Bondage in Brushstrokes

One of the things I can provide is what I call a narrative hypnosis session. Its a longer trance in which I weave a story in your ears that begins to feel very real.

My subject today wanted one such session and we settled on a wonderfully transformative idea: sealing her inside a painting.

After some gentle fractionation, lulling her up and down, she settled deeply on my lap ready for a little tale.

She's stood before a grand wooden door, the brass of the doorknob warm from the sun in her hand. She felt a knot of nervousness as she turned it, even though the letter I sent her said that she was to just come in with no need to knock.

A wide and bright hallway greeted her, natural light spilling in from every window. The floor was clean and polished white tiles with smaller black tiles nestling at the intersections. A curved staircase winded up and out of sight. The walls were clad in a vibrant dahlia scroll with painted wood panelling at the bottom.

"Come on through, my doll!" my voice calls from the beyond the kitchen at the end of the hallway.

Her shoes echo in the hall as she moves through, and a rustic well-loved kitchen greets her. The smell of fresh baked bread fills her nose, almost lifting her up as if it was a cartoon. There was a wonderful spread of cheeses, fruits, pastries, and meats on the island.

"We'll tuck into that later, my doll, come come." Her fingers snap away from the roll of salami she was about to snack on.

She rounded the door and found herself in a tall domed conservatory. Glass and white painted metal arced above her. It felt like an exhibit at a World's Fair at the turn of the century. Deep verdant plants lined one side, massive monstera leaves bathed in the sun.

I stood up from my stool, wearing green overalls already splashed with paint, a soft, loose blouse underneath it, with a green bandana keeping my dark auburn hair away from my face.

"We're going to have a lot of fun, my doll."

SNAP

Her eyes widened as she began to strip. Her hands worked at the buttons of her dress automatically. She wondered when I wove this spell into her, but before she could finish that thought her clothes were pooled at her feet.

"Good doll, now for the finishing touch, kneel-"

She was knelt. Like she always had been. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt a ribbon grace the back of her neck. Cool and smooth on her skin, she felt it be brought to the front and tied into a bow. I held her chin with my finger and thumb.

"Perfect. Now pose for me darling." She feels her head moved by my finger and thumb and she sees a green chaise lounge. She feels herself walk over to it and recline. The green velvet is smooth to the touch, no matter which way her skin moved over it.

I move to a table behind her, take a hardback book from it and put it in her hand.

"Flick through the pages, see which one feels right to land on. You'll be looking at it for a while" I giggled.

She pressed her thumb in the side of the book and let the pages rustle past. Just before halfway she stops and looks at the page and felt a touch confused. The page was filled with one sentence over and over and over.

"I'm a good doll"

Confused, she goes to say something but finds no words leave her lips. Her eyes widen once more and tried to turn and look at me but her head will not move.

"It always takes you by surprise, doesn't it? But you're a doll, being still is what you're made for."

A warmth blossomed in her chest as those words entered her mind, and she began to embrace the stillness I had woven into her from the first time we had a session.

"You see, my doll, I had everything painted already, I was just missing my subject..."

I trailed off as I began to paint, the sound of the bristles on canvas tickled the air as I began my work painting her feet.

She then began to feel strange. No- not strange... different. Like her feet were being compressed, wrapped in tight bandages.

She was unable to say a thing.

Then the feeling rose, her calves, then thighs, like they were being tightly wrapped and encased.

"You have such pretty legs my doll" I mused, bringing deep blue shadow onto the chaise lounge where her legs rested.

Now she began to feel strange. Like the chaise lounge was pulling her in, like it was being flattened out wrapped around her, the velvet caressing her skin.

But still the feeling rose, a tight encasement creeping up her still form.

She wondered if her eyes had been open too long because the text of the book was becoming so blurry, but then she realised that her eyes were fine. The book had changed. The words now nothing more than close approximations, scattered marks of paint across the page.

But even then, when her eyes drank the facsimiles in, she felt their meaning deep in her body.

I'm a good doll

Soon the feeling was up her arms, her hands seemingly part of the book she was holding. Soon her chest and shoulders became part of her surroundings.

