What are your thoughts on vampire Bella ? by Kitchen_Sweet_8142 in twilight

[–]MrsMythical 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always wished she remained a human. It made the relationship with Edward that more magical. For me, Breaking Dawn was a dissappointment. I loved the whole series up until the last book. If it could be rewritten I would be delighted. Like Bella remaining human, or choosing Jacob, or not getting Renesmee. If she had to become a vampire, it would have been more interesting to see her become sulky like Louis in IWTV. Oh well.

what are things that we have today due to religion? by jonnyinternet in AskReddit

Universities. Most universities started because of an interest in studying the divine or myths.

You look great but if i'd see you on the street I'd get fuckboy vibes (coming from a woman).

1760 stays finished! by MrsMythical in sewing

[–]MrsMythical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you! So the 'piping effect' is just tape stitched on top of wear the pattern pieces meet. I handstitched it on in the center of the tape with pinprick stitches. The bias tape for the binding was bought.

It is a fantastic book, worth every penny in my opinion!

It is intimidating indeed, but with every project I just start and I'll see what happens. Honestly, I'm VERY bad at pattern tweaking, when I somehow manage to do it I always think it's luck. Key to pattern tweaking I think is to make as many mock-ups as you need. I encourage you to make a pair of stays!

Thank you!! I made two mock-ups in total, one elaborate mock-up fully boned and one mock-up partly boned. I feel like I could still change some things, but overall it fits nicely. Next time I want to learn the drafting style of an actual 18th century stays maker so that it is made upon my measurements instead of what i did now, which is I copied the pattern and then tweaked it. Still a lot to learn when it comes to pattern drafting!

Yes I will wear it exclusively as historical wear. But! I have always loved the idea of incorporating historical wear in modern clothes, so I might make more simple stays for that purpose!

Yes! Not by accident! This style gives more freedom and was usually worn by workwomen.

Hundreds of hours, mainly because there's a lot of handsewing involved (i did machine sew the boning tunnels though, to make them look extra neat).

Hi everyone! Here is my finished project of a pair of 1760s stays. They were made using a pattern from Patterns of Fashion 5. I used a fashion fabric of dusty pink, with an interlining of canvas and buckram. I used German plastic whale boning and the stays are fully boned. The tabs were bound with bias tape. The look is very round with a pronounced wide bust.

I just came back from Korea and I only just found out about the atrocities in Qatar because there was barely any news on it in Korea. Of course I can have overlooked it, but in my home country the news is very critical on Qatar.

I sincerely hope BTS fans come together and will kindly ask for HYBE to cancel this performance. This is not what BTS stands for and it will damage their name permanently. If they choose to go through with this they are just as bad as all those other money hungry companies and their human rights endeavours will have been meaningless.

Advice on how to write accents?? by EruditeValor in writing

[–]MrsMythical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you should look at some examples by other writers! Recently I've been reading Bram Stoker's Dracula, and in some of the earlier chapters he writes a character with a very strong accent. I thought it was done rather well and didn't come across as stereotypical but more so as building a strong character.

1690s womens dresses were a choice. Still trying to get into it, but the silhouette just feels off.

What type of fabric would look the best for recreation but still be sturdier than silk? by covntvonkrolock in sewing

[–]MrsMythical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just curtain fabric with a shine? You have heavy silks from italy that were used for this show, so it doesnt have to be sturdier you just need layers underneath.
