I have photographed the things I made! Join me for a brief thread!
Remember the #CinnamonLinenJacket and the #CinnamonLinenSkirt? Here they are, also with new slimmer petticoat and Second Largest Hat, which I never previously took any good photos of.

#HistoryBounding #HistoricalFashion #Edwardian #Sewing #Tailoring

A pretty cool and flattering but not at all historically accurate portrait of Sini wearing an ensemble of warm brown linen skirt and jacket with black details, a black linen blouse, and shoes and hat of the same hues. Her hat is rather large, a dark grey with gold and copper tone flowers on its surface. Her glasses are round rose gold, and there's a little brooch at the standing collar of the blouse. The jacket had black lace and beaded decoration, and hangs open, in a style not meant to close at the front. The skirt is an ankle length full trumpet shape, hip and waist hugging up top and flaring out at the hem. It is a bit wrinkly, but drapes lovely all the same. The shoes are black and cognac brown, looking about the same colour as the rest of the ensemble. She is looking to the left of viewer in profile, taking a jaunty step.

@merigold Thank you! A part of me wanted to put on a bigger petticoat, but the softer, transitional line was slightly more accurate! As would a corset and some hip padding, but I am blessed with a bit of caboose of my own and the room was very warm! 😆

@merigold And yes! I'd been eyeing them forever, thought I'd maybe never wear such a "bright" colour, got them... And then was possessed to buy some of this brown linen, also. And here we are.

I could have worn a bigger petticoat, but since my hat is of a slightly later end of the nineteen-oughts, I only wore the slimmer one I just made. Here with gloves also, though it was way too hot indoors for them. The jacket has so many process photos in the hashtag... I'm still not super happy with how the back and back sleeves sit, but I'll take it!

#CinnamonLinenJacket #CinnamonLinenSkirt

A dashing little full body portrait of Sini taking a step forward in the ensemble described in the first post of the thread. The geometric lines of the jacket, with two little buttons captured by the lace edging, are a nice contrast to the smooth softness of the line of the skirt. She's gazing at the camera and thus the viewer, in a light filled living room, backlit against some sheer curtains. The little dots in the veiling seem to float in mid air on the dainty veil of the hat.
Back view. The skirt falls in beautiful smooth ripples, being nearly a circle skirt at the back, and the high waist of it sits just below the hem of the jacket, a little peek of both snatched waist and black blouse peeking out. It's a rather dynamic look. The jacket back sits nicely, but is of slightly the wrong width, thus messing with how the sleeves fall... While there is plenty of range of motion, there's a bunch of bunching up at the back of sleeve, and it would look much better in motion and with arms bent at the elbow, instead of this rather like a musical number jazz hands at the side pose. Hat looks cute. Red curly hair in a messy do spills out from under it.
Side view, with another jaunty step and extension of ankle. She is looking back at the viewer again, looking rather cute in her enormous hat and round glasses. The sleeve here falls nicely, the full volume of the back of skirt is seen, and there's even a peek of sock... Which is a gray stripe and the wrong colour for the ensemble!

Closer up look of the hat and the lace that took on a lot of time to sew on. Both on hat and jacket! My little blouse is one of the many linen ones I sewed during the winter. I happened to be wearing it, and it was the right style, so I just kept it on. 😆 Also, petticoat I finished today and one of the little corset cover tops I made earlier this year.
A closer up portrait, in side profile of face and sort of side front view of body. The hat has a mostly balanced spray of the embroidered flower lace on it, which nicely goes with the red curly wig, the jacket and the skirt. The little brooch at her neck is very tiny and completes the look. The black decorative buttons of the jacket can be seen to have been just tacked onto the front, just hanging out there. The high waist of the skirt doesn't quite want to lay smooth without a corset underneath, but it does a very good job of hugging the body! Sini is doing a little pose of pretending to think about something, eyes cast down, one finger to the chin, and the other hand at back of waist. The veiling from the hat is more visible here: It's drawn half over the face.
Just the skirt and the black blouse. No hat, showing the curly rather large shape of the hair do, with the dark ombre roots of the wig more on display. The sleeves of the blouse cut off above the elbow, and she looks like she could be off to do some secretarial duties just as soon as she's done giving eyes to the cute girl in the next room. The skirt being ankle length and the blouse being a sort of sharp and practical shape without much frills beyond some pin tucks, she looks like she's of a practical minded Edwardian sort, only up to some disruption of society probably.
And lingerie! An ankle length petticoat with much embroidered cotton lace hem, even more pin tucks and tucks, and a couple of layers of confection, and a little sleeveless top with pink ribbon at its neckline are both instantly underwear-like and something you could probably wear out for summer without anyone batting an eye. The top is very bloused, fundamental for the iconic pigeon breast look, even without a corset under it. There's the leg of a little end table sticking into the frame, and some blinds - adjusted by a cat without her noticing - in the background messing with the neutral over-exposed dreamy feel... Not edited out in this photo, because why not leave them in to chuckle at them later.

