MCM collab with modern kimono brand Jotaro Saito, with furisode sleeves garments, the whitish one more a blouse, the black one more a crop top sweatshirt.
I don't know what to make of those designs. I think I like the blouse but the sleeves are too long and put off outfit balance imo. Shorter sleeves would rock though!

Japan. Fujiyama. Silence
Our ascent to the top of Fujiyama with Anderii was difficult but interesting. We were tired and Anderii @anderii suggested sitting in the forest in silence, enjoying the singing of birds. We had a good rest and continued our journey. From the top of Fujiyama there was a wonderful view

one thing i'm trying to keep in mind while designing the cast of the resurrectionists is that they're all constantly changing clothes + ideally there will be ppl cosplaying these characters someday and i'd much rather see morana cosplays done in old btssb pieces that technically aren't things she wears than morana cosplays in cheap mass-produced versions of her canon outfits from aliexpress so i'm trying to make them all recognizable by a defining feature or two + fashion (sub)style alone
#like morana wears old school egl. tends towards skirts that hit her mid calf. prefers ruffles over lace. always has on rocking horse shoes.#usually is in some sort of deep red. wears a lot of vivienne westwood pieces. wears a lot of bows. and has a very specific shade of pink#hair w hime-esque bangs and braided twintails. so like. if youve got the hair and 1-2 of those things you're all set for your morana cospla#(also rectangular headdresses. she loves rectangular headdresses)#shi is also one of the good examples. shironuri w bright red lipstick and LONG false eyelashes for makeup. long red and black hair in a#high sidepony (which is at least partially crimped). she wears angura kei w a tendency towards basing her fits around kimono and not school#uniforms (bc she is. a grown ass adult. from the 1600s). she always has something on her head near the base of that ponytail.#her outfits often incorporate flowers or butterflies. she usually has some sort of timepiece on her. she likes printed socks/tights. her#shoes always have some sort of platform. and her main colors are red white and black.#dysmas doesn't wear any color save for white and black. any metal on them is silver. their hair is black and textured and covers one eye.#they always have a crucifix displayed on them prominently somewhere. they wear shironuri w dark makeup around their eyes and st peter's#cross drawn under their visible eye + black lipstick. their outfits are mainly black w white collars. they like moi meme moitie pieces.#they almost always have a crucifix at their hip. for shoes they tend towards a heeled boot. they almost always have on some sort of veil fo#headwear. think of them like a raspberry mazohyst choker come to life.#mara's going to be my last example bc i need to make the rest of them stronger. black twintails w bangs parted in the middle and pink#highlights. either guro lolita or menhera depending on which version of her you're looking at but we're going to focus on regular mara not#distant-future-amnesiac-reaper-mara . so guro lolita. she always has an eyepatch. she has long legs so she uses that age old talllita trick#of letting one's bloomers peak out to cover more leg. she tends towards blouse+skirt+apron coords instead of wearing a jsk or op.#white bright red and bright pink are her colors. usually wears gloves or wrist cuffs. likes printed tights/socks. likes border prints.#romeo.txt

Satin Collection Kimono – Satin Beige Passion

Meiji period fashion was some of the best in the world, speaking purely from an aesthetic standpoint you can really see the collision of European and Japanese standards of beauty and how their broad agreement even in particulars (the similarity between Japanese and Gibson girl bouffants, the obi vs the corset, the obi knot vs the bustle, the mutual covetousness for exotic textiles, the feverish swapping of both art styles and subjects) combined and produced some of the most interesting cultural exchange we have this level of documentation for. Europeans were wearing kimono or adapting them into tea gowns, japanese were pairing lacy Edwardian blouses with skirt hakama and little button up boots. haori jackets with bowler hats and European style lapels. if steampunk was any good as an aesthetic it would steal wholesale from the copious records we have in both graphic arts and photography of how people were dressing in this milieu.

