Bridgerton: Season 3 Lookbook

Season 3 of Netflix's Bridgerton continues to take place in the competitive world of Regency era London's ton during the season when debutantes are presented at court. Season 1 focused on Daphne Bridgerton, Season 2 focused on Anthony Bridgerton, and this season, Francesca Bridgerton debuts on the ton.  However, the season really focuses on friends-to-lovers Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. 

If you want more characters/outfits to choose from, check out my Season 1 and Season 2 lookbooks, as well as this Regency era lookbook I made in 2019! I may even make a Season 3 Part 2 if the second half of the season is as inspiring as the first!

also eloise bridgerton is conceptually the most hilarious character on the whole show. claims to be a feminist but every time her fellow women talk about their artistic pursuits or hobbies or interests or ambitions she’s like ugh you all fucking suck. not me though. i’m different. i want to be like my brothers. and then she has no real talents of her own. she’s not a feminist she’s still a reactionary turbohater AND a girlfailure. what she’s trying and failing to articulate is that she’s a lesbian.

Regency!five x reader

Synopsis: In the regency era every woman wanted to marry a man that was wealthy and had good status. there was little time to get to know one another. But you Y/N L/N are the most reluctant to these whole marriage to random men you don’t fully know.

———————————————————————

———————————————————————

maggie…maggie is a lesbian? you had no clue but now that you thought about it it made sense. She never was really interested in any of the guys. She always was with girls, hardly sparing a glance to a guy except for Colin since he is the brother and of course father. dad was looking at the letter with furrowed brows “Maggie, are you a lesbian?” he said softly. Mom chimed in “Honey why didn't you just tell us? We would and still would support you w-“ mom stopped upon seeing maggies face. It was hung and shrouded in darkness so it was hard to tell what her face was like. Oh boy did that change fast. Maggie's head snapped up “NONE OF YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!!!” she screamed. Her face streaked with tears, your eyes widened “maggie-“ she cut you off “DON'T MAGGIE ME! I TRIED TO KEEP ONE THING TO MYSELF THAT MADE ME HAPPY AND THIS IS WHAT I GET?!” she slammed her fist against the wall making people jump. You swallowed “Maggie i was just worried about you i didn't know!” maggie shoved you “BECAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW DO YOU?! I TOLD YOU NO AND YOU STILL DIDNT LISTEN!! THIS IS WHY FIVE WONT WRITE YOU ITS BECAUSE YOU FUCKING SUCK!! YOUR PERSONALITY IS BULLSHIT!!!” mom tries to jump in “Honey maggie please w-“ maggie went off on her to “FUCK YOU TOO MOM!! ALWAYS SO UP EVERYONE'S ASS ABOUT FINDING LOVE YOU ARE SO PUSHY AND ANNOYING!” Before Colin could even speak she went off on him too “DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON YOU!! KEEP YOUR FILTHY LETTERS TO YOURSELF! YOU AND PENNY ARE SICKENING!!” Everyone was shocked at seeing this. Mom began to cry and dad took her and led her out of the room “Okay kids come on everyone out maggie needs some time” maggie threw a book at you as you tried to leave “YEAH DAD GIVE EVERYONE ADVICE TO LEAVE! IM NOT ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY AND THINKS ITS WEIRD WHEN I AM BUT THE SECOND ANYONE ELSE IS HAPPY EVERYONE ELSE IS HAPPY!! FUCK YOU GUYS!!! FUCK YOU!!!”

~Timeskip~

You felt like the biggest piece of shit. You were just worried about her but now you made everyone upset because you worried. You didn't mean to pry like this into something super personal. You just were worried by the sudden change in attitude and the staying out all the time and obviously the guy in the alley way. It all worried you. Maggie was usually quiet and sweet ans was just sorta there but now that she had something to be happy about AKA violet than that meant you took the one thing ahe was most happy about and crushed it under your sole. God you really blew it this time. the next day maggie didn't even look at any of you and just left the house without a word. Mom would break down and cry and head to the bedroom where dad would follow. Colin picked at his food. Trisha was confused and tried to ask but it was a touchy subject considering you guys learned it against her wishes. You told her you would tell her kater which she complied too. you stayed by the window in your bedroom looking out it wondering when maggie would be back if back at all. You felt horrible for what you did. God you hoped maggie is okay.

