Custom fantasy- and history-inspired clothing commissions

Do you wish you looked like a little woodland creature that delivers mail to forest denizens? Or a louche 18th-century dandy? Or some type of wizard's apprentice? Well then you're in luck! For the first time in YEARS I am opening to sewing commissions and my absolute favourite thing is to help people live their hobbitty dreams.

What I do:

Anything!

Well... okay. Most things. I'm particularly good at gender-affirming historical clothing, nontraditional wedding/celebration attire, and historybounding or fantasy inspired outfits. I mostly make clothing for everyday wear, but I'm also happy to work on cosplays.

I especially like to make poet shirts/pirate shirts (call them what you like, it's the Mr. Darcy shirt) as well as capes and cloaks of all stripes. But like I said, I'm open to most things. I like to collaborate—so come to me with an idea or some inspiration characters, and we'll talk. I also love vests.

One type of project I particularly love is making unique wedding attire. I'm not your best choice for white dresses or tuxedos, but if you want something really unique (or especially something fantasy-inspired) for your wedding, show me your Pinterest board! Below are some photos of me and my wife in the gowns I made, but I'm super interested in making things that aren't dresses as well, like decorative waistcoats or very dramatic wedding capes. Please note that for fitted bodices, we'll need to coordinate some type of fitting, either in-person or by mail.

How much it costs:

You tell me! Instead of having fixed prices, I want to hear what you can afford and then adjust what I make to get to that. I'm very transparent with my pricing: I need you to cover the cost of materials, shipping, and a reasonable hourly rate for my labour.

Realistically, a garment made from scratch isn't going to be comparable to the low costs you'll see for fast fashion; and the more frills you want (hand stitched lacing holes, trim, fully hidden seams, very specific tailoring, etc.) the more it's going to cost. So come to me with your budget and we'll talk from there!

How to reach me:

You can always send me a message on tumblr, but the best way to reach me is through my email: arielle.marina.d@gmail.com

And if you like my work but aren't interested in having something made yourself, please reblog or share with your friends to spread the word!

So I need to do a final assignment in any topic I want for my art history class, I decided to do it about the military propaganda in movies (needs to be related to art) like top gun and others, (disclaimer, I haven't watched any one of this films, yet, 'cause I don't enjoy cine about war but military propaganda is super funny, end of disclaimer), and holy shit, this is super wild, like the Americans have a lot of propaganda films? My country, Spain, comes from a military dictatorship but we couldn't talk about the hardships of war and things like that, it was a very taboo topic, now a day's not so much, except with elderly people, but like I had to go to films from Franco's time to find a film that didn't mock them, this doesn't mean we don't have, lately we've been having more, but I don't know, I just find it interesting.

Proof of my work, is in Spanish and not the final title.

i love the crochet girlies that make free patterns esp video tutorials i cant wait to make mini moo dengs for my friends

Summer is here already?!

Most of April consisted of :-

a) crying about global warming and heatwaves

b) frustration because the heat is stopping me from doing anything productive

c) being at the peak of productivity and completing all the assignments

d) being burnt out and not being able to do anything for the rest of the month

e) taking small trips and recovering from tiredness while also falling ill due to heat

honestly, it’s supposed to be spring right now! and it feels like summer near the equators.

I took a small trip to the hill yesterday, perks of living by the cost and the hills i suppose? it really helped me with me being burnt out but hey we all need break sometimes!

I hope to be more productive from now on. Plus this week consist of tests everyday! Hopefully I survive this month and the next.

This is the first and last time I'm going to talk about this, so listen, I'm not going to talk about anything concerning political reasons, except the Dana in Valencia because I needed to help spread the information for all the Spanish people I could, is it selfish, probably, do I give a fuck, no, it's my blog and I'm going to talk about whatever makes me confortable, the point of this is for people stop sending me gaza and other catastrophe related asks, I'm not going to answer them, they make me uncomfortable because I can't donate to go fund me, I help in other ways, like in campaigns of food/clothes... Where I actually donate the things they ask for. It's good that we help each other, but I'm centering in my country and my mental health, because that is also important.

And remember, it's your blog, talk about whatever you are comfortable without having to take any side, your ideals and your online persona doesn't have to be on display 24/7.

And for the people that might tell me that in with Israel or Rusia no I'm not, I'm with Palestine and Ukraine, I just hate talking about wars and the climax of insecurities is causing, I already talk a lot about it in my real life that I don't want my online persona to also be dominated by it.

This! This is actually so important and we often overlook it and puss ourselves over our limits, which isn't bad overall, but dumb if we aren't careful

Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary. Take the time to prioritize your well-being.