Then she felt the bristles of my brush across her lips.

A single stroke sealed them shut.

She wanted to bite her lip, to moan, to tell me how good she was feeling, but those feelings melted away when I dabbed my brush on the canvas for the last time.

A wave pleasure washed over her from head to toe. Every part of her sang with pleasure her total bondage was complete.

"Now where do I put you..." I wondered aloud.

Like a soft jolt on a car ride while she was happily asleep, she felt a shift as I took her off my easel. Confusion rippled in her painted mind.

She oblivious to the fact that the chaise lounge was now empty.

That the book was gone.

That was she was now nothing but paint on my canvas, encased and sealed.

Everything clicked as she felt an impossible warmth on her cheek. It was like resting her face on a loved one in a cuddle. The warmth moved down her body, across her breasts, down her arms, over her sensitive areas, and down her legs.

She felt so good beneath my fingertip.

"Now... I could put you in the living room, let all the dolls enjoy you knowing you're bound in there. Or I could put you in the bedroom, deliciously restrained from joining in the fun. Or maybe the kitchen so you could watch the dolls go about their day in their cute maid dresses."

I brushed my finger over her sensitive area.

Her whole body pulsed with pleasure. Every part of her connected in her bondage; the perfect conductor for pleasure.

I continue caressing the canvas, knowing the pressure is building in her. That delicious ache growing with every passing second.

She needed to scream. She needed to buck and rut and bite and dig her nails in. But my brushstrokes kept her still, the pleasure building even more.

But the rubbing wasn't stopping, and the pressure kept building, and the climax was coming, and the rubbing wasn't stopping, and the pressure kept building, and the climax was coming, and the climax was coming, and the climax was coming, and the climax was coming!

Her mind flooded with pleasure as she climax. Her painted bondage holding her still as the pleasure stormed across her. There was no part of her that wasn't lost in pleasure.

Her bonds cradled her as the afterglow settled in, easing her muscles, soothing her body, slowing her breath.

"I think I'll put you in the bedroom."

This is my grail garment. A 1930s cape that I stumbled upon on Pinterest and fell in love with. The original image is from wondertrading over on Flickr (check them out! They have oodles pictures of gorgeous vintage pattern).

Unfortunately, I cannot find the pattern itself anywhere.

Solution? Make my own!

I have lots of courage and little skill. Started sewing clothes this summer and I still haven't finished a single one (though to be fair, I only need to hem the two skirts and modify the blouse slightly to be done. Unfortunately I don't want to, so we're doing this instead!)

Step 1: How It's Made:

I have made Barbie clothes from drawings before, so I have a method. Is it the most efficient method? No, but it works for me.

The first step is always to get the best possible picture of the garment and figure out how it's made.

Since this is the only image I could find of this pattern, I need to improve it on my own.

I'm using Paint Tool SAI's linework layer to draw on top of the image with my mouse. The result is this:

The point here is not realism, but simply to make it clear how each layer of ribbon is formed into the cape. The white lines are drawn on top of the more subtle highlights of the original drawing, to help me figure out where I need to ruffle the three bottom layers.

Clearing up the image and removing the original, I end up with this:

(The numbers were added in Paint, since SAI don't have a writing tool.)

We have five layers of ribbon-

Ok, let's stop there. The cape is clearly named "McCall Ladies' and Misses' Ribbon Cape", and while I have absolutely no clue about 1930s fashion, that doesn't look like ribbon to me. 

That looks like strips of fabric. Velvet fabric, to be specific.

I will have a different blog post on what material I think this is made from (tl;dr: silk velvet) and what I will use instead (I am poor and not skilled enough to sew silks). Stay tuned for that later.

But let's get back to the "how it's made". At the middle back (where the numbers are on the drawing) the strips of fabric seem to be equally wide, possibly narrowing somewhat where layers 2-5 meet layer 1. I will assume that the layers are equally wide all the way around, since that's easy to do, and it will be obvious in the finished product if I was wrong. It will also be easier to figure out where I should narrow the strips of fabric down, and how much, once I've made the first mock-up. So this is a "mañana" problem, aka. "make a note, but ignore for now".

