Confirmed for never reading historical documentf, creative fpelling is everywhere.

Anon, I adore you.

I’ve become obsessed with Bernadette Banner’s YouTube channel lately. The vintage/historical fashion styles are so appealing to me. Are there any other youtubers who have videos like hers?

>>10136282
good one, ol chap

>>10136257
Most people do not wear historical costumes as everyday wear because it is not practical, even more so than lolita. People typically go to special events to wear them, or host private parties.

>>10136360
I was going to bring her up! She does historically inspired fashion that is more practical to wear while still retaining a historical influence.

You really can't get away with full rococo dress every day (due more than anything to the sheer impracticality), but I feel like you CAN get away with outfits that are very heavily inspired. And I mean very heavily. I know she's something of a meme at this point but some of Vicore's Rococo stuff was in the right direction, or Lizchen R's as well.

I’ve been getting into historical costuming lately. I’ve been sewing for a while and I when I stopped finding lolita fun and challenging it seemed like a logical next step. I have made a few 18th century gowns, and just finished my first Victorian outfit last week. You definitely need to really hunt to find events to wear them to.

That said they are a special magic all their own to have all the right bits and pieces. You just feel so beautiful and put together.

I feel like anything inspired by gaulle dresses or English style gowns is a lot more practical--well practical in the sense that we're on /cgl/ not necessarily for people who aren't into those styles--for sure.

Plugging @chezmadameaugustine, she's local to my area so I see her at every con and her work is super cute

>>10136412
Those are pretty. Any reviews on the quality though?

>>10136360
Meme Edwardian Lady or whatever her name is

Karolina Zebrowska

She's not as funny as she likes to think she is but her educational stuff is interesting.

>>10136412
Thanks for posting her anonette, her work is very inspiring! I want to make a lolita outfit based on XVIII century style and this comes just at the right time

Are there any shops that offer decent chemise a la reine dresses? The ones I've seen on etsy and such are more or less legitimate chemises and not the actual gown style

>>10136369
Real talk even back then I don’t think they wore that ott shit every day either

>>10136384
I love this style for lolita dresses

>>10136804
Source on that one? I love the material!

>>10136781
Oh not that particular image, no, those are inspired by 18th century ballet costumes. But even more casual 18th century gowns aren't practical for a lot of modern activities.

Would a thread like this get more traction in /fa/?
Of course, there’s also the vintage lolita substyle, which might garner more traction on here.

>>10138325
Definitely not. /fa/ would send you back here

>>10138325
Most cosplayers here aren't making rococo costumes and neither are lolitas. There are certainly rococo inspired coords but everything here except that has mostly been literal historical fashion.

>>10138325
Nope! we've had threads like this before! Sometimes the larp boys will come over and give their insights too. It's a good topic.

I built a pair of stays about a month ago with their help. I never posted the finished result though before it.... still isn't finished.

Anyone interested? Planning on scanning some pages before i have to return it
Lots of high fashion interpretations of french roccoco clothing

>>10138549
I'm interested!

Thanks for the mini dump anon! Do you have any more scans?

>>10138582
I'm scanning all the pictures i find interesting at once, to put creators, collections and model names in the filename. Also this thread made me eventually find a solution to fix my scanner driver

Thanks anon! I really appreciate it. Also, congrats on fixing your scanner lol

Are there any good wig tutorials for achieving this hair style?

>>10138549
I love this book and publisher.

might help!

Also American Duchess is coming out with a book. I have their dress book and like it so I'll probably pick this up too.

>tfw you will never be part of the mid century decadent nobility and their parties

>>10138796
I just need to make a few more friends who are into dressing vintage with me.
It'll be way more decadent, and a lot less incesty

Looks like she rejected that suitor so he just dropped his flowers and is walking away in shame. I love it.

>>10139790
I guess he was just unsuitable

That's literally what the scene is supposed to be. It's a painting by Edmund Blair Leighton called "Off", as in the marriage is off.

Here's another painting by him that's relevant – he actually did a whole bunch of Regency era ones, although that's not technically Rocco.

>>10138549
this is a book?

>>10141000
It sure is

bump for more Rocco
