When you are left without any option to bring your ideas into life, you start to think them over even more (after all, it is all that you can do). So once I have got an opportunity to make anything on my computer again, I thought I had to try and make, at least as sketches, some of the outfits of Anne, one of my favourite OCs from ''The True Story'', one of my favourite own stories.
Few of them I already tried to recreate in Snow Scene in 25 days OC challenge - cream, Christmas, Greek, peach wedding and green floral dresses - but these ones are much more accurate versions.

These are the outfits which Anne wears at different points during the story. However, here they are placed not in the cronological order. Instead, I wanted to collect the outfits by themes - the first three are worn on morning, the second three are fancy, the third three are long-sleeved and the fourth - ball dresses.

Morning - quite accurate to how I imagine it to be.
This is the dress Anne wears on the morning after her birthday, when she takes a certain decision that would help to settle her troubles, at least she believes so. But instead, it only makes things more complicated. However, the dress itself is a nice one.
Cream - the stripes on the fabric are actually thin and looking much more dainty.
A special one. This is the dress she wears when she meets the man who would become the love of her life, although at first she thinks quite opposite.
Christmas - I call it so because it is worn on Christmas morning; at this picture it does not shine like it actually should being made of silk.
A nice dress to match the joyful mood of her favourite holiday.
Pastoral - I am quite satisfied with how the fabrics turned out (it is made of two kinds of silk damask).
A fancy dress styled after a 1780s Anglaise gown. It was not purposely made for a fancy ball though.
Greek - a bit rushed and not so well-though drapes. But the general style is spot on, a waist-fitting dress with decorative drapes stitched to it.
The outfit Anne wears at the Christmas Eve carvnival, she goes as Andromeda, the princess from the Greek myth about Perseus.
Indian - almost as gaudy and exotic as it should be | neither she not me actually like the dress, but it was fun to make.
The outfit itself may be nice, but there is a story behind its making which made it impossible for Anne to truly like it. Although she does look lovely wearing it; the delighted admirers compare her to a graceful porcelain doll.
Blue home - the shawl is awful, but the rest is quite acceptable | not her most favourite dress either.
Again, the dress may be indeed a nice and comfortable one. But Anne dislikes it and I get her point - having grown up in a room with dark blue wallpapers and forced to wear clothes in almost exclusively dark blue colour in her early life, just because the others decided for her that dark blue is her colour - it became the symbol of coercion and attempts to dictate her what to do and how to live.
Peach wedding - as neat as I could achieve in a game like Snow Scene | we both do not like it at all, but it was fun to make.
As the note says, there was no wedding then, and Anne knew it beforehand, so she did not bother herself with designing an elegant dress. Instead, she let her relatives to order an outfit modelled according to the last and newest wedding fashions.
Green day dress - nicely and quite accurately done, except for the skirt panel that should be placed a bit higher.
This dress Anne wears when visiting her great aunt. Anne is not exactly spiteful, but she chooses this dress because she does not like her great aunt (who hates green colour because it was the favourite colour of a certain man whom she grew to hate fifty years ago).
Lilac ball dress - I am proud of the pleated neckline! The taffeta did not came out good though
Such a lovely dress! Sadly it is worn on several not-so-lovely occasions.
Sage ball dress - I was lazy to make the folds on the skirt, but the gauze overlay is somewhat acceptable
Another lovely outfit, although it turned out to be too meaningful to wear more than one time (until a certain moment).
Sea ball dress - again, the taffeta did not turn as good as it should be. But I like the fringe.
And one more pretty dress worn with a ruined mood. A common story - a girl put a lot of effort into her dress to look her best at the ball, but found out upon arrival that the man whom she hoped to meet did not come.

Any feedback is highly appreciated, although I already know beforehands that I failed to make the fabrics properly.
