Forgive me posting the link before I've finished the video, but I am just so tickled by Abby Cox in her "I'm just gonna say it" era. "Before you go, Abby, why would you say suffragists were criminals? They fought for our right to vote. Yeah, they did. And breaking the law was an important part of that process. You can be both a hero for human rights and a criminal. They usually go hand in hand."

Hat pins! Sass! History! Outfits!

Femmes of the vintage and DIY lingerie persuasion with larger busts, a video has dropped for you! Maria makes two vintage bras out of non-stretch cotton sateen which is a pretty approachable material to try.

I've been making mine for a while now, mostly out of modernised 1930s patterns and vintage styles, as they can easily be made from cotton jersey. The modern construction is much more fiddly than in the video, as stretch materials are the devil!

post: Drawn Data Viz - chair sitting

Growing up when there was a lesson about etiquette, or proper manners, we were told how to sit on a chair. As an adult I like making charts and one of my hobbies is learning about historical fashion. How could that go wrong, right?

Who has links for online national acrchives? I'm loving browsing through fashion magazines from the past, so if you have recs for those, please add. No translation options needed. #historicalfashion #sewing #history #historybounding @sewing

A little #HistoricalCostuming interlude! Here's this screenshot of the latest Prior Attire video, where Izabela is showing off different 1830s clothes.
But look! Look! It's just applied bias strips on a bodice and it looks so cute and fun and interesting, oh heck! I don't think I've ever seen this up close before.

I made this outfit a while ago and it's still one of my favorites. It was mostly inspired by Edwardian fashion. There was a ton of hand-stitching done on the blouse between the insertion lace, buttonholes, and finishing seams, so it took a total of 55 hours to make.

#introduction post on this new instance

Hello! I'm faelif, also known as Ava. I'm 18 and am studying for my A-levels here in the #UK (double #maths, #chemistry and #physics). I program in #Python and am learning #Haskell. I'm #transfemme but I don't particularly feel connected with gender.

I'm interested in #mathematics, #STEM more broadly, #trains, #politics, #history, #linguistics, #TokiPona, #ScienceCommunication.
I listen quite broadly to #KPop, #JPop, #JRock, #musicals and #pop. I also listen to #ASMR.
Though I'm not very knowledgeable about these topics yet, I'm interested in #sewing, #HistoricalFashion, #JFashion, in particular #LolitaFashion and #EGLFashion, and #manga.

I used to be @faelif@mastodon.social, and I'm also at @faelif@mathstodon.xyz and @faelif@bookwyrm.social.

Am having kind of a terrible morning (or afternoon) so am managing my brain wrinkles by browsing old fashion magazines. And experiencing the wish to have any kind of need to make more clothes like these!

Ladies, gentlemen and persons with gender beyond the ken of cis minds: I am firmly back on my bullshit, browsing Victorian sewing manuals.
Sure, I already found what I wanted, but I also have a dozen other tabs open!

Browsing more old pattern catalogues to soothe my brain wrinkles. In today's edition of "this was one of the most expensive pages to print in this entire thing" I present to you: "Say, do you like bees? "

Am indulging in perusing an old pattern catalogue slash women's magazine slash fashion periodical from 1896, and I've seen this particular fashion plate before, but every time... Every time I look at it and wonder at the fact that quite a few people thought this was the cutting edge and important enough for colour print...

#introduction. Just left shitbook LOL. I love #nkotb #punk #boybands #80smusic #gardening #historicalfashion #silentmovies #precode

It is I, the #OutsideGirl, and today I went to try my new shoes and to fetch a parcel and to visit a Jysk!
The Jysk was as it ever was, and I got a new lamp to replace a calamitously destroyed new one. The shoes were surprisingly comfortable, and now I have two pairs of shoes!

Brace yourselves for a reproduction postcard from 1915 or so, a cornucopia of an increasing number of "Wait, what?" the longer you look at it. It has chickens and the barest fucking tangential connection to the holiday of Easter and that's wonderful. Gaze upon it:
