The day I walked into a fashion store and they wanted to charge me $200 for a white cotton shirt was the day I went to my grandmother and asked her to teach me to sew...and god bless her, she shone with joy and was my inspiration ... and so was the love of linen shirts that has never changed. I wear the minimum amount of synthetic I can get away with because Australia = Hot and fashionable I have never been. Comfort is my aim. Polyester is the devils skin and should be destroyed or repurposed. I'm sure it's good for ... something?

Poor Marie Antoinette was damned if she did and damned if she didn't. It was traditional to blame the foreign spouse of the monarch as the source of all bad things (think Margaret of Anjou, Prince Albert, etc.), and Marie Antoinette was not politically savvy and did not know how to counter this. She certainly wasn't evil. And yes, polyester is the devil. (But not a 21st century invention.) But rayon can be wonderful: it is a manufactured fabric made of regenerated cellulose fibers from wood pulp. Of course, there is both good rayon and not-so-good rayon, and the process of making it can expose workers to dangerous chemicals if it is not carefully done. I prefer silk, of course, but cannot afford it most of the time.

@bridgetthewench 5 лет назад

subtropic lurker busting in- cotton is good if you're in a semi-arid climate where breathability is required for comfort. However, if you are from the tropics or subtropic you know very well that cotton absorbs a lot of water. Linen is much more better (lol grammar) in terms of breathability and summer wear. However, if you're in new york it should be fine.

Because everything is self taught for me when it comes to fashion and costume design (which is my career choice) I have been taking notes of fiber content more. At my last trip to joanns, I was trying to purchase a linen I could afford, I came upon a startling realization. Almost every fabric's fiber content was polyester! I am wee 17 year still discovering how the world works and seeing that really startled me. I pointed it out to my mom and she just nodded her head. She works in retail and knows this already because of the clothes she sells. But I still can't help but feel flabbergasted! 😨

After I had read all that interested me in our small school library, the librarian would get books for me from the upper school. One of the first, and the first biography I fell in love with, was about Vigee le Brun. It was un-illustrated . The next time I was in the library, the wonderful librarian surprised me by having a book of paintings of Marie Antoinette by V le B.

"Just because something is a new technological development doesn't mean that it's better" ME every day! I absolutely adore this project! I have been making my own "modern" chemises for like two years and LOVE the chemise gown and really want to make one with a bodice like yours. I usually do blue sashes but ahhhh I love it with a red sash too! Usually I keep the sleeves the same because I love puffs and just shorten the skirt but I like the short sleeves and long skirt too 😍 historically inspired clothes (esp 18th century) are my jam...

OOOOooooo.....I absolutely love the idea of a more modern version of this dress! I loved when English Heritage (I believe) historically recreated the Marie Antoinette portrait version in their "Stitch In Time" series, however; it had an abundance of poofy sleeves! I would think they could get quite in the way whilst one is picking flowers & such things (although they may be useful if you forgot your basket & went to pick apples 😉). I am eager to see how this takes shape & thoroughly intrigued as to what on earth @costumingdrama will be using a length of burgundy/wine "wooly worm" trim for! 🤔 Explain thyself Noelle! Beautiful drawing as usual Bernadette. I believe it is extremely belated that I join your Patreon & that I get myself to thine Etsy Shop to pick up past renderings which may still be available!! 🤗💜🦋