Also, my method leads to the need for multiple mock-ups. That is because I would rather make it twice than spend days figuring out each step and still be wrong. Cheap cotton fabric is absolutely worth investing in if you follow my "fuck it, good enough" method of sewing.

From the original drawing I can see that the cape goes from the neck and down to about the shoulders, so I measure this area to figure out how wide each ribbon should be.

On me (a short woman with no shoulders) this is about 46 cm.

46 / 5 =�� 9.2 cm = 9.5 cm

(I'm rounding up to 9.5, because I am not fiddling about with millimetres when I'm making clothes for myself. Half a centimetre is close enough!)

But I can't just add on some seam allowance and start sewing. From the image, it looks like the top layer envelops all the other layers. Doing that will make it a lot easier to sew, and make the finished garment look better.

Therefore layer 1 will be width + width + seam allowance.

Layer 1: 9.5 + 9.5 + 2 = 21 cm

I set the seam allowance to a centimetre at each end, therefore 2, since one centimetre is clearly marked on my sewing machine. You can change this number to whatever you prefer. Main rule: if the fabric is thick or unravels easilly, make it wider, if it's thin or tightly woven you can make it smaller. For clothes to myself, I never go beneath 1 cm, but I am also a beginner.

Layer 2 - 4 are quite simple. Width / 5 + seam allowance.

Layer 2 - 4: 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 cm

Layer 5 is slightly different, since you need to hem the bastard. Hemming with a single centimetre seam allowance is possible (and can make a nice finish), but it's a pain so I won't.

Doubling the seam allowance on the hem makes the total seam allowance 3 cm, and the calculations:

Layer 5: 9.5 + 3 = 12.5 cm.

So now I have the width of each layer. Next step is how long each layer is. Unfortunately, this is something I will have to try on my body to figure out. The top layer will need to be tied in a bow at the back, so cutting that out and finding the right length should be easy-ish.

But I also need to keep an eye on how each layer is sewn.

Because layer 1 and 2 are both given shoulder seams on the drawing, while layer 3, 4 and 5 are all ruffled around the shoulders, but with unruffled backs and sides. That means that layer 3 will be quite a bit longer than the second layer, but how much is impossible to know until I've made the mock-up.

Also? Different fabrics ruffle differently. So if you sew this from a stiffer material, you might need fewer ruffles, while a more drapey fabric will look better with more. Since I'm making my mock-up from woven cotton and my garment from velvet, this will be something I have to keep an eye on when making the actual garment, since velvet and woven cotton drapes and ruffles differently.

So now all I have to do is cut meters upon meters of strips of fabric.

Start a podcast, put on the TV or phone a friend to keep you company, this will take a while to do.

Round Neck Top,

Round Neck Top,

A round neck top is one of the most versatile and enduring pieces in fashion. Known for its simple, clean design, the round neck—also called a crew neck—is universally flattering and works well with a variety of outfits, from casual to semi-formal. Whether you're looking for a comfortable everyday piece or something to layer, a round neck top offers endless possibilities.

What is a Round Neck Top?

A round neck top features a neckline that is circular, fitting snugly around the neck, without any visible collar or detailing. It’s one of the most basic and classic designs in fashion, often seen in t-shirts, blouses, sweaters, and dresses. The round shape of the neckline gives a soft, symmetrical appearance that balances well with almost every body type.

Why Choose a Round Neck Top?

1. Timeless Design: The round neck top has been a wardrobe staple for decades, enduring through different fashion trends and evolving styles. Its simplicity makes it easy to dress up or down, making it suitable for nearly any occasion.

2. Versatility: Round neck tops can be found in various fabrics such as cotton, wool, silk, and polyester. They can be worn alone in the warmer months or layered under jackets and cardigans during the colder months. Whether it’s a basic t-shirt or a more polished blouse, the round neck design fits seamlessly into all types of outfits.

3. Comfort: One of the major selling points of round neck tops is their comfort. The neckline is non-restrictive, offering a relaxed fit that doesn’t chafe or pinch. This makes it perfect for those looking for everyday wear, as it allows for a full range of movement.

