WIP Wed (Update)

Leaves in top & left are from last week, so made another 6 in progress over the course of the week. Also got my bonus yarn I'm planning to use for the waistband (and maybe bonus leaves if we need, we'll see...) Plan for the waistband is hopefully the 247 leaf edge motif from the Japanese Stitch Bible (check your library, they may have it available as a PDF or to check out). This'll be a bit of a stretch in my skill, but I love those tests...

Starting to get into my autumn reds which is fun.

Might try to work out my pencil pouch today. I've been struggling with migraines for 2 weeks so it's been hard to dive into a more complicated project lately...

WIP Wednesday

Noticed I missed last week's WIP Wed, but to be fair there wasn't a ton of progress happening...

Been feeling a little funky lately so I've been sticking with smaller and easier to repeat projects.

Got some more "scrappy" leaves done using some of my dye experiments. Second image is of a balled-gradient yarn, which goes to prove it wasn't my favorite method considering how drastically the color falls off from each other, haha. I was struggling with the two leaf combo that they were using and decided I'd rather deal with extra seaming than try to convince myself I was doing it correctly... It also (feels like it) goes faster than casting onto the edge...

Pattern: Leaf Motif Skirt by Kathy Merrick and Selma Kaplan | Project Page: Leaf Motif Skirt

I did find a band pattern that I'm excited to try out, it's from the Japanese stitch bible and results in a horizontal leaf hem/edge. Some of the yarn I ordered from the KnitPicks sale is what I'm planning to use for that edging so I can't practice just yet, (but maybe I can with some scraps laying around...) I'm honestly not worrying about it until I get more leaves churned out and I feel a bit better...

I also 3D-printed a zipper for the mosaic pencil pouch, so I technically have all the materials ready to put it together, just need to figure out how to combine them all in a way that it's functional, haha. I'm debating whether the fabric insert is necessary or too restrictive, so kinda feeling stuck while I work that out...

Niffty Redesign🐛

Made my own take on Niffty for Fun!!!!!!!!💖 I def thought a lot on what to try with her!!!!

Pushed for a more 50’s Housewife aesthetic/hotel maid vibe. She’s wearing a pinafore apron which was very popular during that era and I took the poodle skirt idea and reworked it into the apron, but rather than a poodle it’s a bug 🐛. Also brought back warmer colors like the pilot look had. Pastel yellow was def a pop color!

Also added a name tag as to show she works for the hotel 🏨

Added more splotches and made them bigger on her apron. Polkadots were popular in that time and I think are cute(lot of her concepts had polka dots on her) plus I can see her wanting people to assume she’s a ladybug or Asian Lady Beetle 🐞 (@peeperscreeperz made a take of Niffty being that which is AMAZING and I considered making her that too but I ended up going a different route). I can see her also wanting them to give off flowers…only for most people to see them as blood stains.🌸🩸

Also gave her those iconic cleaning gloves 🧤. Shes the Hotels maid AND cook afterall 🧽 👩‍🍳

Gave her a bandana bow for the housewife and maid look and because I think it’s cute and lowkey gives off antennae. I LOVE the idea of her being a bug demon so I went with that. I was going for a subtle ambiguity of what she’s suppose to be(she’s hiding what she is).

Gave her warmer eye color back! Also made the pupil more leaf shaped 🍃.

Added gradient for her limbs.

Added extra limbs. Great for extra cleaning 🧹 🧼

Her hairs actually antennae…and extra legs 🦵

Gave her three fingers.

Made her eye bigger(bugs often got big eyes! Or for her case eye 👁️)

Added a lil bug instead of a poodle for her apron!🪳

For her color motif, went back to warmer colors and because for mine I’m going with a rainbow motif she’s Yellow💛🌈 the color known for its positives such as joy and friendship…but can also mean negative things such as Deceit, illness and often used as a warning color⚠️ it was also a popular color for Sci-Fi posters(she was based on B-Alien Movies)

Made her skin a kinda warm pastel orange🧡 I missed her having a warm palette but I also get why they changed it due to her roots 🇯🇵. So I went with orange!!!! Her hairs also a more brownish red-orange.