@bengesko Thank you, I mostly got them from my mother! The eyes are from my dad, though. 😄 With these glasses on I apparently look like my maternal grandmother, which is also fun.

I especially liked "a practical minded Edwardian sort, only up to some disruption of society probably", made me think of the novel "Proper English" by KJ Charles (recommended if you like Edwardian queer romance with murder).

I do a little bit of sewing and costuming myself, but very much slapdash. It's fascinating to see and read about your work -- I've no ambition to try to get anywhere close to your skills, but I really like to see what's possible for someone who has spent the time to get very, very good at what she does!

@hildeaustlid Edwardian queer romance with murder sounds pretty much perfect... I'm putting it on my list!

I'm not extremely particular about everything I make, most of my shirts have overlocking on the inside and everything... But that just means I can put that time into something else that might benefit from it, like collars and such. I think I've probably also lost all idea of what is a reasonable amount of work to put into a garment, the petticoat was like "yeah let's just make a quick little petticoat" and then I spent at least three days on just the decorative bits. 😆 Tailoring properly is one thing, but then there's spending a lot of time on the fiddly bits!

This is clearly the main character in a historical detective/crime story, just in the process of explaining the murder to the assembled suspects.

@mavu Thank you! It sure did take a lot of time, if I had to do everything from scratch right now it would probably take months, but over the course of a year or two it doesn't feel like as much. 😆 "Ooh, I happen to have this as well..."

Ah, I wish I had a whole production squad to make silly little short films like "Sini discovers a mystery!" and then it's just answering why the clean shirt already has cat hair on it, or where the scissors went... But super dramatic!

I'm not really a 'clothes person' myself, but my ex most certainly was, and taught me to appreciate good style and how a person 'carries' an outfit.

This outfit I like a LOT, and you wear it well. Were I to meet a person dressed similarly I would totally have to talk to them about it!

@PhoenixSerenity The EU equivalent of FFP3 I can find in my size (and locally manufactured) are always white, and they're alright, but oh how do I wish I had them in black at least... 😭 I've thought about a little cover one, just thin fabric to put on top, but I usually only remember when I'm already going out the door...

@artcollisions I did! I wasn't ever extremely super happy with it, since the shape isn't my favourite it turns out... But to steam it into another shape I'd have to remove at least some of the decorations and haven't been arsed. 😆 It's from a costuming pattern, I'd do it again much different if I redid it.

The overlay with the lace flowers was from a tiny piece of very very expensive fabric I only got like 30cm of, and every piece of it went on the hat! The body is just random acrylic wool mix from a sale bin!

HAT! Hat is big! I knew but I didn't realise that it could go with these, especially if styling the rest of it a bit more 1905 than 1899! Heck do I wish I could find more of the veiling easily, though, the shop in the UK I originally ordered it from doesn't do the EU currently...

@ErictheCerise Welllll... That's because steampunk is Victorian fashion put in a blender with brass and gears glued on top? 😄 It's not terrible in any way, it's very creative and fun, but I don't know, saying Victorian/Edwardian fashion looks Steampunk is like saying the Bayeux Tapestry reminds you of Ren Faires! Technically true, but rather the wrong way around...

@JoBlakely Oh, I just wear the shirt at home and everywhere! Goes with pretty much anything, really.

The jacket is based off a style that popped off in the late 1890s, and it was straight up copied off the open bolero jackets and military uniforms of some country, which were copied to school uniforms in Eton, which were copied into women's wear... Something like that. The same shape has been borrowed and re-borrowed so often that it looks like multiple other things. 😄 Fashion!

@Duusi Thank you! Having followed the posts you must have noticed how much trouble the sleeves and back gave me, and that I am not at all infallible when it comes to sewing, yet. 😆

It's a little bit funny how much time I spent on the beading, and how little it's visible in any of the photos. Ah well, I know it's there.