Hi i hope you like the story so far! more is on the way! i love you guys be safe! 💋 😘

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | N°27 | Francesim, Palais des Tuileries, Paris, 10 Fructidor An 230

Emperor Napoleon V speaks with his close friend Laura, whom he met at the École Polytechnique a year ago. He is concerned about the upcoming media attention she will face due to their friendship, as they will soon be seen together during his officer training at the Naval Academy. Laura reassures him, demonstrating a calm acceptance of the situation with disarming composure. Moved by her understanding, Napoleon expresses his affection for her. The emperor now looks forward to reuniting with Laura and their mutual friend, Joachim, far from the political storms and the pressures of his imperial palace.

Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next

⚜ Traduction française

L'Empereur Napoléon V échange avec son amie proche, Laura, qu'il a rencontrée à l'École Polytechnique il y a un an. Il est préoccupé par les répercussions médiatiques auxquelles son amie devra bientôt faire face à cause de leur amitié : ils seront bientôt officiellement affichés ensemble, pendant la formation d'officier à l'Ecole Navale de l'Empereur. Laura le rassure, se montrant compréhensive et acceptant la situation avec une sérénité désarmante. Touché, Napoléon exprime son attachement pour elle. Désormais, l'empereur se réjouit à l'idée de retrouver bientôt Laura et leur ami commun, Joachim, loin du tumulte politique et des contraintes de son palais impérial.

(Napoléon) ça ne te dérange vraiment pas ? (Laura) Non bien sûr

(Laura) Je m’y attendais, ne t’en fais pas. J’ai averti mes parents

(Napoléon) Désolé de t’infliger ça (Laura) Ce n’est rien, Louis, il fallait que ça arrive

(Napoléon) Je ferai n’importe quoi pour vous aider

(Napoléon) Les journalistes et les paparazzi peuvent être dangereux (Laura) On peut l’être aussi dans la famille

(Laura) Plus sérieusement, ça me fait plaisir de suivre avec toi la formation

(Napoléon) Moi aussi Laura. Ton amitié compte beaucoup pour moi

(Napoléon) Et Joachim aussi est impatient qu’on soit à nouveau réunis (Laura) Je l’ai eu au téléphone un peu plus tôt

(Laura) Juste avant toi (Napoléon) Quel hasard

(Napoléon) Comment tes parents ont pris la nouvelle ? (Laura) Plutôt bien, étrangement. Ils s’inquiètent surtout pour toi

(Napoléon) Pour moi ? (Laura) Oui. Et je suis d’accord avec eux

(Laura) Tu n’as pas eu beaucoup de repos depuis l’an dernier (Napoléon) Je vais bien rassurez-vous

(Napoléon) J’ai hâte d’être avec vous et quitter ce maudit bureau

My only question is why is this user pretending to like Eloise's feminism all of a sudden?

Okay girlie, Daphne's first love was Simon. Fran's first male love was John and her first female love was Michaela. By her sisters' characterization, Eloise should literally end up with her first love, Theo Sharpe. She shouldn't be treated like a Bridgerton brother in which she doesn't end up with her first love. Anthony didn't end up with Siena, Benedict didn't end up with Genevieve, and Colin clearly didn't end up with Marina. It's funny that with the Philoises genuine hatred of Theo/Theloise they want Eloise's characterization to be like her brothers instead of her sisters 🙄

If that user had a longer attention span then they would have seen Claudia not mention Phillip/Philoise/TSPWL a single time. If she was intended to set up her book endgame, shouldn't the S3 press start that foundation? Maybe I'm thinking too much but it is indeed basic storytelling...