For her bug theme,

I went with something that I figure would connect her both to her ability to take down pests so well and Japanese origins. The Japanese Centipede! Centipedes are great for pest control but apparently to Japan they’re considered symbols of evil and rottenness, plus with how they look they often scare people even those they don’t pose serious threats to humans, which I think fits Niffty’s whole desire to be loved only to accidentally scare people away…shunned & unloved by a world she can’t seem to fit in💔

HUGE Spoiler alert!!!! Hazbin Hotel

With the reveal of Husk being once an Overlord I like to believe the same with Niffty but rather than souls(talked about this with @a-sterling-rose, she was an immensely powerful sinner like Alastor, but alas her form was far too big and scary for people to want to get close to and she was alone…until Alastor offered her a deal he’d provide a more approachable form in return for her eternal service)

A lot of her looks meant to be hiding what she is. Disguising her extra limbs as hair, her body’s color scheme based on a centipedes, poofy dress that could cover extra, even the bug design could be Interpreted as a long centipede. I was also going for a subtle sharp, mini legs for her apron ruffles, giving off her trying to look sweet and soft but could also be interpreted in another way…

I read and learned from a @lovesart23 redesign vid for her that, she was meant to be based on B-Alien Movies. LOVE that and I tried it myself(hardest part was figuring out what bug to make her and what themes to go with) but I ended up going for another Sci-Fi route. Kaiju/Giant Bug monsters. Creatures like Godzilla or those giant bugs creatures like “the Tingler” 1959(which was a centipede monster I read). I figure it’d connect well to both her struggles of fitting in but also her Japanese Roots.

Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them."

— Ishir⁠ō Honda The Director of Godzilla

Plus some certain Kaijus could qualify as Aliens!.

There’s even a Yokai/demon based on the centipede know as the Ōkumade!

As the fandom’s resident fashion historian, do you have any thoughts about wedding dresses/apparel in Planetos? Personally, I weddings are a great place to showcase the differences between the regions especially with traditions, superstitions, economy, and skills. For example, IRL there is a superstition, if a bride makes her dress, each stitch a bride makes is the equivalent to the tears she will shed during the marriage but I can’t see that translating to Westeros where the small folk or even every member of house Frey or house Reed aren’t getting a custom dress. Maybe it’s traditional to wear colorful dresses in Dorne and heavy jewelry made by talented blacksmiths in Westerlands and trading cities use dresses with pearls (because in Meereen pearls=fertility) and myrrish lace to flaunt wealth but the North cause practically and reusability over fashion and maybe they pass down dresses, the Reach probably produces cotton so I imagine they would have more stylish and intricate designs, Qohor might have headwear with religious figures hanging from the fringe... I’ve thought about it a bit but I’d love to know your thoughts! 💚💛🖤💚💛

This will also include the other wedding asks I got and will probably be a two parter since there’s a lot to cover!

Wedding fashions part 1!

I’ve mentioned it before, but I like the idea of a Dornish bride “wearing” her dowry. Usually this consists of a veil made out of coins, or stitched into her gown, or placed into her headpiece. The fabric of the gown itself is also the finest the family can afford, and is expected to be sold if necessary (though noble families don’t usually do that). This practice isn’t only a tradition to show the groom’s family that he is not being swindled out of the agreed upon bride price, but is also a way for the family of the bride to show off their wealth. If a girl is especially wealthy, she may not even be able to wear the entire dowry, so her maids, ladies in waiting, animals, and every other thing she is bringing with her is decorated in wealth as well and presented to the groom

Stormlands women tend to be both proud and practical, so their dresses are made from the best materials they can afford, but practically cut and layered for the constant rainy weather. They’re also sacklike and large with very few adjustments so that the fabric can be repurposed later on. Most new gowns look like this anyway for the same reason, and wedding gowns are usually new. A woman’s dress will usually be in her family colors, and be patterned with their symbols as well, or maybe quartered with the grooms symbols and colors. If it’s not repurposed for other things, a gown might be reworn many times for social events, and even refashioned into a more stylish silhouette.

