Lowkey scared no one will give a fuck since i got no followers but

I did a project where i decided to get clothes i don’t wear or like anymore and make new ones out of them

I got a small starting pile of them and let my creativity run wild

For starters i got these 3 pieces and with some scissors, a needle, 2 different colour rolls of string and a lot of hope i made a set

This is what i made out of them after a long day.

The top of the dress was too tight for my chest so i took some (more than needed) of the stretchy fabric of the top since i was gonna steal the sleeves anyway so that it’d fit me better. Took the long end of the dress too - i didn’t like the pants since were so plain and simple, so i add the very last row of the dress onto them and sew it some more on the inside to give the 2-part illusion. (Which you cant see here💔)

Its very very simple i know but its the first time i sit and sew such a big project, in fact, its the first time i actually sat to sew anything. Im proud of myself.

If anyone sat to read until here i want to know your opinion, i like it much better now, would definitely wear this over the old looks reduce reuse recycle baby!

On the eve of grandpa's death he wrote a letter and sent a package that contained an antique, gold hand mirror that belonged to your grandma.

This is an icon that makes your Fashion Sense mirror look like an antique gold one. I just wanted something that was simple and more warmed toned for my inventory. It's just a little gold hand mirror that looks cute while you carry it with you! Nothing too special, but if you want it you can download it here on Nexus Mods.

DFQC costumes master post

Some of the costumes in this show are doing a lot more than the basic functions of reflecting the characters' tribal allegiance, social roles and status, or current activity. Especially Dongfang Qingcang's costumes are doing a lot more than this: they're suggesting or reinforcing ideas about the character's state of mind. I loved this about it, I noticed it a lot, and I want to talk about it.

Someone put a lot of work into imagining, designing, and making these clothes, and since I can't read Mandarin I don't know who those people are, but I want to point out some parts of their work I appreciated.

Assumptions: in this genre the clothes aren't supposed to behave like real clothing - the whole point of them is to be artistic drapery, to carry meaning and feeling and beauty. Any resemblance to real clothes of any location or period is purely an artistic reference. Their effects in telling the story rely on the viewer's own experience and whatever associations her mind draws from the visual elements provided. What I draw from them with my Western eye, informed by Western art history (including its relationship with Chinese arts and crafts made for export), is going to miss all the things that rely on Chinese art history and culture for specific meanings and associations. On the other hand, I'm going to see parallels, and maybe make accidental or wrong associations, that might be interesting and entertaining.

These are the costumes I want to write about. So this is my listing post, and then I'll edit these and make them links as I go along. The list might change.

The hunting dress

The badass look, and varations on black and gold

The boots! (I want them)

The honey-coloured gown (wow)

The déshabillé

Human Realm outfits: the Black Satin (with diversions to the National Gallery, the Rijksmuseum and the Prado) and the Moon Gowns.

The chrysalis gown

The fire gown

The mourning suit (OMG!)

The crowns

I might do some other characters as well, but maybe not yet. Feel free to get there first!

[sincericida]

am i a bad person for first thinking “what tf is she wearing?”, and then proceed to say out loud “holy crap she’s rubbing on the awful taste already” because i ain’t fan of that shirt and knitted vest bless him dear god

i feel bad and i know i know i’m not supposed to judge or be mean and mind my own fucking business but what the fuck

also yeah glad to see him… at the cost is my sight and utter dismay

If you’re bad for it, you’re not alone, because I’m also being even involuntarily. She already has that questionable fashion sense (I feel like she wants to look like someone exotic and mystical - but it turns out to be a bit ridiculous, so Idc), but he apparently put his hand in a basket and picked up random pieces. Sorry, Andrew.

Chrysalis Gown

I think this first appears in Episode 14. It's in-between some scenes with the Honey-coloured gown, during the early process of transformation. This one seems to be for more formal, business occasions.

We get a well-lit view of the absolute bunfight of colours and patterns going on here. The shirt is particoloured, in red and green, both woven with gold in identical patterns, and cut and pieced together in this high, tight, stiff collar.

It bothered me that the patterns don't fit together at the neck at all well. I felt like something this magnificent should be pattern-matched more harmoniously than it is, with that seam between red and green in such a prominent place at least trying to look more symmetrical. The outer gown looks green here, with a sort of damask needlecord texture. In most shots it looks black.

The outfit returns in Episode 26, by which time we know that the consequences of the transformation have hit. We get a nice view of the structure here. The visible parts are the undershirt or tunic (actually two different ones), a very full pleated skirt, a splendidly gold-patterned wrap-around robe that's very tightly fitted to the waist and emphasised with a belt, and then this spectacular gown that might be green or black, with the giant explosions of gold embroidery. And an asymmetrical gold crown.

It's his most magnficent outfit, far more visually intimidating than the black-and-gold fighting gown he wore in Episode 9, and he wears this repeatedly when he knows his actual power is severely weakened.

The gold edges of the gown seem to be made of thousands of tiny sequins, and they're not just gold, there are hints of green to give it depth - and the gold extends beyond the pattern, like dust.

There are actually two different shirts. The red-and-green one in Episodes 14 and 27, and this black-and-gold one in Episode 26 which is a different colour of the same pattern, with no red-and-green pieces, less tightly fitted to the neck, and pieced differently. You can see almost all of the V shape and the little plant shape in the lower part of the pattern, which you can't in the red-and-green.

I think this is an error, because the next scene is supposed to be a direct continuation of the scene above, but we go back to red-and-green. You have to look hard to notice it though.

The texture of the gold on the gown is amazing. The effect in a shot like this is to make the hands look incredibly delicate and insubstantial.

He wears this outfit, with the red-and-green, for the qin duet with absolute madlad Changheng in Episode 27. And to fidget huffily and keep quiet while XLH dumps Changheng immediately after.

This is the scene where I reflected that if he was going to kill anyone, he'd be wearing the Hunting Dress. So this is what he wears when he wants to intimidate, and would probably prefer deadly violence if it were up to him, but can't or won't actually do anything but glare.

What a wonderful look for going on a date and being horribly, horribly embarrassed about it. Look at the gold on the inside of the sleeves! The sleeves of the outer gown seem to be lined with gold.

And the confession to Xunfeng.

At the end of Episode 28, he wears this to experiment with stubborn self-destruction:

And it stays with us through the whump scene, during which the crown symbolically falls off, and we get a good look at the texture. Like all his crowns and armour, it looks like something that grew on a tree, possibly as a result of insect attack. It's much prettier than the ones the fairy tribe wear. I'd like to know how this was made.

then the triumph:

And the disaster. Where we glimpse how heavily patterned the train is. The pattern makes it look as though it belongs to the robe underneath, but it's hanging straight from the shoulders, and we saw the robe has a belt, so I don't quite understand the structure here.

I call this this Chrysalis gown because it reminds me of the splendid protective costumes that certain butterflies and moths put on while they are tearing themselves apart and remaking themselves into a totally different shape.

Which seems to be the point, so perhaps the rather eye-watering pattern bunfight and the way none of the patterns fit together at the neck, are exactly as they should be.