No Theloise, Creloise, nor Elorina is against Eloise falling in love. We just want her to discover herself and improve on herself. We don't see her improvement as suddenly becoming marriage minded and loving babies. Which a lot of Philoises are in favor for because of Book Eloise.

I really hate that Philoises call Theloises, Creloises, and Elorinas anti-motherhood and anti-stepchildren because of our dislike of Philoises/TSPWL. NO! We understand that Show Eloise HATES the countryside. If that person knew how to read, she would know that Claudia Jessie herself said that Eloise feels just as trapped in the countryside as she does in the Ton. No her running away to Romney Hall throws away three seasons worth of her characterization. Not to mention, Eloise is NOT FOND OF CHILDREN! Funny that when Daphne, Penelope, and Fran all got married as teenagers to become mothers young no one thought or asked hey they are awfully young, are they mature enough to be wives and mothers? No, as the fandom basically praised them. But Eloise who doesn't want to get married or have kids, the fandom questions her maturity? It's gender essentialism at its finest.

Eloise doesn't want it all. Philoises cannot comprehend this about Eloise's character. They just see their Plant Daddy and get excited. Eloise wants a different life. In the society she lives in, upper class women are encouraged to have the most advantageous match. Eloise balks at that as she argues or is incompatible with the men her mother throws her way. Like if she can't get along with Lord Morrison, what makes Philoises think she'll get along resoundedly with Phillip Crane??? Also, instead of enjoying balls, soiries, garden parties, and operas, Eloise feels best with her books and attending assemblies. Yes you got that right, Eloise LOVES ATTENDING ASSEMBLIES!

Unless they decide to make Phillip into a radical feminist, there's no way for Eloise to be allowed to become her true outspoken self. Which is unlikely if they are sticking with Philoise (also unlikely!). As Phillip is clearly a Regency era character. He gives up on his dream of becoming a Cambridge professor to marry Marina and protect the kids. And that wasn't a feminist action, he was complying with the patriarchal society to protect Marina through marriage. Not to mention, why doesn't he let Marina run Romney Hall by herself so that he can teach at Cambridge? Oh yes, because he abides by Regency norms. Additionally, if he really was a feminist, then why the fuck did he invite Colin to his house without Marina's permission? It is because of that action, that the braindead, feebleminded Philoises think that Marina is depressed and miserable. Like who wouldn't be pissed as fuck with their spouse inviting their ex?!

In conclusion, we don't misunderstand Eloise's character. We just understand that the show's version is a lot different to TSPWL. Something that the dimwitted Philoises can't comprehend. Because they foolishly think Philoise is show canon despite Phillip being married, Phillip being a boring man, Eloise hating the countryside, Eloise not being fond of children, and of course neither Phillip nor Eloise EVER sharing a scene together!

Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beckett at the Masquerade Ball

“It suddenly made sense. Only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman. He’d thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he’d always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him.

His heart had been right. There was only one.”

Julia Quinn, An Offer From a Gentleman (Bridgertons, #3)

During the Bridgerton Masquerade Ball, the dashing Benedict leads the lovely Sophie to a hidden balcony, away from prying eyes. There, beneath the shimmering glow of the moonlight, a stolen kiss ignites a flame of romance that shall be whispered about in salons for years to come. Ah, the allure of a kiss under the moonlight! How delightfully scandalous!

‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Casts Yerin Ha as Benedict’s Love Interest Sophie Beckett

“Bridgerton” has cast Yerin Ha as Benedict Bridgerton’s love interest for Season 4.

According to sources, Ha will play Sophie Beckett in the upcoming season of the hit Shondaland-Netflix series. As previously announced, Season 4 will tell Benedict’s (Luke Thompson) love story and will be based on the events of Julia Quinn’s third “Bridgerton” novel, “An Offer From a Gentleman.”