In the Riverlands, there’s no one type of wedding gown, as it’s so large and many of the brides will just wear one of their nicer gowns they already own, but the typical long flowing sleeves and loose overdress are common. Flower, vine, leaf, and other nature motifs are incredibly popular due to their connection to the fertility of the riverlands. So many girls will take a dress with a pattern, or embroider flowers onto it, or maybe pin real flowers onto their gowns, if they cannot afford to embroider or have a patterned gown. There’s a superstition that a bride with not enough flowers will not have any children, only have sickly/weak children. So the small folk especially incorporate as many flowers they can into their weddings

The Reach women’s favorite wedding tradition is seeing who can have the most expensive dress of the season. They’re even more ostentatious than their regular fashion, if that’s even possible. The puffed and slashed sleeves are made from the finest tulle and softest silk. Bodices trimmed in Myrish lace, patterned skirts that took months to make. Gold jewelry and hairpieces imported from the westerlands. Heavy wedding cloaks that are more pearls and thick embroidery than actual fabric. The cost of the yards of fabric used to make the gown is enough to make a Pentoshi merchant swoon. Essentially reach wedding gowns are just upping the ante of their regular dresses.

The wedding gowns of the westerlands are a bit less openly ostentatious than those of the reach, if only because someone doesn’t want to embarrass themselves in front of Tywin or Tywin-adjacent lords, who think to be too showy is a sign that you’re trying too hard. However the overdresses are still made of detailed brocade, necklines are decorated with pearls, and the lower sleeves are still big enough to drag. They still clearly rival the reach, but are also clearly having far less fun with their clothes. It might be a tradition for a woman to start wearing a type of hood on her wedding day, as a way to honor the mother and start promoting herself as lady of a noble house instead of an unwed girl

OK SO CAN WE TALK ABOUT CHARLIE'S WEAPONS AND HER FINAL BATTLE DESIGN

ik i already made a whole post abt everyone's final battle designs (if you want to see it check under my hazbinposting tag, its literally just me gushing), BUT I wanted to make a new one for Charlie because UGH

OK. So her costume stays fairly the same throughout the battle, the cute little dress with the heart on the front, which is so real of her. I mentioned this in the other post also but I thought it was really cute how Charlie usually wears pants, and Vaggie usually wears a skirt, but it switches for the battle. Idk if that has any like. Metaphorical meaning but i think it's cute.

For the weapons, we start out the battle and we see Charlie with her shield. Which yes is a very Charlie thing to have: she's a very protective character, all she wants to do is keep her people safe.

But if you LOOK AT THE shield. GOD, look at the shield. First of all, it's so pretty. Everything in this show is so aesthetically pleasing guys. BUT. There are literally FOUR visual motifs on this shield, plus colors (which are mostly just the normal color palette, but also relate to her and her father). SHIELD MOTIFS. It has (1), the wings. She's angelic & she's powerful (since Angels are kind of a symbol of power and heirarchy.) She has angelic blood from her dad, it doesn't seem like she has actual wings, but she definitely does hav the power that is associated with those wings. The wings also might be a nod to Vaggie's wings.

The shield also (2), looks like an apple. It has the little leaf in the back, and the core in the middle. Lucifer DEFINITELY also has a lot of apple imagery, so that's something she gets from her dad, to, another nod to where her power comes from. We also have (3), the snake. This might be a bit of a stretch but I'm pretty sure that part around the core of the apple that goes down into a point is a snake, which is also associated with Lucifer. Most of the motifs on the shield are a nod to her dad, to her power and where she gets it from. Also beyond physical power, she gets emotional power from her dad. She looks up to him, idolizes him, and she gets confidence from her connection with him.

The fourth and probably-not-final thing that the sheild has is its shape. This was honestly the fist thing I noticed about the shield, and you can really see it well in the above image: the shield is in the shape of a heart. As a Stranger Things fan, of course I am partial to heart shields. Just like Mike, Charlie is the heart of her party. She's the strength, she's where the love and the joy and the connection comes from. Sir Pentious, for example, only gets heart motifs in his design once he gets his heaven redesign, but Charlie has heart motifs in her design from the minute she steps on the battlefield. Look at her dress. That heart, that love, is a part of her. Love is so intrinsic to her personality and to her character that she can defy hell which honestly. She's so real for that (Also can we talk about how she looks at Vaggie in these pictures. I would die for her.)

