This is stunning! Hear me out though, imagine a version where the puff of the sleeve is a sheer organza and then you could fill the puff with fake butterflies or birds or whatever flora or fauna you chose. Sort of like a little Victorian vivarium on your arms! I may need to do this myself!

"Can you find silk moire?" Yes, I found a few yards of it in black, emerald, and raspberry at a thrift store for less than $15 for all the lengths together many years ago. It has a lovely ribbed texture, I'm using the black for a caftan and a vest with tutturma detail. Edit: that dramatic stand collar was called a Medici collar or sometimes a Moring glory collar in the 1890s and 1900s! I personally usually just call them evil queen collars.

Propagating succulents...I laughed so hard! Love the sleeves. As a child of the 80s I've worn many a floral puffed sleeve monstrosity.

I admit I cried to see this perfect Villain bodice. Perhaps your black bodice could be Hematite? The striations of the Moire could make it Psilomelane. It goes into striated rock rather than wood, but stone names are soooo cool! I love that you have officially named one of your standard pattern pieces the Vampire Collar piece tm. I lived through the 80’s and I adore puffed sleeves. My purple wedding gown was copied from a dress from the Cocteau film: La Belle et Le Bete from 1938. It had huge tulle stuffed bags inside to hold the sleeve shapes. 23 yards of fabric (not including the tulle) for my wedding gown, made by a dear friend who just patterned it from watching the VHS tape. Gotta love a friend like that!

I love watching you assemble these puffy sleeves. I learned to sew in 4-H, taught by an amazing seamstress. She taught us to always baste in the elbow seam area about 4” of stitching is enough. Then just use it to ease, rather than gather the elbow area, so there is a bending room. I have a wide elbow and it keeps the fabric from pulling taut and tearing the seam with use. I am new to your work, thank you. I needed inspiration during our snowstorm today.

The concept of weeeable mock-ups. It’ll get you every time. I say, as I sit here hand sewing a mock-up for a shirtwaist that I could have done quick and dirty on the machine, but my toot itching is atrocious (still can’t sew a straight line, not helped by the fact my machine badly needs a service and I’m pretty sure the timing is ever so slightly off). But why sew a quick mock-up that’ll do nothing else when I could take ten times longer to sew one I’ll be able to wear? It’s a nice, soft cotton twill that used to be a bedsheet. If it were a scratcher, or stained old bedsheet, I’d be able to just mock it up to check the fit, but wearable mock-up it is. And because I still can’t sew a straight line on a machine, hand stitching it is. That bodice with the skirt looks stunning. It’s got enough of the mandragora silk to make it match and look like a matching outfit. Just lovely.

the reveal at the end is giving me spinster vibes that society ladies would point to as warnings but are secretly in awe of themselves

I actually do also have a wearable polyester mockup of a simple shirt I was trying to copy because the original (home-made from thrift store) is disintegrating (I've made several more since I fine-tuned the pattern). It's hot pink and has black, pink and purple finger-loop braiding lining the neck, pockets and cuffs and goes beautifully with a purple stretch velvet skirt my friend made me. The only change to the pattern was to drop thefront of the keyhole neckline about an inch so I can get it over my head while wearing glasses, and I have moved the pockets around on future versions. I never finished the seams on the mockup, but the original I was copying hadn't either, and that's not what was disintegrating on the original!! Also thank you for the inadvertent warning to stay away from SilkBaron altogether until I actually have a pattern in mind. And a place to wear whatever the pattern is for. And have used at least three more pieces from my stash. Went to the fabric store this week and came home with 5 metres of wide weave (100% unidentified fibre but looks like wool blanket) $6/m in tan and purple woven plaid that I don't know what I'm going to do with just yet but the rule is it has to be wearable for more than one event a year... so probably something medieval or Outlander-y, historically adequate at best, probably rectangles-and-gores construction, plus a matching hooded cloak. Maybe lined hose. Or a bedspread. Or something. I just had to have it. And a burn test when I got home suggests that whatever dryer lint they spun up, dyed and wove into this monstrosity is mostly natural fibre, the bits that kind of melted didn't make a hard ball like when I burned polycotton and I was able to easily crush the resulting blob between my fingers and it smelled a bit like burning hair so I'm guessing it also had more than a passing acquaintance with a sheep... so I'm not even allowed to LOOK at anything irridescent until conditions are met. Otherwise I'm gonna need another trunk for stash fabric and a second closet for even more pretty clothes I will never wear because for me, dressing up involves wearing something that's not PJ pants or cargo pants stuffed full of work tools :P