Beckett is the “Lady in Silver.” In the novel, she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl and one his maids. She was brought up in her father’s house, though he never publicly acknowledged her as his daughter.

Ha is perhaps best known to American audiences for her role in the Paramount+ series adaptation of the “Halo” video games. She appeared in both seasons of the series in the role of Kwan Ha. Her other credits include the Australian shows “Reef Break,” “Troppo,” and “Bad Behaviour,” as well as the independent horror film “Sissy.” She will next appear in the Max prequel series “Dune: Prophecy,” which is slated to air in November on the streamer.

She is repped by WME and Morrissey Management.

A big happy 4th of July to my American simmers! What better way to celebrate than by creating a look book showcasing some of the most notable and iconic first ladies?

CC links under the cut.

Martha Washington was the first first lady of the United States, although the title wasn’t coined until after her death. She took on the social role of the president's wife reluctantly, becoming a national celebrity in the process.

Mop Cap  |  Hair  |  Dress (Recolour)  |  Dress (Mesh - TSR)  |  Fichu (Scarf)  |  Watch (Vintage Glamour)

Louisa Adams was born in London and raised in France. In fact she was the only foreign-born first lady until Melania Trump. While serving she took to writing, producing plays, essays, poems, and an autobiography.

Hair  |  Earrings  |  Dress  |  Undershirt & Shoes  |  Socks (Get To Work)

Mary Todd Lincoln staunchly supported her husband throughout his presidency and was active in keeping national morale high during the Civil War. She was seated next to Abraham when he was infamously assassinated.

Hair  |  Earrings  |  Dress

Frances Cleveland is the only first lady to have served in the role during two non-consecutive terms. At just 21 years old when she first starting serving, she is the youngest presidential spouse in American history and the first to actually marry in the White House.

Hair  |  Dress (retired - direct download)  |  Gloves (My Wedding Stories)

Nellie Taft was a very progressive woman for her time and was closely involved in the political aspects of the presidency, regularly sitting in on meetings and serving as her husband's closest advisor.

Hair  |  Earrings  |  Choker  |  Dress  |  Shoes

Mamie Eisenhower was a popular first lady and recognized as a fashion icon, known for her iconic bangs and frequent use of the colour pink.

Hair  |  Earrings  |  Dress  |  Watch (Vintage Glamour)  |  Shoes (Base Game)

Jackie Kennedy (header) was regarded as an international fashion icon and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally. She  established the White House Historical Association, which has had a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of the United States.

Hair (Nifty Knitting)  |  Earrings (Base Game)  |  Suit

Betty Ford was one of the most candid first ladies in history, commenting on the hot-button issues of the time such as feminism, equal pay, the Equal Rights Amendment, sex, drugs, and abortion. After undergoing her own recovery, she founded and served as the first chair of the board of directors of the Betty Ford Center for substance abuse and addiction.

Hair  |  Suit  |  Ring (My Wedding Stories)  |  Shoes (Base Game)

Michelle Obama worked as an advocate for poverty awareness, education, nutrition, physical activity, and healthy eating during her time as first lady. She also supported American designers and was considered a fashion icon.

You awake in the morning and find that the rain has stopped. You pack your things up and get ready to go home. you head downstairs hearing your mother call to you telling you that breakfast has been done by the servants. You sit down across from five. You and his legs at some point become intertwined. You didnt mind and you looked to him to see if he minded which he didnt. You blushed remembering the dream from last night and pulled away slightly making him look up in confusion and a hint of disappointment. You look over and notice Colin staring at Penny unabashedly at that too. you sigh and eat your food only to find that after you ate penny went down a hall and colin followed like a kicked puppy. You got worried and followed. You just wanted to make sure they didn't kill each other only to be met with your brother and penny heavily making out whispering apologies. You cringed cause thats your brother but hey you where happy they got back together and finally where chilling out. five at some point noticed you leaving and followed after you only to be met with the same sight and you “so what's thi-“ you looked to him “Dont ask” with that Colin and Penny backed up into a room. “ew ew ew” you made your way out of the hallway making five burst into a fit of laughter as he followed after you.

Reginald began wishing them a good and safe travel. Him and your father talked for a while before you all had to head out to the carriage. you and five end up talking. He took your hand. “I hope you and I can keep in contact” you smiled “Yes i hope so. I quite enjoy talking to you despite my first impressions of you. "You wondered why he took your hand and you were about to take your hand back when he brought your hand to his lips kissing the back of it. it made you blush. you took your hand back “I will see you next time, y/n” you nodded “R…right” he walked away for a minute and came back with a flower and placed it into her hair. you chuckled. He raised a brow “What's the laugh for?” you looked up at him “Is this the flower from the vase?” his eyes widened he didnt think you would notice. It made you both giggle.

meanwhile…Trisha is with Diego who ultimately is not very into her. He seems to be trying to be nice to her but he is just not interested in her. Trisha is holding his arm “You don't suppose you would want to write to me right?” Diego nervously chuckled and turned and saw his brother viktor “excuse me, trisha you havent happened to have met my brother viktor have you?” He goes to Viktor who was unsuspecting and pushes him to her “please get to know each other!” trisha’s eyes widened as diego's arm was taken from her hands and replaced with viktors “but diego i-“ he was gone before she could even say anything. Viktor was ultimately confused. He looked at Trisha and smiled softly “hey.” trisha looked to viktor and smiled back softly being polite “hi” her and viktor began to talk to each other occasionally trisha would glance to were diego left to but biktor ultimately won her attention and it was an odd sight to see she was calmer and listening more than talking. Trisha was always a talker, sometimes even talking over others. She didn't listen well but viktor…viktor caught her attention. He might be good for her.

you and five said your goodbyes and you watched him walk back to his siblings. You turned to go to your own family when you saw Maggie was by herself looking at Allison in her eyes, an emotion you didn't understand. You looked to Allison who was talking to Luther and you looked back to maggie. Supposedly Klaus caught interest in maggie to cause he went to her talking to her for the first time. This was strange because other than his family and what seemed to be very close friends he didn't talk to anyone else much. Maybe because they thought of him as weird. You boarded the carriage along with your family and everyone waved goodbye until waving was unnecessary. Moms head was on dads shoulder, colin looked at penny as long as he could until he couldn't and he looked down at a locket with a picture of penny inside, trisha was looking out the window oddly being quiet and in thought, and maggie oddly was very smiley and was overjoyed over something.

What an odd day.

"WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?"

Involuntarily your eyes flickered to the table, and he followed, turning his head to the study, which he noticed immediately was tidied—tampered with. "You went through my things?”

“I did not mean to!” you exclaimed, gaping at his sudden charge towards the desk, you hot at his heels. “I just thought it looked like a mess, so I tried cleaning it—”

“You are not a servant,” he cut off, darting over the new order of his account books, as well as the fiction which you had assembled. “You are not required to look after me like that.”

“I know, but—”

“And sneaking out with my possessions? Without my permission?” He smacked the book on the table, making you flinch. “I thought you better than that.”

You were better than that—well, at least until tonight. You ransacked your mind for an excuse, any form of escape, except your words were absolutely pathetic. “You have never minded me reading your novels before,” you attempted. “In fact, you encouraged me to scour your shelves.”

He looked at the book again—a moment too long—and went back to set a slight glare upon you. “Well, my journal is not a trivial novel. It was private…not meant for you.”

You knew that. What did not settle well, though, was that your dearest friend, who had shared his every worry, his every confession to you, had been doing things you had no inkling of, things that incited such…extraordinary feelings from you. 

You had to know what more lay in those pages—and why you had felt the way you felt in those pages which your eyes did scour. “I read it.”

His glare faltered. “How much?”

That question was answered with another. “What was it, Joshua?” You stepped forward, a timid gesture, so you could catch a look at the hardback again. “I…I read some pages, and…what was she doing?”