Next up from Ruthless! the musical is my #costume design for Judy Denmark, homemaker and mother, who succumbs to the siren song of fame and fortune.
Act 1, set in the late 50s, consists of a cotton #skirt made from a tropical flamingo print that matches the upholstery of the stage set; cotton #apron dyed lemon yellow to match the walls; and a hand-dyed teal #blouse with the same cotton print for the shawl collar.
Act 2, set in the mid 60s, is a #dress made from a gold lamĂŠ base with a beaded silk chiffon overlay. The hem has a wide border of gold paillettes interspersed with rows of gold beaded fringe. The dress is first worn under a #kimonorobe of gold silk charmeuse with gold lamĂŠ lining and cotton brocade border, which is removed onstage.
Ruthless! is showing at New Conservatory Theatre Center until January 7.

your blog gives me life! ignore this if you want but i want to ask if you have any suggestions when it comes to what blouse should i pair with my blue mid-skirt. this skirt gives the same vibe as your blog and i've been searching everywhere for a pairing but all i get is a white tank top which can be lackluster (for me at least!) thank you and keep glowing! <333
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you for your kind words! I would personally style it with lace/crochet tops or blouses, mesh tops with a fun print, or something velvet! You can wear a basic white crop top and throw a lacy or velvet poncho/kimono on top to spice it up a bit. Jewelry and accessories like stacking necklaces when wearing a top with a v neck would look beautiful as well! Hope this was somewhat useful, have a beautiful day ☀️

New sewing pattern in my Etsy shop: 1/4 size version of the Swallowtail Kimono!
Digital download includes illustrated English language instructions and full-size printable patterns.
I made this sewing pattern to specifically fit the ImomoDoll 1/4 "Mimi" body (both bust sizes), but it can also fit Mini Dollfie Dream and similar sized resin BJDs.
This one's a bit tricky to sew, so I recommend it for experienced sewists (beginners may find it too difficult)!
Items to make:
Large Bust Blouse (~7.5"/19cm bust circumference)
Small Bust Blouse (~6.75"/17cm bust circumference)
Petal miniskirt (Skirt A)
Gathered skirt (Skirt B)
Tailed belt
Obi

"You look like a doll....a cute one too"
Mitsuya x slavicfemreader
Author's note:
I tried to make this as basic traditional clothes as I can but as we Slavic people all have unique clothings (in my counrry we have millions of different traditional clothing) I tried to make it as general as I could.
Sorry for any spelling mistakes too, I just got back into writing fanfic so this one probably won't be that good.
About:
It's cultural day in school and everyone is told to wear their traditional clothes. You're from a Slavic country.
-----------------------------------
It was cultural day in your school. The principal decided that everyone should wear traditional clothes, including the exchange students too.
You nervously walked into the classroom, not knowing how people will react to your traditional clothes.
They were beautiful. You had emrbrodery on the edge of the skirt and on the apron, your white blouse was decorated with many elements. Around your neck were golden neclackes, clapping to your chest with every step you took. Your hair was braided in a bun and little red ribbon falling from it onto your back. You looked like a doll, an expenisive one too.
As you entered the classroom you felt others watch you closely. Some were wispering with their friends while looking at you, other watching in wonder. Soon you were attacked with lots of questions.
You tried to get to your seat. The clothes being quite heavy and made of wool. You finally sat down when everyone was satisfied with their answers. Someone tapped you on the shoulder and you turned around.
"You look like a princess", Mitsuya's voice rang your ears. You felt yourself blushing.
"Thank you", you looked at his kimono that fit him perfectly, "you look handsome".
He smiled. A big smile resevred only for you.
"Thanks!"
You were about to turn around when je started questioning you.
"Are those embrodery handmade?"
You nodded.
"Can I see it up close?"
You blushed.
"Um...sure"
He kneeled in front of you and took the edge of your skirt, "this is from a Slavic country right?"
You nodded.
"Cool"
He got up.
"You look like a doll....a cute one too"

