#and yanno if people would like outfit breakdowns by pattern

[eorzean-wayfinder]

So as a costumer and general creator of fiber arty stuffs, I have to give it to the team that worked on the new Little Lady's Day outfit because damn. The CAPE LOOKS LIKE ACTUAL VELVET in its un dyed form. Like look at this. You don't get that kind of highlights and lowlights from many fabrics except for a really good (probably silk) velvet. Satin can sometimes, but it rarely has this depth.

Also going into Gpose and getting some really close up shots the TEXTURES like hot damn. You can tell from the textures what each piece is made of.

The cape, def low pile velvet texture. How do I know? I have a whole bin of it up in my sewing room that I just organized. The jacket, nice high quality leather.

Every texture here is on point from the twill weave of the shirt, to the twist braid on the epaulets (shoulder bits for those who aren't familiar), hell even the crystal broach has some insane textures going on. Like apart from the specific metal bits I probably have everything to make this top up in my sewing room right now. So yes, as a costumer who likes to delve into shit like this.

Thank you SE.
