lace at the top, a very common style but probably more expensive than the plainer ones.

These corsets too exist in 2 versions (V1 to wear over clothing and V2 to wear under).

32 swatches : 22 solids & 10 floral patterns

2 versions

——————— Embroidered Corsets ———————

———————————————————————————

These corsets are the same as the lace ones with added embroidery.

This type of embroidery is called flossing it's decorative but also practical : the flossing reduces the corset bones’ movements to improve the comfort of the wearer. These corsets too exist in 2 versions (V1 to wear over clothing and V2 to wear under).

36 swatches : 24 solids & 10 floral patterns

2 versions

—————————   Corset Cover  —————————

———————————————————————————

As the name implies corset cover were worn on top of corsets. Their purposes were to smooth over the corset lines (the equivalent of today's pantylines), to hide the corset's color (for it to not show under a lighter bodice), to absorb sweat so as to protect the bodice and finally especially in the edwardian era to act as padding to achieve the fashionable pigeon breast look.

That being said it seems not everyone wore corset covers from what I've seen.

Like corsets, corset cover too were sometimes used as workwear by women working in hot environnements (ironers, laundresses as well as peasants during harvest).

This corset cover includes 3 styles (pictured below) with different degrees of "laceyness". I tried my best to make it work for both 1880s and Edwardian fashion, in the end I think it's leaning more toward the later.

15 swatches : 3 styles (cf picture above) with 5 swatches of white/off white each

—————————   Split Drawers  —————————

———————————————————————————

For most of the 19th century and even the beginning of the 20th century, women drawers were open : they were composed of 2 legs that would be buttoned or tied together at the waist and that would overlap in the crotch but could be split appart when necessary.

I've made 2 versions of these, since I've seen both :

is tighter under the knee giving that poofy "bloomer" like shape

is straight legged

10 swatches with 5 different white & off white color ways

2 versions

The skirt on the toddler conversion can look a bit weird when the knees are bent. It's an unfortunate side effect of the dress being knee-length. In case it really bugs you, I made a V2 which is just above knee-length to minimize clipping.

Meiji Komorebi

A 1885 Japanese inspired Dress

I FINALLY Finished! I started this project back in 2020 a few weeks after TS4 Snowy Escape was released. At the moment it looked like a basic 1880's Bustle Dress, no big deal but once i reached the Weight paint mode it was a NIGHTMARE. You see? this dress have a slight Lobster Tail train and everytime i try to fix it it became harder and clippy. Frustrated and somewhat tired due the pandemic i decided to stash the project on the WIP folder and forget about it until a couple of days ago that resurfaced on my WIP's Folders so i revisited the project. Those damn weights didn't stood a chance and finally finished it.

The Dress is inspired on mid 1880's Japanese wear wore by the high class ladies on the Meiji Period Japan. They used to mix Kimono silks and Western patterns to create unique garments while still following the European fashionable dress.

1880s Separated Bustle Skirt

Download (sfs). No mesh required, but if you want the original dress, it’s no.3 of Linzlu’s 1880s bustle dresses (link broken, go here). More info and screenshots under the cut.

I wanted the bustle skirt to pair with the many Victorian shirts I’ve accumulated, so I separated it out. There is currently an issue with the bow’s texture when used with some of GildedGhost’s Victorian Visions shirts, but I will try and work that out in the future. If a more experienced modder is able to help, please do. There are many other shirts that work perfectly :)

Currently the skirt is in the original colours, but in the future I want to recolour it to match some popular existing pieces (Elfdor’s Ballgowns, GildedGhost’s pieces). Credit to @linzlu​ for the mesh and textures.

[dlupon]

El embarazo prosperaba fervientemente. Constance comenzaba a sentirse fatigada, algo olvidadiza y estaba manifestando algunos cambios de humor, lo que dejaba a Augustus consternado ante la idea de que eso dañara al bebe.

Augustus, con el pasar de los meses, había aceptado el embarazo de su mujer, llegando a sentirse emocionado por la inminente llegada del bebe, iniciando todos los preparativos, que resultaron ser algunos pocos, debido a la falta de dinero. Y así, con el progreso del embarazo, específicamente en el ultimo trimestre, Constance paso, a demás de sentirse fatigada, a presentar vómitos y mareos, lo que demandaba mucho reposo.

Cuando finalmente pudo sentirse un poco mejor, cito por varios días consecutivos a la hermana de Augustus, si bien no podía hacer demasiadas tareas domesticas, sus visitas le servía de distracción, ya que había decidido darle algunas clases de cocina, ahora que esta también, estaba casada.

Fue a mediados del otoño de 1881 cuando Constance se puso de parto, aunque al principio fue difícil y contaba con poca dilatación, el bebe llego rápido tras un poco de esfuerzo.

La familia Hartley contaba ahora con un nuevo miembro, una niña, a la que llamaron Fidelia.

Fidelia fue la alegría de ambos padres, que antes de su llegada, se sentían en un abismo económico. Daba la sensación de que, con la llegada de la niña, las cosechas florecían y, poco tiempo después, Augustus logro venderlas todas a un precio moderado, lo que les dio la posibilidad de extender un poco la casa.

Y ahora que podían permitirse un poco mas, disfrutaban del paso del tiempo con su pequeña niña.

Los años pasaron rápidamente para los Hartley mientras buscaban una manera mas efectiva de ganar mas dinero, la pequeña ya contaba con un año y querían darle a su hija una vida mejor, al menos Augustus, quien no quería que pasara trabajo, al igual que le sucedió a el cuando era un niño.

Y fue en 1887, cuando Augustus firmo un trato con la familia Merchant, donde aceptaba vender sus cosechas para que sean intercambiadas en los pueblos cercanos, la gente rica amaba consumir vegetales de buena calidad, y los que el sembraba lo eran. Fue en ese mismo año que Constance comprendió que nuevamente estaba embarazada.