Every little girl dreams.. 
Summary: No one dreams of this type of wedding, let alone wants one like it, and yet that’s the only one you’re getting. Or when you and Chuuya make the decision to stick to your original plan, even if it's the opposite from perfect. 
Pairing:  fem!Reader x Chuuya
Inspired by Sweetober prompt 9: Deep kissing
Warnings: Cursing and light angst
My attempt to crawl out of the writers block I'm sitting in.
Enjoy~
____
Every little girl dreams about their future wedding. A grand thing with dozens upon dozens of guests gathered to celebrate the union between two souls.The westerstyle church filled to the brim. A priest at the altar and the future husband waiting patiently for his soon-to-be wife. In this grand western style church, the pipe organ begins playing the all-too familiar wedding march.The flutter of flowers and the rustling of the white wedding dress as you walk down the aisle, past rows upon rows of gleeful faces of friends and family all wishing you the best, all envying you as you slowly stroll towards your happily ever after. 
Or perhaps you'd envision a traditional wedding at the shrine dressed in layers of silk and fancy kimono swearing your oath more privately, reserved for the gods ears to hear. The celebration would come right after, where your friends and family would cheer for you as you and your beloved feed each other your first bites of cake. You could even settle for a small wedding: a private event reserved for just a handful of guests. Somewhere in exotic or exquisite flower gardens on bright green grass under the open skies. The grand dress, replaced with something simpler; like a suit or even a formal attire. 
Yes, there were many things you wanted for your dream wedding. And there were many things you were willing to compromise on for the sake of tying the knot with that special someone. Yet this– this was not something that was a part of anyone's wedding plans. A gloomy bitter seemingly unplanned union that was your reality. 
You glanced at yourself in the mirror. Your original attire was stained in blood and you were forced to improvise with what you had on hand:your workwear. A dark blue lace blouse with puffy sleeves and white pearl buttons, black skin-tight silky pants and high heels to match. You put your hair up in a bun and decorated it with matching white and blue pearls pins. You made sure to undo the top button in a feeble attempt to look less work-like and chose to forgo your usual black mafia coat. You spend a few moments wiping away the dirt from your heels and removing your chipped nail polish. As if fooling yourself into feeling pretty. you applied a small dot of the perfume sample you found in your pouch on your wrists and behind your ears. The scent was unfamiliar but not awful.  You chose to keep your weapons on you however, for a ‘just in case’ scenario. 
Then you strolled out of the cabinet-like room you borrowed. 
The small wooden church on the outskirts of Yokohama was, like you, in an equally unimpressive state. Most of the wood around the church had rotten long ago; the benches in the mass halls on either side of the isle were broken, scorched or damaged. A few paces away was a gaping hole in the ceiling. Off to the side stood the pipe orgel ready to produce music but with no musician in sight. The altar was the only piece of the church that did not suffer any damage. If anything it looked cleaned and well-polished as if the priest had taken his time to clean this spot up while the two of you got ready.
The door to the right of the altar opened and two men stepped out: the priest and Chuuya. 
Chuuya was dressed in his usual work attire which had taken a bit of beating during the previous fight: the clothes were not first freshnes with the exception of a clean white blouse underneath the gray vest. Even his black coat was ruffled; damaged from hundreds of bullets and weapons that had been sent flying towards him. Not injured but not completely unscratched either. The most pristine thing about him were his shoes: newly polished and sophisticated- a glimpse of the Chuuya you’ve always known. 
Without a word he took a few steps away from the priest and towards the nearest bench. He tosses his coat onto it, then his guns and weapons. 
“ Sweetheart I think we can survive without weapons for five minutes” Chuuya tried to lighten the mood with a joke as he beckoned you over. You followed his example of disarming yourself. Then you took his hand in yours and stepping up to the altar before the priest. 
Chuuya didn’t bother lying that you looked stunning, beautiful or breathtaking on your wedding day and you didn’t bother lying to say he looked as handsome as always. You were thankful for this little bit of truth. You did take a moment to wipe away a drop of dried blood from the back of his neck before turning back to face the man with the bible. Chuuya squeezed your hand in reassurance and gratitude, and you did the same. 