His hand on his journal pushed it back. “I do not know.”

“Liar,” you got out, and he pursed his lips. You knew him irritatingly well. “You are keeping things from me.” 

“It is not keeping things from you,” he countered, frustration rising in his voice. “It is…protecting you from those…things.” 

“Tell me what those things are, Joshua,” you demanded, quietly but not softly. “It has rattled you enough. That has never happened to you.”

But he was silent. Eerily quiet, merely the rustle of his clothes, the soft thunk of his novella settled back with the French novels which raised your suspicions. A boundary made—a rejection established. 

Perhaps you would have respected it in another lifetime—in a world where you had not indulged your curiosity, set your eyes upon entities which were not for you to explore. Perhaps you would have respected it even if Joshua had offered to enlighten you—maybe blushed and ran away, and vowed never to look through his possessions again. 

The writings had rattled you, though, more than he realised. Social etiquette—good common sense would have expected you to respect his opinion, opinions of society, and drop the subject. 

Joshua Hong, however, was your greatest friend. No societal expectation could change that. 

So you opted to push the limits. Refuse the silence to be the end of this matter.

“I read enough, you know. To feel…” A pause. “I cannot even describe to you how I felt, because I have never felt that way before.” You tried to find the right words, a single confession out of order and he would stop listening—or so you thought. “There was an extract you wrote, Joshua, which had certain…descriptions…” Burning. Pleasure. Naked. Fire. Ecstasy. “There was a girl who was doing something. I am unsure what she was doing specifically, but…what she felt watching them…”

A soft exhale released from you, and almost instinctively Joshua released his own breath. “I think I…um, I think I felt a remnant of it.” 

He blurted out, barely a whisper, “You what?”

You looked at him—barely managed a nod. “I do not…don’t even know what she was doing with her fingers—” Joshua’s sudden coughing interrupted you, holding a fist to his lips to stop himself—“But whatever it was…I want to know what it was.” 

You watched the man stay deathly still, yet the emotions racing behind his face were certain. Not only were you rattled, but had passed this strange sensation to him. Had he never felt it before? You wondered, surprised by the similarity of his reaction to yours. 

He then responded to you, and you realised your mistake. “You cannot.”

Another boundary. Another opportunity to cross it. “Why?” This time, you stepped closer to him. “Why can I not know?” He was silent once more, and this time, you would not accept it. “Why are you hiding from me?”

“Because you are a lady!” he finally cut out, an agitated sigh coming straight after. “You are not to know such…such material.”

A lady…that you were aware of, but that still did not answer the question. Joshua watched, Joshua did whatever he had done to a lady. The answer was not good enough.

Judging by the increasing agitation in your friend’s countenance, he knew it too. It was at that point, though, when you truly noticed his harsh sighs, the tight fists—one at his mouth now trudging to the table, and the other secured at his hip—figure rigid. How affected he was by your questioning.

As if he mirrored the same sensations as you experienced.

“Is it…” You pursed your lips. “Is it because you were feeling them too?” 

A blink back—the only recognition of shock. You held onto this, continuing, “Tell me the truth, Joshua. You said yourself, no? That a lady cannot know, but you did not say a gentleman cannot either. You were feeling it too, were you not?”

His eyes were widening with your every word, and he stepped back, almost as if to run away. You did not need an answer from him now—it was abundantly clear that he had undergone such passions, as if it was not certain as you read it. There was only one question left in your arsenal now.

Joshua could have collapsed to the study floor. He heard the questions, and suddenly all he could do was gape at you. The determined curiosity in your eyes, the resolute stature of your body, closer than he last remembered. Oh, he would die before answering such a thing to you. He could not. He could not. 

“_____, it is late,” he began after a long time. The slight hope on your face leaving instinctively dampened his spirits. “It is already rash that you came here without a chaperone and I refuse to let you become the centre of ill conversation.”