Happy Simblreen!!!!!

English Stone Townhouse, circa 1890-ish!

Finally, I'm sharing one of my builds for the very first time! This house was designed for Finchwick in Henford on Bagley and took inspiration from buildings in Downton Abbey and All Creatures Great and Small (heavy on the All Creatures) as well as many, many images from Google (particularly this one). It is furnished for the late 1880's and early 1890's for an upper/middle class family.

The house has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a study upstairs, and an entryway, parlor, dining room, kitchen, and mudroom downstairs. It is historically accurate in my heart and very very slightly game tested.

I have decided to share both a shell and a fully furnished version. I use a lot of custom content and wanted to make it as easy for you to download without violating creators TOU so please read:

Build items - all linked in the sheet below with the exception of one arch, which is included in the CC folder for both downloads

Buy items - all sets are linked in the sheet below

Shell - download includes tray files and a CC folder with two files in it which I didn’t like because they were buried in large CC dumps by the creator (I got confused and gave up)

Furnished - download includes tray files and a CC folder with most of the individual objects used in the build. My policy was to throw in the pieces that were loose in my mods folder and not part of a larger set (or were paywalled ❌❌❌). I decided I’d rather play with fire than painstakingly hunt down every obscure piece of CC I used in this build.

A few items were part of bigger sets that I downloaded merged, but are also available unmerged. I did my best to specify in the CC list which items I used in my build in case you don’t want to download the whole set (but I recommend you do!)

Lmk if anything is funky or not linked properly! I didn't double check anything because that's not my speed (sorry).

Greene Anne - 1880s-1900 eastlake queen anne house, CC-free

Exterior progress - 2024

This build has also been going on since late 2022! I've been calling it a sort of stick-style-carpenter-gothic-queen-anne. Original inspo pic here. The part that has taken the longest is also the most essential to these styles: Gingerbreading. I knew I wanted it on this build, but actually figuring out which assets to manipulate in which way to make it look real was something I spent months on. Turns out roof spindles and corbels work the best! 

When I started I had been binge watching this channel that does tours of these gorgeous period houses with detailed explanations of all the historic features. Since then the channel has deservedly blown up and posts very frequently, and I have a backlog of stuff to binge watch again >:)

I had also recorded most of the beginning of the build and actually started to try to learn to edit for once too. Unfortunately I deleted the footage because I ran out of space and the build was taking too long. Hopefully that wont be an issue now that I'm not on a laptop.

La Normande

Hello everyone here is a set inspired by Normandy. It includes 4 custom cows, shawls and folk-wear bonnets for all ages.

More pics and download below

——————————— Shawls ———————————

22 swatches for the pattern version

the weights are a bit weird near the armpit ... I did my best

—————— Folk-wear Children Bonnets ——————

———————————————————————————

28 swatches

2 versions : with and without ribbon tied

available for all ages and both frames

—————————  Work Bonnet  —————————

———————————————————————————

2 swatches : a white and an off-white

teen to elder only

———————— Normande Cows —————————

———————————————————————————

These are custom cows of the Normande breed. Normande cows are white with "lunettes" (litterally "spectacles" meaning their coat is dark around the eyes). Typically there are 3 sorts so I made one of each type and added one that is a bit of a mix.

Blonde - coat with a big blonde/light red-pied spot covering most of the body but leaving the belly white

Bringée - coat with a dark red-pied (to almost black-pied) spot covering most of the body but leaving the belly white

Caille - brown speckles on white coat

This breed dates back to the 18th century and, as the name indicates, originated from Normandy. Normande cows have been bred for both milk and meat, but it's nowadays mostly considered a dairy breed. Historically the dairy industry has been a big focus in Normandy, which is still to this day a region well-known for its milk, cream, butter and cheeses (including Camembert).

The Normande breed is still very present in Normandy but can be found in the rest of France (it once was the most common dairy breed here) and all around the world, especially in South America.

Kati - an 1870s winter dress

You might think July is a terrible time to make another winter dress. You might be right. But it also snowed two months ago so I think it's fair game still. Yay for Nordic weather.

There's not all that much to say about this dress. It's continuing the Catherine diminutive theme. The skirt is just below ankle-length to keep it from dragging in the snow. Could probably go ice skating in it. The bustle shape is a bit less prominent than in my other bustle dresses, because I was going for more of a mid-1870s look. It's definitely still very bustle-y. And very fluffy and warm. And bulky.

Preview screenshots were taken BEFORE I playtested it and did some final weight adjustments, so if you see something weird in the previews, don't worry about it.

Queen Alexandra Hair

I decided a clear out of of my work-in-progress folder was needed (it's larger than my cc folder!) and found this!

This is the hairstyle that Queen Alexandra (wife of Edward VII) wore from the 1880s onward.

It's also accidently very similar to the usual hairstyle of Aunt Ada from the Gilded Age! I've just finished watching the series and have already started working on some of the hairstyles so you can look forward for those in the near future!

TOU: Feel free to recolour or edit to your hearts content, just don’t make people pay for it. (full tou here)

1880s Button-up Shirt (for kids)

Download (sfs). This is an edit of the @chere-indolente​ Dans le Serre dress, but the mesh is not required. This was a quick upload, no more info or screenshots, enjoy. Modelled by Jo and Thea.

It was made to go with the child bustle skirt, so it looks weird with other bottoms.

1890s english farmhouse - historically accurate

Another European build!

This time it's an English farmhouse from the 1880-1890s.

It belongs to a decently well-off family, and although they’ve tried to keep it up-to-date, it’s still a bit old-fashioned. It has three bedrooms, one master and two for children, two bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a living-dining room.
