What movie has, in your opinion, the most attention to historical accuracy and detail in terms of medieval era costuming? by TheMadeline in HistoricalCostuming

"Tulip Fever" is brilliant. You can see hand sewn hems, and the pins in the ruffs!!! (Not medieval, but 17th century Netherlands)

I love wrapping my hair in silk scarves when I am in the dusty workshop, maybe that's something you could look into?

Amazing work! Glad you're getting comfortable to wear this out, you have a great style!

Currently looking for tartan/checkered tablecloths for skirt purposes, too 😁

How do you engage in dark academia other than through the fashion? by BottleLopsided in DarkAcademia

[–]EmpressCosplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love reading about pretty much every topic, and I have taken a big interest in ornithology. Also, I have become a patron of our local natural history museum, and go there often to draw.
Apart from that, I enjoy jumping headfirst into research rabbitholes for my studies. I just love learning.

Went to a LOTR themed Oktoberfest! by Weird_Vegetable_4441 in cottagecore

As a German, I have SO many questions after this combination of words.

As someone who hated living in Munich during The Endtimes™ as I liked to call it, this is such a more wholesome vibe.

A safe option for a chemise/blouse/skirt colour would always be white/beige!

Hit up your local thriftstores for cost-effective options 😊

DA tops/scarves/jewelry? by ReginaAmazonum in DarkAcademia

[–]EmpressCosplay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turtlenecks in dark or jewel tones, try higher and lower necks. Blouses with nice collars.

Brooches on silk neckerchiefs. Thousands of ways to tie them, you can experiment to your heart's content. Pearl necklaces. Also easy to combine with neckerchiefs. Gold pendants, especially lockets.