The priest ran his eyes from you, to Chuuya, and then lingered on your interlocked hands. He chose not to say anything about it.“ Are you two sure you would like to proceed with this marriage union right now and not wait until after the war?” 
You looked at Chuuya, expecting him to scream ‘are you a fucking idiot?' 'abort' or ‘too low-quality’ instead he turned to you with a serious look on his eyes and a laidback playful smirk just itching to split his expression into something more familiar, loving and playful. A controlled chaos- a fire burning for you. You replied with a small smile and a squeeze of his hand. You could see Chuuya resisting the urge to drive his free hand into his pocket in a typical delinquent style- an attempt to hide his nervousness. Although it would not have mattered if he did that : with no guests or witnesses. There was no one but the priest to judge you two. 
When the priest didn’t start, Chuuya finally broke the silence:“ if we’re going to be on the frontlines with no guarantees, then I’d much rather get formalities out of the way so we can stand together as husband and wife” 
You gave his hand another squeeze in agreement before you spoke “ Father, we waited a long time to get married. It doesn’t have to be perfect or expensive, as long as we come out of here united in the eyes of the government, emperor and god.”     
“ Have you prepared your wedding vows?” the priest asked with a small frown of disapproval. 
“Ehh we’ll just do the traditional ones, right doll?” Chuuya looked the slightest bit flustered. As if he had completely forgotten that there was more to the ordeal than just showing up in front of the priest. 
You could feel your heart drop in your stomach, anxiety spiking. Was this really all for nothing? The time you spend getting here all wasted over a forgotten piece of paper? You clutched Chuuya’s hand tighter in your own, while you silently prayed that the priest would still find it in his heart to help you two get married. 
Your prayers were answered. 
The priest opened the bible and stretched out pieces of paper towards you and Chuuya. Once copy each. “ I had that suspicion and brought copies with me. Alter them how you see fit so they feel more natural. The vows should come from the heart” The priest stood patiently as both of you read the vows through and altered them with a borrowed pen. Then he started the ceremony. 
You both stood patiently and attentively listened to the priest: out of the corner of your eyes you could see Chuuya. He was trying his best to contain his emotion, the edges of his lips just itching to spread into a wide grin or nervous laughter. Who would have thought the deadliest and fanciest mafia executive would be getting married, with no friends or family, in such a dumpy church. Indeed the thought made you want to both laugh and cry all at once. Ohh the irony of life.
At the priest's motion you turned to face Chuuya as he spoke his promises of eternal love; in sickness and in health, through sorrows and laughs. Through poverty and bad decisions as well as blessings and good times: “And I promise to love you till death do us part, my Sweetheart” 
You turned to face Chuuya as he took your hand in his hand and held it tightly. He then raised your hand and placed a golden band, adored with precious gems and intricate weaving of the metal on your finger.  
You gripped his hand tighter, your heart soaring as you recited your vows. As you spoke of your promise to love him no matter the hardships, through sickness and health, through faithfulness and betrayal, through lies and truths. “ and until death do us part, my love”
You did the same for Chuuya, raising his hand, you tugged the glove off. You felt him tense ever so slightly and you squeezed his hand again, reassuringly before slipping the thick golden band on his bare finger. “ Just once, for a few moments, let it sit on your bare skin please” And he squeezed your hand in turn agreeing and accepting. 
The priest held his breath before his face broke up into a smile: “ It is my pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife.” His eyes ran from your bright smile with tears threatening to spill from your eyes to Chuuya’s expression which matched your own. Incredibly happy, and unbelievably sad. When neither of you moved the priest urged you to, giving you his permission and blessings: “You may now kiss the bride” 
The kiss that you shared was deeper and more passionate than what was appropriate in a church. But the priest merely averted his eyes to give you some privacy. After all this kiss signified both a joyful Hello to a new beginning and a mournful goodbye..
