I can't even tell you how many days passed and how many curses were uttered in getting this from a mock-up of this overlay (image one) to a mostly functional bodice (image two).
It is just pleated, right? Well, no, it is also gathered and the combination makes things tricky...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here you can see the pattern on tracing paper pinned to the fabric I'm using as an overlay, I sewed through each line that is marked, removed the paper, and used those lines of stitching as a guide for creasing and pressing the fabric.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The result is...very flat. Even flatter than my chest (impressive) which means it won't sit nicely at all. To form it to the bust the sides have to be gathered, not pleated--but I wanted to keep the definition of the pleats.
So I switched to pleats that were only 1/2" deep, then gathered in-between each one...I also switched fabrics and added some trim to the edge of each box pleat, because without it the detail of the pleats was sort of getting lost in the sheen of the fabric.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Much better! Then the entire edge was gathered down to match the measurement of the lining and the front seam was sewn.
Tumblr media
This shows it in this state, on the dress form, resembling that mockup it all started with. But it is shinier (that is the fabric) and has more character (that is the cursing).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some other stuff happened (lining, straps, etc.) to get it to the stage seen on the right but that is to be explained on another day!

@claudia-augusta replied to your post โ€œOh, right, I meant to post some more pictures of...โ€:
Where can I find a good description/drawing/photo/tutorial of how the historical whipstitched gathers are done?
โ€‹I have a picture of it in my shirt construction blog post (though I'm working on making an updated post about that).
Tumblr media
You just do two rows of running stitches, like normal for gathering, so the stitching line is in between them and they're more even. Then you press the seam allowance under on the non gathered part of the seam, overlap it, and stitch it down with one whipstitch through each gather.
I think Burnley and Trowbridge probably have it in a video on their youtube channel, but I'm not completely sure. I know they have a shirt sew along but I never got around to watching it.

Lost Media Search Results
Since I'm unemployed I've been using my time to find leads to lost media. Today I looked for info on Dweebers and Gathers and I found some very interesting info
So something that I noticed that isn't mentioned anywhere is that Vic Tokai, the company tied to both games, is Japanese and the games they developed were first released in Japan (they had an American branch that translated and localized games other companies developed.)
Now theres a game that was released called Daedalian Opus, which I just learned was also made by Vic Tokai, and was developed at the same time as Gathers. I know this because one of the two screenshots we have of Gathers comes from a 1989 magazine page that also has the original name of Daedalian Opus listed next to it, Puzzle Road.
Tumblr media
This was in vol 1 of Game Boy Magazine. Vol 2 features the second screenshot of Gathers, but I was not able to find the full page to look for other clues. However, I was able to find in the table of contents Puzzle Road listed among other games
Tumblr media
So why am I focusing on Puzzle Road/Daedalian Opus? Its because the American box art resembles the art style of the Dweebers artwork.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And theres a good reason why they would look the same, Vic Tokai hired an artist named Lawrence Fletcher to make a few new covers to replace the Japanese covers for their American releases. The original Japanese release of Puzzle Road looked completely different
Tumblr media
The first main point I want to make is that if Vic Tokai went as far as to make art for an American cover, then there must also be Japanese cover art out there.
The second point I want to make I realized right as I was making this post. The reason why we are struggling to find Gathers is because the name might have been translated incorrectly! The name as it appears in the magazine is
Tumblr media
and when I went to Google translate, I put in
Tumblr media
but I left out the dash in the middle, and when I added it in...
Tumblr media
the games name might actually be Gears! I can't be 100% sure because i don't actually know Japanese, and it would make more sense for it to be Gathers because the point of the game is to gather things, but I still thought I should bring it up.
I think the final connection I want to make will cement the connection between Dweebers and Gathers. You see in the magazine that Puzzle Road and Gathers are listed next to each other. Well, our source for the Dweebers art also had another game listed
Tumblr media
and they were the only two Gameboy games listed in the whole brochure! (this is a Vic Tokai brochure listing games from 1989 to 1990)
So Puzzle Road and Gathers were both announced at the same time as new Gameboy games from Vic Tokai, and Daelanian Opus in 1989 and Dweebers were listed together as the only two Gameboy games made by Vic Tokai in 1989/1990. I think this circumstantial evidence is admissible

Did you see that Magic: the Gathering now has a game state in which you need to prove that there are an infinite number of twin primes to win? I can explain it more if you are interested.
(With reference to this post here.)
By all means, please tell us about the Magic: the Gathering combo which requires proving the twin prime conjecture in order to win.

Let the poor man rest.
#also no he doesn't want to experience life as a normal person. no he wouldn't sacrifice his powers to live again.#he LOVED being powerful. he was very proud of his powers. he was at the top of the world. what he disliked was being so lonely at the top.#which having reunited with Geto now he is not.#and he wanted to keep the next generation safe due to his past regrets and teach a generation of kids to be at the top together.#and he wanted to get rid of the corrupt higher-ups and reform the Jujutsu society.#and he did all of that. Yuta and Yuuji are both alive and safe and the kids are all reunited with each other stronger than ever#and the higher-ups are d**d.#Gojo obviously wouldn't hate to keep living. he clearly didn't expect to lose and die. but as he himself confirmed#he died doing what he loved. he went out the way he wanted. he went out with a bang. he had the best fight of his life and gave it his all.#as he said 'he had fun'. he said it would have been embarrassing if he died of old age or sickness.#and now that he's gone he's happy with his friends and especially Geto. he found peace.#He said it himself 'Now i'm wishing that it's not just a dream'.#also for those of you who say that Geto & Gojo wouldn't be together because one would go to hell and one to heaven... no. just no.#first of all. Gojo did a mass m*r*** before his death#second of all. they're Buddhists. they don't have heaven and hell. don't bring Abrahamic religions into everything.#and you'd be surprised by the excuses the Abrahamic religions find to not let people in heaven.#probably Gojo wouldn't go to heaven even if he didn't kill the higher-ups due to...idk... occasionaly doing pranks or sth.#but Gege apparently created a whole other afterlife of his own. and Toji Geto Gojo Nanami and everyone were all gathered there together.#you SAW that. so stop.#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#gojo satoru#satoru gojo#jjk gojo#gege akutami#my two cents#satosugu