So Charlie's heart/wings/apple/snake shield is not only a show of power because of her connection with Lucifer (with snake and apple) and her angelic blood (with the wings), but it's also an expression of her personality (with the heart and the fact that it is a shield in the first place). Her character development kind of comes to a peak here: she's learned to be confident in herself while still being that kind, loving, wonderful, dreamy Charlie, and the shield emphasizes that so well.

BUT WAIT. This isn't just a Charlie's-shield-appreciation-post (although it could be.) She literally gets THREE outfits in one episode (standard, the one with the shield, and the post-magical-girl-transformation one)

After Pentious dies and she tranforms, her appearance and her weapon change. Her physical changes are her horns, the inverted, glowing eyes, the tail (with the little heart on it!!), and her hair coming untied (so magical girl of her, but also look at the shape language! She becomes angrier more violent, and instead of that typical, soft, round bubble ponytail, her let-down hair is full of angles, especially in the picture below). We've seen her demon form a couple of times previously in the series I believe, and it happens when she experiences severe emotion and/or wants to show her power, both of which are happening right now (Honestly I love how it shows how much she loves Pentious. She's so sweet and I love her. He means so much to her.) HOWEVER, her physical appareance isn't the only thing that changes after her magical girl transformation. She also has (surprise, surprise), a new weapon!!!!

The trident doesn't have as many strong motifs in it as the shield did, but it's still fuckin. Crazy. So first and second of all we have the apple and the snake, which repeat from the shield, and still represent Charlie's power that she gets from her dad. The third thing about the trident is color scheme: The shield was red, gold, and white, will the trident introduces another color to the mix: black. I dunno what to say about this, but it's interesting to note. Something something her emotions get darker? There's probably a way to read into it but idk. lmk if anyone has thoughts on it.

Although there is the addition of the heart on Charlie's tail, this stage of her design also loses the heart on her weapon. Similar to the addition of black, this probably represents the darker turn in her design and emotion, and the darker turn in the battle. She's not completely out for love (haha see what I did there) anymore, she's also out for revenge (as an extension of love, but what she's really feeling and fighting from right now is anger, as opposed to the joy/hope/love from the start of the battle).

Anyway, the fifth and final thing about the trident is that it's no longer a defense weapon, like the shield was, it's now an attack weapon (also a very similar on to Vaggie's, which could be another nod to her). We also notice this in her demeanor! As opposed to the repeated sorries from before her tranformation, Charlie is now unapologetically violent. She charges right into the battle with Adam. She's no longer just trying to defend to protect (shield) her people, now she's going with the whole best-defense-is-a-good-offense ideology. She's on the offense in order to protect her people.

That's why I enjoy Charlie's character design and weapons in this episode so much. There are so many layers to it and UGH. THANK YOU for listening to me ramble, and lmk if you have any more thoughts on this because I would LOVE to hear them! As you can see I am totally normal about this show.

rosy maple moth c:

[image description: digital drawing rendering in a semi realistic style of a fair skinned, fat, tattooed fancy shawl dancer. She has blonde hair with brown roots, and her tattoos are of a sleeping lion under her right arm, and a red octopus on the other. The dancer looks down with their right arm folded up over their head, holding a shawl behind her back, while her left arm rests lazily just over her abdomen. her regalia is pink, magenta, and yellow colored. Her skirt is pink satin with a golden ivy motif pattern, with ribbons of dark purple, dark orange, magenta, and yellow sewed at the sides in a triangular shape pointing upwards. a geometric design of triangles resembling the moth sits in the ceneter, with red maple leaf patterns in the yellow fabric, and a pink rose at the center diamond of the design. She wears plain, light tanned hide moccains, and a magenta vest with similar designs as the skirt. The shawl is hidden behind her back but has dark purple fringes and the shawl is colored yellow and pink. end description.]

