Formal Harrowhark for a local ball! This was such a fun night! Should I post more pictures?

Revisiting one of my favorites

[captainx-camino]

I'm taking Viktor to the Ball at a convention we're attending in January and, naturally, I needed a Ball outfit for that, so...

It's almost done! I'm gonna be putting the hammer symbol that Jayce has on his white coat on the back of this one and a few random cogs on the exposed breast of the coat before it's all said and done but WOO! Nearly there.

Which means, it's time for an outfit breakdown! (And a mental one. I only have a few more days until I have to pack and I still have to finish a different Jayce outfit.)

But, anyway!

I wanted to go with a princely look and I honestly think I just about nailed it.

-The coat and vest were purchased as to save myself time, since I decided to do this very last minute. I did take up the sleeves and fix the fit though so... *Shrugs* The corset vest is part of my outfit for my wedding next year to my own, actual lovely partner (who is also my Viktor). So, I already had that. Yippee.

-The shirt was just one I had in my closet that I had to take in since I've lost weight. So, already had and more fitting there.

-I did add the epaulettes to the coat, which I made by hand out of craft foam, fancy trim, and ribbon. (I layered a red ribbon over the gold trim for an extra pop of color).

-The tie was made by above mentioned partner, who made us matching ones for both our outfits. I made the little gear tie pin though out of an adjustable ring base and a couple random jewelry gears from a multi pack we have (that will also be used to decorate the breast).

-The capelette is based off The Blanket™️ and has red lining, just like said blanket does. I sewed in curtain ropes and decorative closures for some added pizzazz both where it's sewn into the capelette and where it clips around the body. The capelette also has a shoulder seam, as well as a lapel. Which was a pain in the ass. I do not recommend having to do either lmao

-The pants were also purchased, and have a double closer on the front in a very steampunk way (I wasn't about to attempt to make that in a crunch I'm already struggling lol) I will also probably be folding them so they're cuffed at the bottom, but we'll see how that works out in my final fitting.

-The shoes were thrifted and were all black when I got them. I used leather paint to paint them with the red panels, added gold trim, painted the outside of the soles gold, and there is a little hex crystal shape on the bottom of the soles that I painted blue. I also switched out black laces for maroon because they fit better with the look.

-The gloves are the same gloves I got for Jayce's black outfit and are getting a little clip added later, but otherwise nothing fancy or crazy has been done with those.

-And finally, the wristband is from Willow Creative and literally my favorite thing I have ever bought ever. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a good Jayce bracelet! Absolutely gorgeous.

For those curious, this is what's being cut out and added to the back of the coat (sorry it's a bad drawing I just needed to see what it would all look like together)

I have a couple different gold fabrics for the main body of the hammer and some nice brown filigreed damask for the brown. (White boarder will probably just be foam so it's easier to attach to the back.)

That will be added as soon as I have it completed, hopefully later today.

But yey! Jayce Talis Ball outfit!

I am so looking forward to dancing with my Viktor.

IT’S DONE!!!!!

Finally finished the Archivist cardigan, ton of shit happened that delayed the making of it (I’ll talk about it when I’m ready) but it’s finally done!!!!

Piccies!!! (+Lotte/Op reveal ig)

One of the minor details that no one's really going to notice but do give it away as a TMA cardigan are the pockets. I used some eye-conography in them and gave them a raised relief

It's not entirely visible but it is tactile

Also bonus pic of me using Arthur Lester as a pin cushion (because that's all he is atp)

Aragorn and Arwen taking a walk through Minas Tirith (she's venting about how maglor disappeared again right before el&el were going to drag him to valinor)

(Aragorn has a very good fashion sense, if he was a Noldorin ambassador living in Numenor during the Late Elros Era. Arwen is also very stylish for early Doriathrim royalty. The rest of Gondor got used to it eventually.)

Second thing I wanted to share was my Halloween costume!!

I’ve got process pictures I might share at a later date, but I’m so happy with it!!! I planned this with a friend in June, and I put in a lot of hours and late night in October to make it happen.

We didn’t go trick or treating, but we did fuck around at a mall and handed out showfall business cards he made the night before.

He also got a picture of me in the portrait pose he’s being sneaky about, I’ll have to share when he finally tells me what that’s about.

Over all a great spooky season for me, I’ve also got some pictures relating to a certain video game movie I’m waiting to share until after the strike is over.

I do love after the announcement dropped, just watching each of my friends drop into the group chat like “WE HAVE A YEAR TO PLAN OUR TRIP TO NEW YORK” we were all on the same page about this lmao

More random takes but my biggest problem with ouji fashion is 1. A lot of it isn't nearly as good quality as old school lolita pieces and often has a very cosplay feel to it, 2. For a masc equivalent fashion, it isn't actually very friendly to masc bodies. And by that I'm not just talking about fit, as a decent amount of stuff is made in male sizing (at least given how few brands make ouji to begin with). Given that lolita fashion fits such a classically fem silhouette, I'd love something that works more with classical masc styling. Sure, the full shorts might work from a historical point if you go far back enough, but that hardly translates to the stylistic feel of the pieces, which does skew more towards late 18th and early 19th century imo, if not early 20th century schoolboy. Give me emphasis on shoulders. Give me fitted bottoms and high waists. Give me cape coats and Eton collars and emphasis on the neckline to contrast where lolita emphasizes the skirt! Give me a cut that goes for dramatic and frilly masculinity, not something that takes lolita principles and just says "what if there was a seam at your crotch"

things people have said to me (a lawyer):

me, at the dentist, my dentist says "you are the nicest lawyer I have ever met" (???)

me, at work, talking to a person who just started, they say "you're the legal counsel?!! You don't give those vibes, you're so friendly."

me, wearing a blazer jacket my friend is trying to offload to me, she says "you look like a lawyer" (as opposed to??? LMAO not me in my hoodie on days at home and a blanket ur honour pLeASe)

this is the meaning of "全靠同行衬托" y'all 👏 or is my 反差 just 比较大 or bit of column (a) bit of column (b) ,,, 天 (bushi idek what is happening here

I keep getting this ad on FB from a scammy dropshipper and man the algo is getting EXTREMELY good because every time I see it I can't help but see Wolf wearing this with a more formal suit/dress uniform, it's so on point