4. Flattering Fit: The round neck design creates a balanced look by elongating the neck, especially when paired with earrings or a necklace. It’s often considered a universally flattering shape that complements both slim and fuller body types.

3. Layered Look: Round neck tops are ideal for layering. You can wear them under cardigans, blazers, or even denim jackets. For a more sophisticated look, layer a round neck top under a sweater vest or over a collared shirt.

Bridal Lehenga Blouse Design: A Timeless Tale of Elegance and Innovation

The bridal lehenga is a cherished ensemble that symbolizes not only tradition but also the culmination of countless hours of artistry and craftsmanship. While the lehenga skirt often garners much of the attention, the blouse known as the choli plays an equally crucial role in completing the bridal look. The design of the bridal lehenga blouse is a fascinating interplay of cultural heritage, contemporary trends, and personal expression, making it a topic of endless fascination and evolution.

The Classic Appeal

Traditional bridal blouses often feature intricate embroidery, rich fabrics, and timeless cuts. Silk, brocade, and velvet are popular fabric choices, each bringing its own luxurious texture and sheen. The embroidery is usually elaborate, with motifs inspired by nature, mythology, or Mughal art. Zari work, zardozi, and gota patti are some of the favored techniques that add a touch of opulence to the blouse. The classic round neck and half-sleeve designs continue to be a staple, offering a perfect canvas for showcasing intricate handwork.

Modern Innovations

As fashion evolves, so do bridal lehenga blouse designs. Modern brides are increasingly experimenting with cuts, styles, and fabrics to create a unique and personalized look. Off-shoulder, halter neck, and backless designs are gaining popularity, adding a contemporary twist to the traditional attire. Fabrics like net, georgette, and chiffon are being used to create sheer, ethereal blouses that exude a romantic aura. Additionally, the use of unconventional colors like pastels, metallics, and even black is on the rise, breaking away from the traditional red and gold palette.

Fusion Styles

The fusion of Western and Indian aesthetics is another exciting trend in bridal lehenga blouse design. Corset-style blouses, inspired by Victorian fashion, offer a structured and regal appearance. Peplum blouses, which flare out at the waist, add a modern flair and can be especially flattering for brides who want to accentuate their waistline. Capes and jackets, often adorned with intricate embroidery or beadwork, are being incorporated into bridal ensembles, adding a layer of sophistication and drama.

Customization and Personalization

In recent years, customization has become a significant aspect of bridal fashion. Brides are increasingly involved in the design process, often collaborating with designers to create a blouse that tells their unique story. Whether it's incorporating a special motif that has personal significance or choosing a particular fabric that resonates with the bride's style, the possibilities are endless. This trend towards personalization allows brides to wear something that is not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful.

The Role of Accessories

Accessories play a pivotal role in complementing the bridal lehenga blouse. Statement necklaces, maang tikas, and bridal dupattas are carefully selected to enhance the overall look. The blouse design often dictates the choice of jewelry; for instance, a high-neck blouse might be paired with a choker, while a deep neckline allows for more elaborate necklaces. The dupatta, whether draped over the head or around the shoulders, can also add an additional layer of elegance and tradition.

The Timelessness of Bridal Blouse Designs

Despite the ever-changing fashion landscape, certain elements of bridal lehenga blouse designs remain timeless. The emphasis on craftsmanship, the celebration of cultural motifs, and the quest for elegance and beauty are constants that transcend trends. Whether opting for a classic or contemporary design, the bridal blouse is more than just a piece of clothing; it is a work of art that embodies tradition, innovation, and the bride's individuality.

Conclusion

The bridal lehenga blouse is a canvas that allows for endless creativity and expression. From traditional designs rich in heritage to modern interpretations that push the boundaries of fashion, this essential piece of bridal attire continues to evolve, reflecting the diverse and dynamic nature of bridal fashion. As brides continue to seek blouses that resonate with their personal style, the future of bridal lehenga blouse design promises to be as exciting and diverse as ever.

