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!

Day 9/30

I don't really know what to write in this post, so I'm just saying that this is a drawing of the picture taken by Richard Avedon of Marilyn Monroe and that I have to do it in English weave(?, in Spanish is called, "trama paralela o trama inglesa".

Tell me you are fucked with out telling it, I'm starting, I have to make a 10.000 word easy for tomorrow and I only got a little bit over the middle of the essay, I say middle because Google docs does not count the notes you make, so that makes it's roughly 5.000 words. And tomorrow I have to work so I'm probably going to end up like today, working my ass off because I thought I could do it in a week.

Welp, you need to learn in some way. The good thing is that my essay is heavily influenced by photos, so it's going to be easier to instead of doing 10.000 words do like 7.000 and call it a day.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

Being in college is always either,

Oh boy I love learning! This class is so interesting!

Or

I can't wait for class to be over (it hasn't started yet)

one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.

5/30 Productivity day

This is one is for introduction to color, which is my favorite class. I'm this exercise we need to copy a drawing and colour it in the warm and cold colors, which is unexpectedly hard, because this drawing has both, when I finish this assignment I'll post it all together.

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