And there it was. The supposed end. 

You did not realise how disappointed you were until you found your voice again, much graver than you expected. “So that is how it will be.”

Fine. If your best friend would not entrust you with such information, you would find the next person who would not be so apprehensive. A fortunate situation that you already had a man in mind.

As you turned on your heel, you heard him ask, “Where are you going?”

You did not stop your walk away, looking over your shoulder as you retorted, “To Soonyoung. At least he will be honest with me, if you choose not to be.”

He must have said something, but you did not deign to hear, only looking to the door, which was slightly ajar. You held your hand out, ready to open it further. 

Another force—another hand, larger than yours, slammed the door shut, jumping you out of your skin. Quickly you swivelled to see Joshua, breathing slightly uneven as his hand stayed right beside your head, resting against the wood. “Good God,” you got out, “What was that for?”

“You cannot go to Soonyoung,” he said instead, gaze frantic. 

You furrowed your brows. “Why?” 

He frowned. He could tell from your irritation that you assumed it was jealousy, a worse morphing of cowardice. It was not jealousy—nothing like that. Soonyoung was like a brother to him, and he knew that if there was anyone else you could have gone to without eliciting scandal, then it was that eccentric. He would explain everything to his friend, and be done with it without furthering his own curiosity. 

With that in mind, he would also tell you everything. Joshua was aware that there were skeletons in the closet of such matters, and your door was already slightly ajar. Should you go to Soonyoung to seek counsel, he would break down the doors, and suffocate you with the bones of such sensitive information.

What you asked was no normal feat. What you asked was sensitive. Precious. Soonyoung was trustworthy, but he was not careful. 

Joshua, on the other hand, was careful. Very careful, if he thought so himself. 

“He would not…explain it properly,” he offered instead. 

“At least he will explain it,” you countered, twisting your mouth. “I’d rather something than nothing at all.” 

His brows knitted together, desperation rising. “You have to understand me, _____.”

“Not after this.” You tried to avert his gaze, but his eyes—for the very first time—were incredibly hard to ignore. “Let me out the door.”

His reply, although perturbed, was clear. “I cannot.”

“Then tell me, Joshua,” you demanded. “Tell me what she was doing.” 

He should have stayed silent forever. What he should have done—as a gentleman, as you yourself had deemed him—was keep his mouth shut. 

A semblance of his sanity slipped once he uttered the fated words.

“She was touching herself.”

My Simblreen 2024 Gifts: Regency Dresses and Accessories

Yes, I know I used that GIF for my porchlight, but I don't have time to go and take another picture and I'm drafting this the night before because I procrastinate and do things at the last minute. Anyway, happy Halloween, I am sharing my Simblreen treats publicly with y'all

You will be getting three AF dresses (2 for formal wear, one for riding), 1 Lace Collar Accessory (Found in the necklace category) 1 Fichu Accessory, and 1 Paisley Shawl Accessory (Both found in the glasses category), and 1 Regency Poke Bonnet (Found in the Hat Category). I also had a turban hat hair to release but forgot I made it in July when I was experiencing hat hair difficulties so it will have to wait to be released with my next hat hairs.

Below, I'm going to insert some pictures of what you'll be getting, I used meshes and textures from maya40 which she was kind enough to send to me. I also recolored @cringeborg's yplum riding habit because she had already converted it. The other dresses are just a long-sleeved version I made of these. The textures are based on dresses in real life.

Stuff generally works from about 1810-1826. The poke bonnet could very well work until the late 1830s, and the fichu could work from about 1750-all throughout the 19th century.

BGC, everything is low poly except the Augusta Poke Bonnet. It is 27k poly and I cannot decimate it without it having holes unfortunately. If your computer can't handle it, don't put it in your mods folder.

General Warning: I run dx9, if you experience any issues with not seeing some stuff in CAS that uses transparency, I'd run a batch fix with s4s if you run dx11 : )

As always, let me know if you have any issues.