How to Choose a Bridal Lehenga for Your Body Shape

If we were to receive a dime every time we hear a bride express her desire for an 18-kali full flared lehenga, we would have amassed a fortune by now! While it seems that a lehenga with an enormous flare, larger than the mandap itself, is every Indian bride's dream, there are a few factors to consider when selecting a lehenga that suits your specific body type. To begin with, if you are unsure about your body type,

There is an online calculator available that can determine your body shape. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common body shapes, including Hourglass, Apple, Pear, Rectangle, and Round Shaped. So, let's dive in!

Hourglass Shape

If you have an Hourglass or an X shaped body, then congratulations are in order! You have a figure that can rock pretty much anything. When it comes to lehengas, opt for an A-line style in a fluid fabric like Velvet, Georgette, or Chiffon. These fabrics will complement your shape beautifully without appearing stiff.

Lehenga Skirt To enhance your waist, pair your A-line lehenga with a short choli blouse. This will show off your waist and make you look like a million bucks!

Lehenga Dupatta When it comes to draping a lehenga dupatta, you have the freedom to choose any style. Just make sure that your waist is visible and the dupatta doesn't cover it up.

If you're looking for some lehenga options specifically tailored for your hourglass figure, here are a few suggestions.

Rectangle Shape

If you possess a rectangular body shape, also known as an H shape, it is likely that you have a slender and athletic frame without many curves. In order to enhance your figure, your lehenga should be designed to create the illusion of curves. Lehenga Skirt Opt for a wide and full skirt made from a stiff fabric to add volume at the bottom. Raw Silk would be an ideal choice for you, followed by net. To achieve a more flared look, consider adding can-can to the lehenga.

Lehenga Blouse Pair your flared lehenga with a low and plunging blouse to create the appearance of curves.

Dupatta Drape Since you may have broad shoulders, it is important to choose a dupatta that is not stiff, as it can further increase their width. Instead, opt for a flowy and soft dupatta to add a touch of softness to your overall look. Here are some lehenga options that will complement your body shape!

Pear Shaped body or Bottom Heavy

To flatter your pear-shaped or bottom-heavy body, it is important to focus on balancing out your proportions. When it comes to your lehenga skirt, opt for horizontal details that will create a sense of balance between your narrow top and curvy hips. Avoid fish-tailed or snug- fitting skirts, and instead choose something plain and flowy. Be cautious not to go for excessive flare, as it may make your body appear disproportionate.

Lehenga Skirt For your lehenga blouse, make it the highlight of your ensemble. Consider a blouse with some padding and a deep neckline, as this will help balance out your bottom half. Cape lehengas, high-neck, off-shoulder, or sleeveless blouses are all great options for you.  

Lehenga Dupatta When it comes to the lehenga dupatta, a cape style is ideal. Just ensure that the dupatta doesn't flare at the bottom, as it may add unnecessary weight to your look.

Here are some lehenga options that will complement your body shape!

Apple Shaped or Top Heavy

If the majority of your weight is concentrated at the upper part of your body, it is likely that you have an apple shape, V shape, or inverted triangle body type. Regardless of which category you fall into, layering can be your best ally!

Lehenga Skirt When it comes to choosing a lehenga skirt, opt for jacket lehengas as they are currently in trend. To flatter your figure, select soft and sheer fabrics that can be layered over one another. Additionally, make sure to choose a wide neckline to create a balanced look. Avoid fabrics like brocade or tissue, as they may give a flat appearance to your lower body. Instead, go for flowy materials that add movement.

Lehenga Blouse For the lehenga blouse, it is important to avoid closed-up necklines as they can make your upper body appear wider. Opt for wide and open necklines to create a more flattering silhouette. Steer clear of off-shoulder, deep necks, and sleeveless blouses, as they can give the illusion of a heavier top.

Lehenga Dupatta When it comes to the lehenga dupatta, avoid wrapping it around your neck or bust, as this can make you look heavier. Instead, consider draping it around your elbows for a more flattering look.

To help you in your search for the perfect lehenga, here are some options that will suit your body type!