Robert Wun "Time" FW24 Couture

view collection here.

this review is being converted from a short form instagram story segment on my close friends. i’ll be adding more of my opinions tho ;)

the collections description: (this was taken from this vogue article) Robert Wun celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his label with a couture show called Time today. He said he wanted to reflect on “why I’ve been doing this for so long, why I still want to keep doing it, and for how long.” He used these questions as a starting point for a collection of one-of-a-kind extravagant showstoppers. “I asked myself why I do fashion, and what does time mean?“ Did he find an answer? “Yes, I did. The answer is to accept that one day everything ends—and that’s okay.”

my overall rating: 9.7/10

i watched this show months ago at this point and honestly the mere thought of it brings tears to my eyes. this show is gorgeous. the pieces are beautiful. like beautiful isn’t a strong enough word. i truly envy the people who were privileged enough to see this in person for the first time. you can watch the show here! i deffo recommend it. it’s actually sickening. the textures, the colors, the concepts, the weathering that comes with time. its all done sooo well. this is what i want in fashion. especially when it seems like everything has already been said and done, robert has a beautiful perspective.

(click keep reading for all images i included!)

♱ ───────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────────── ♱

loved!!

im not even exaggerating. fireeee (its ice -keyboard spam-). i love the texture of this orange-red dress, the way the gold parts catch the light. the leaf motif is sooo perfect. cherry blossoms!! i actually really like the construction of this particular dress. the sheer pink. its almost symbolic! (it deffo is).

category: cunt. i love the veil/shawl/cape situation on the white look. not the hugest fan of the draped skirt but, it works here and i like the black silhouette at the top. i love velvet. i have nothing more to say. this colorful number. god the back of this is actually giving me peacock vibes. i love the gradient of the shoes/tights. very pretty.

show stopper. this is probably one of my favorite looks to ever walk a show. its so gracefully. like the physical manifestation of a deity, of the universe. it's sooo graceful. beautiful.

not my favorites (being very nitpicky)

i do enjoy green screen queen. ms. shigo. mother earth if you will. this section is just a wee bit boring. still very elegantly made. i'm pretty sure i understand the concepts. i just think they could've been a bit more hard hitting, the skeletal look especially. compared to prior looks, i'm not as wowed.

again, not too wowed. very basic pieces. nothing screaming couture here.

♱ ───────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────────── ♱

moving into my thoughts while watching:

transcript of my story: “i absolutely hate to be that person [shakes head no] i’m gagged. first of all his mind. the creative director (rbert wun) whoever’s creating these designs, this is gorgeous. these dresses are gorgeous. gorgeous. why do i not see more of him on the red carpet? this is what we need.

even if i was exaggerating, who’s going to stop me!? like this is handmade {just based on my knowledge of how beading works, i could be wrong}. this beading, a machine couldn’t do that. i think that’s really what’s getting me, probably thousands of hours probably went into making this and its so beautiful, you can tell that someone really loves their craft. this is gorgeous. the pictures are not doing it justice. y’all need to go watch this for yourselves. beautiful."

venue: 2.6/5 the venue is pretty basic, though i did like that they used projectors/screens to emulate/display snow, fire, butterflies. that was a nice touch that really immersed me in the video. though i'm not too sure how it was in real life.

casting: 5/10 i think some models were better than others. but there was not a jarring difference in walks or anything.

WIP Wednesday

Got 2 semi active projects this week...

My "mosaic pencil pouch," hoping to put in this liner as well to help stabilize / reduce the stretch of the knit fabric. (This has been a problem I've encountered in the past and I'm hoping to sew up a liner for those projects as well...)

Project Page: Mosaic Pencil Pouch | Pattern Used: Party Heart-y Mosaic (for Colorwork design)

Leaf Motif Skirt(?) -- not sure if I'll have enough to make a skirt out of, but we'll see. (If I did, I'd love to try to add pockets in too...)

Using my random practice-dyed yarns and seeing how far they make it. Not really sure I'm doing the 2nd leaf attachment correctly, I think if it doesn't work I might just make the leaves and sew them together...

Oh boy, a new character is introduced! And her name issssssss...

Atsuko Fujisawa

Fujisawa Atsuko (藤沢敦子) is a 3rd grader. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP!

