Description So, because ~artemis5096 is so cool, I'm uploading the design for the Nobody Wa-Loli outfit. I was afraid of flooding your inboxes, but, alas, you will just have to deal. That's why I try to tag what it is in the title, just as a bit of fair warning

Anywho, I have all of the fabric for this, and I'm ready to go. Major notes:
- No collar on the kimono, just more red piping or edging.
- Very short box sleeves, but still full length (3' sleeves.
- Funky skirt that will either faux lace together, or actually lace together, with leather grommet tape and red satin cording.
- Again, can be worn with the corset, or with the more simple obi/sash.
- Shiny gem buttons as kamon again.
- Design embroidered on sleeve.

The drawings on the skirt are just kind of approximations of what the fabric looks like. It's way more detailed, but is in a vertical pattern. The obi stuff is shiny.

So. Again, an attempt at simple awesome. I hope it works!

And, sorry for the random character looking thing. I dunno what I was sketching, but it looked dumb as hell without a head and face, and that's what I just scribbled down, sorry Not meant to be any character in particular!

Now, to go build the embroidery pattern for the corset...

Design by Sam Lemieux/Taeliac Studio [link] 2008
Please do not steal my designs, I beg of you!

Oh! Feel free to draw characters in the outfit, if you'd like, just credit me and shoot me a comment or note when it's done so I can see them

have you ever thought of making a corset like obi?

taeliac In reply to bloody-red-sporks [2008-01-17 01:00:58 +0000 UTC]

you read my mind - I have sketches from a year ago, of various corsets that mimic obi or the kimono tops themselves now, to find the time to make them (Hopefully, during my corsetry independent study, I will!)

I'll try, that's for sure - when would you need it done by, though? Because after this weekend, I'm back in school and going crazy (too many classes XP)

I rather like the idea of the corset on top of the yukata, while the drawstrings give it such a sexy look!

Haha, random thought, but the hair looks like Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo! xD

Oh man I know that feeling, I don't have the body for a lot of things because I'm very boy shaped O_o Hense the reason why when ever I cosplay I cosplay male characters O_O or wear big flowy clothes that can give the illusion of a girly figure.

Wow. That's so amazing. But how do you go from a sketch to the actual pattern? I've draw outfits I'd love to make, but that's the part I have trouble with.

taeliac In reply to GlassDrakaina [2008-01-17 01:03:01 +0000 UTC]

Hrm... well, that's the trick. I've been doing cosplay for... 7 years now? or so? And 90% of cosplay is taking the sketch and figuring out how to make it into reality... I guess it's just a lot of practice, and knowing what type of pattern you need to do something certain

Dangit.

And, I just ordered my first hunk of coutil *sigh*

I'm completely broke. But, it will be worth it. Now, to go beg Chris to buy me a few more busks *whines*...

I blame it squarely on you, and your beautiful creations. And being so nice, and encouraging to everyone

Janes-Wardrobe In reply to taeliac [2008-01-17 10:04:30 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry I've cost you a fortune! The coutil will be worth it - once you've used it nothing else will quite do. It can be stiff and a bit tricky to make boning channels in very curved seams without puckering - but you'll get the hang of it. Unless you've got one of the softer coutils - in which case you won't have a clue what I'm talking about !

Are you going to create historical costume now you've see my attempts? Muahahahahaaaa!!!!! (Determined to bankrupt the competition...)

taeliac In reply to Janes-Wardrobe [2008-01-17 18:41:46 +0000 UTC]

No, probably not. I mean, I know I'm going to have to do an Elizabethan corded corset, but that's about it. I'm definitely more of a fan of the "quick and dirty theatrical variety of corset" (as my instructor refers to them as) -- I'll leave the real one's to the pro's

Janes-Wardrobe In reply to taeliac [2008-01-17 21:22:13 +0000 UTC]

Elizabethan corded corset? I thought the corded corsets were Regency? I'm no expert - still learning but I wonder if you're confusing cording with the reeds that were regularly used prior to whalebone?

I'm going to do a corded Regency job next and then an Elizabethan but these two will probably have to wait until after the market I'm doing mid March. I have so much to do for that including a whole new Victorian outfit for me - which will need a new corset as I've shrunk too much to wear my old Victorian corset.

Still I've madeup two medieval shirts, a pourpoint (waistcoat type thingy for tying hose to - 15th C) and a pair of 18th C pockets today so I'm feeling pretty good!

And stop it with the I'm getting all big headed

taeliac In reply to Janes-Wardrobe [2008-01-18 04:04:05 +0000 UTC]

Maybe. I'm not sure, myself. Most of what i know is "Civil War" era (1860's), so I am probably wrong Thats why I need the class on it XP And, my costume history class was so boring I could barely stay awake XP

I so can't wait to see that outfit - so pretty! I'm still floored by people who can do historically accurate (or even close!) outfits, it jsut blows me away. And, that is a ton of work!! All I got done was draping a skirt for my costume this year, that was supposed to be finished by the end of my winter break -____-;

You deserve to be all big-headed! You're amazing, I love all of your work!~ It's so different from what I normally do (and, quite frankly, see) that I just love it to death!

Janes-Wardrobe In reply to taeliac [2008-01-18 16:11:40 +0000 UTC]

Maybe you should've paid some attention in the history - Elizabethan is way earlier than the 1860's - that's Victorian!

Your lecturer must've been really dull - fashion history is exciting - well it is if the person delivering the history is actually interested in it!

taeliac In reply to Janes-Wardrobe [2008-01-18 21:38:10 +0000 UTC]

No, I know that, but I really wanted to try to make "Renaissance Fair" stays -- I know everything I've done so far has been Victorian in one way or another (I completely fear the S-curve one's, though... it just hurts me in sympathy for the people who had to wear them!)

It was a horribly dull class. We read the book, kinda. And then went through the book in class, kinda. And then watched a bland power point where all the instructor did was read off of the slides, which was also a reitteration of the book, kinda. The most interesting time is when we talked about the "Civil War" era, where my friend brought in a ton of her reproductions (~MissMaggie1860 )

I've found,b ecause of her, I'm definitely more interested in history than I thought I'd be, but not enough to jump out of cosplay XP I like the random that cosplay really is... and who doesn't like trying to figure out how to make giant wings that look like a bow but still stay up on their own

Janes-Wardrobe In reply to taeliac [2008-01-18 23:06:42 +0000 UTC]

Ah Renaissance Fairs - I still haven't worked them out - it seems kinda medievalish influenced but pretty much anything goes - I may have got that completely wrong, but when you look at the lengths some of the European re-enactment group go to to be really authentic it does look like fancy dress!

I've got a replacement copy of 'Corsets and Crinolines' by Norah Waugh today and I've been reading up n stays and corsets. The 'S' curve corset didn't seem to last long at all - and was very probably only worn by the very fashionable. From what I can gather all underwear forms seem to overlap from one fashion period to another - depending on the age of the wearer and the height of fashion they wanted. All very fascinating. I haven't attempted an 'S' shaped corset yet - I'm not 100% sure I'll ever get around to that.

Your friend ~MissMaggie1860 is definately what I meant by making history exciting.

I love the idea of cosplay but it just doesn't seem to be as big in Europe as it is in the USA. Maybe it's partly to do with history - modern American history is pretty recent whereas Europeans can trace their history back centuries. Who knows...
