I’m on a mission to make historical, fantasy-fairytale inspired clothing that will also save me from the current heat wave we’re having… So far, so good! Follow along as I delve into the wonderful world of the Artistic or Aesthetic Dress Movement and make an outfit that can also serve as two summer dresses and a fancy belt!

The ambient music was giving classic dr who vibes. Lol
Even most wealthy women didn’t tighlace – actually the most famous tighlacers were demimonde and made publicity with it – and they didn’t tighlace that impossibly tight for more than short periods. It was so uncommon that it was newsworthy!
Also women even climbed mountains with a corset on, just like wearing a bra these days. And they did have more sporty skirts for walking in nature – shorter, less structure etc.
But I suspect sensory sensitivities might have had something to do with the origins of the “freedom” movement.
Love the belt! Well the whole outfit is great!
I think you added random creepy music that plays over when you are speaking by accident.
I love artistic dress and aestheic dress, it has so much… flair! The smocking, the embroidery, the interesting shapes – I love it all! Your pieces are lovely and the two blues paired with black is one of my favourite colour combinations.
I love the look of the under dress and love the idea of over dress like a nice smock or full coverage apron. Glad you’re getting a lot of use out of it!