Background

Atsuko used to be Cozy Glow, but ever since she reincarnated as Atsuko, she forgot all about her past. When Atsuko had internet access when she was a kindergartener, she was obsessed with idols, especially Haruka. And since then, the words "Tomorrow will always be a better day" always rang through her mind when things didn't work out for her. She dreams that one day, she'll be just like Haruka.

Atsuko later then created a channel called "Chinou-chan!" that posts her dance practices and Utattaites. Due to her channel getting immense popularity, she had to wear disguises every time she went outside. She then took a hiatus and considered retiring as an influencer and stop following her dreams as an idol.

One day, she accidentally eavesdrops on Minori, Airi, and Shizuku when they were talking about Haruka's mental state. She desperately wanted to help them.

Atsuko then meets up with Minori when they were walking to school, and Atsuko reveals her identity as Chinou-chan! to Minori. Atsuko then explains to Minori that it would be best to show or tell Haruka how she feels herself, after all, Haruka was really important to Minori.

Thanks to Atsuko giving hope to Minori, Haruka, Airi, and Shizuku and leading them to where they are now, she was invited to join MORE MORE JUMP!, and she excitingly accepted the offer.

Appearance

Atsuko has scarlet eyes and curly light blue hair that reaches to her neck.

Unit Outfit

Atsuko shares a similar outfit to that of the rest of her group members: a white sleeveless blouse with a black ribbon underneath a vest, a black and white ruffled skirt with multiple layers, a loose black belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, and white heeled shoes. Atsuko's outfit differs the most from her members in the way she has the color yellow as an accent color. She has two white ruffled arm bands on her upper arms and white bracelet-like sleeves.

Personality

Atsuko is an intelligent and cheerful girl who enjoyed being complimented and would work hard to get at least one. Despite the overwhelming popularity, she still like receiving compliments for anything she does. She started in idol training when she made the channel and became really good at dancing.

She always looked up to her favorite idols, almost often repeating some quotes from them, either famous or underrated. She always loved motivating people and leading them to the right path, even if it meant she had to lie. She also really likes sweets, she would ask her mom to either buy or make her sweets.

Relationships

Hanasato Minori: Fellow group member. Minori has heard about Atsuko's channel "Chinou-chan!" and listens and watches some of her videos. Atsuko was happy to help out Minori and form MORE MORE JUMP!, in fact, they wouldn't even be there without her help. Atsuko is grateful to have Minori and the others by her side.

Kiritani Haruka: Fellow group member. Atsuko always looked up to Haruka ever since she was a kindergartener. Haruka thinks Atsuko is worthy of being in the idol world.

Momoi Airi: Fellow group member. Atsuko really admires Airi's energy.

Hinomori Shizuku: Fellow group member. Atsuko admires Shizuku's inhumane beauty, and encourages Shizuku to be true to her heart no matter what.

Kanata's voice (Especially in her Idol cover) ABSOLUTELY fits Atsuko, no questions asked

Aaaaaannnnddd that's all for Atsuko! I'll make her design when I feel like it and continue on the others later! (Please know that I'm not good at writing. The reason why Cozy Glow is a bit out of character is because she doesn't have her past memories yet. It will come back soon. Also, I'm not gonna tag this as MLP cuz I know fans will bully me for making her OOC even though there's a reason for that.)

A Spectacular Fashion Voyage with Taylor Swift's Eras Tour!

As the final notes of the American leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour echo in our hearts, let's revel in the extraordinary fashion journey she's gifted us with! From the mesmerizing Lover era to the captivating depths of Reputation, each phase unveiled a distinct style, outfits that spoke volumes, and an aesthetic that transcended time.

She starts the show in her Lover Era with “Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince” followed by the first bridge of the night form “cruel summer”. For this era she has worn three custom bodysuits from Versace, all of them full of rain stones in shades os pink, blue, gold and purple, inspired byDuring this set in “The Man”, over the bodysuit, she wears a sparkly blazer as a dress, also from versace.

Fearless is next, Roberto Cavalli was in charge of creating these dresses that Swift rocked while dancing in a storm. The gold fringe dress was reminiscent of a similar look the designer created for her Speak Now Tour in 2011, the three dresses rememore the ones she wore back them, golden fringe and tassels that belong to her more than ever.

