This is a Beatrix maxi dress by Liberty fabrics that I made back in january (when it was too cold for a photo shoot). It's a wide dress, tied in the back with big, gathered sleeves which gives it a kind of 70's vibe. I found this gorgeous ocra viscose which I love but the fabric is kinda thin so I feel like it should be worn with some kind of undergarment... I did some small adjustments such as shorten the sleeves and make the neckline just a tad less plunging. All in all an easy pattern to follow. I'm pleased!

I know little to nothing about Ludovica's partner, but to me seems she'd wear pink or purple (tho idk if those colors were popular during the 1500s) pink because itd be a neat contrast with ludo's green, purple because its a regal color
I also keep stubbornly visualizing her in pink! Not barbie pink but something along the lines of dusty rose or light mauve. I don't think I've ever seen pictures of any proper pink being worn in late renaissance times though, it doesn't exactly fit the aesthetic (but I could be wrong of course). Most pastel colors are strongly rococo (1700's) coded to me.
#I'm sure there are people who know a lot about the history of fabric dyes and why pink only became popular in the 1700's#but I'm not one of them weh#was it difficult to manufacture or something? I know saturated red and purple were expensive until synthetic dyes were invented#answered#anonymous#I think I'll see if she looks nice in pink and if she does I'll just use that#I try to do my research but in the end I'm not aiming for strict authenticity#artistic liberties have been and continue to be taken#see fig. 1: my beloved anachronistic clawfoot tub

litany of the martyrs (click for better resolution!)

I had a lovely time shopping at the Liberty store when we were in London. Today I unbundled the fabric I bought and gave it a press. I have it hanging on my design wall while I decide what to do with it. It is just so soft and the patterns are just lovely. I don't have much but I think I may be able to get a small quilt top out of it if I add in some plain. I will keep looking at it, an idea is bound to arrive soon.

You're the only Turn dedicated blog I really follow so I offer up this question, you incredible creator of memes: Why wasn't Austin Roe in Turn??? I'm confused??? Like why??? He was pretty important???? Why???????????????????
this is funny bc despite having a BA in history i'm probs also the least qualified turn blog to answer this bc outside of memeing on turn i really could not care about amrev. like, i specialized in american history and for the most part actively avoided amrev-centric classes
but that being said, it's well known that the turn writers liked playing fast and loose with history. so austin roe is technically in the show as like an alias for robert rogers in some weird abe woodhull manipulation plot. but as to why the real guy wasn't included?? idk. my two cents is simply that the turn writers don't know how to be normal™️, especially when it came to writing the setauket storyline
#sometimes i think their creative liberties (and historical fabrications) were fun like with the mary shooting simcoe's ear scene#but a lot of the times it was just kinda weird and unnecessary ngl!!!#now passing the torch to turn blogs who actually care about amrev to answer this ask better lol#turn amc#turn: washington's spies

right, i've completely lost my ability to find anything online, and recently had to get a new os so i lost all my old bookmarks. anyone got 1) that one painting with the guy with the very evil armor with a bat/dragon on his helmet being accused of killing the king and/or 2) a site where i can find accurate medieval dresses, i'm trying to draw a Thing
#ignore me#the queen in that painting has the kind of dress i want to draw#thick fabric looks maybe almost like velvet? with a low neckline and a big gold belt hanging across the hips#every time i see that style of dress i'm struck by the almost modern sensibility of it. i Really really like it#i'm working on a fantasy medieval drawing so i will be taking Liberties but i want to at least start from an accurate base

GEORGES DREAM Scarf This 60s style mens scarf is handmade from a stunning soft and lightweight tana lawn cotton by Liberty Fabrics called 'Finesse', which was printed in Northern Italy. Inspired by the designs of William Morris and his daughter May this stunning print is reminiscent of the late 1960s prints with a dark background and entwining flowers and leaves in blue and green with hints of pink, which brighten as the light catches the colours. - Tubular design - Short self-fray fringing, approx ¼" long.
This scarf will make an eye-catching addition to your wardrobe!

Getting my EPP quilt out again
😱 OMG what have I done. Seeing all my hexis that I’ve cut out together laid out rather than in a box is pretty intimidating. I’m not sure how many I have, I don’t think I want to know 😱 Just got to embrace the process and accept, this isn’t a quick project. I’ve been slowly making this since 2020 lockdown, see previous blog for more information. What I’ve completed so far is hanging on my…

We are having a wonderful holiday in London England. Today we visited the Liberty of London store. It is a beautiful store spread over four floors. I made some purchases and looked and looked at all the lovely things. Sadly I could not fit the chair in the last pic into my tote bag to bring home. It would be perfect in my sewing room.