Long story short, while performing various songs from her album Evermore she took the stage in a yellow Etro dress that featured a corset top and beading detail down the front. For her magical performance of “Willow” she added a matching Etro cape. Playing into the woodsy nature of the Evermore album with a darker burgundy color and ruffles throughout Marco de Vincenzo, creative director of Etro, designed another dress for this set.

One of her most dramatic looks was the Roberto Cavalli one-legged jumpsuit. The design features a black sheer sleeve, glittering material and a three-dimensional embroidered snake motif winding from the bottom of her leg to the top of her neck. The ruby red snake contrasts with the black bezels of the design, it was reminiscent of the many bodysuits Swift wore during Reputation Tour as it was covered in black sequins scales.

For the end of a decade and the start of an age, she wore a custom-made Zuhair Murad Couture tulle ballgown – featuring beautiful beading, sequins, pearls and crystal embellishments all over the voluminous skirt and bodice. The impressive dress required 50 metres of tulle, while the elaborate design took more than 350 hours of handwork to create in the brand's atelier. In addition to the shimmering Zuhair Murad gown, after the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) she wore a beautiful lilac Nicole + Felicia ballgown, featuring a tiered tulle skirt that captured the light beautifully, thanks to its crystal-embellished finish. Another gown Swift fought dragons is was a Elie Saab one covered in flower apliqué and shimmery beading.

She was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, and she know it too well because she wore a sequinned Ashish t-shirt embroidered with quotes such as “Who’s Taylor Swift any wat? Ew”, “A lot going on at the moment” and “we are never getting back together like ever” with a Gladys Tamez Millinery hat that she gave to different fans every night.

So far we had a marvelous time leading to Folklore where the singer performed in a more delicate look in the form of a floaty, layered lilac dress by Alberta Ferretti. "Thinking about these stage dresses for her also pushed me to reflect on my career milestones," explained Ferretti. "I think what we have created reflects this journey where the key elements of my style stand out: lightness, femininity, romance, attention to detail and a delicate, gentle seduction." She wore a green chiffon gown with a deep neckline, flowing sleeves and embroidered leaf detailing, designed by Alberta Ferretti too. Swift added to her repertoire of beautifully designed dresses in a custom-made orange Etro gown, with an embroidered ruffled bodice.

Darling, she’s nightmare dressed like a daydream in three shimmering two-pieces by Roberto Cavalli. Its beautiful design gave the illusion of crystal water droplets, which moved effortlessly as she performed onstage. She wore the outfit with her go-to sequin Christian Louboutin boots. For the surprise song, Taylor topped this cavalli matching sets with Jessica Jones ruffled dresses in matching colours.

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes, the last part of the show started with a midnight blue bodysuit full of sequins and rainstones with a matching garter by Oscar de la Renta. In a lighter shade of blue, Zuhair Murrad designed another beaded bodysuit. In the lasts shows in LA, she also wore a bodysuit similar to the one she wore in the 1989 tour, with cut-outs and fringe bottom. Every time, everybody agrees that Taylor Swift wears the best looks on stage, and for Anti-Hero Taylor wears her second Oscar de la Renta look consisted of a sequinned 'aurora borealis' T-shirt dress with a co-ordinating lavender faux fur coat, which also featured delicate crystal droplets. For Karma she vibes like that with a tassel coat just to say see you later to the swifties.

An epic wardrobe, just like her music, just like @taylorswift

Put my take on Kitty in her OG look. For mine I wanted to keep the punk vibe it had but also mix in a 80’s party girl vibes with the extra accessories to give off Kitty as a girl who wants to still enjoy the mortal world and have fun!

Biggest change I made was changing the ripped shirt and red skirt to a black dress with belt. Another big change was that for my Kitty I’m going for her having good luck powers in contrast to Johnny having bad luck powers so I changed her necklace into a clover symbol and pushed her green colors to be connected with that for the good luck/four leaf clover motif🍀

I also made her hair shorter and was going for dreadlocks. My version of Kitty's Black!👩🏾‍🦱

What do u think? How would u want Kitty to look like? I’d love to know💖
