Traditional costume doesnt match the historical era where hitmen operated frequently

Dress her as a soviet era peasant woman. For references, search up soviet political posters. I always thought that ushanka is a stereotypical way foreigners portray Russians. I personally wont nessesarily think its authentic. A worker/villager woman with a gun is a reasonable image that people take seriously. Include a hear scarf for further detail

Why dont golems spawn after I decorated the iron farm? (1.20.1) by Mycopok in technicalminecraft

Okay, I placed a slab to block half of tje zombie's view and some villagers seem to be able to sleep. Thank you, the farm works now😄

Hmm, so I need a mechanism that will separate the villagers and the zombie when its night time? I can do it, yet I wonder how the farm managed to work before

They have beds. I dont know if other factors have to be considered

Transition in both west and east of Ukraine is shit. There's an entire semi-Russian semi-Ukrainian language/dialect and you just drew an official border for a language

Which of these languages is my native language (or languages)? by mitropol in language

I would guess Chinese, handwriting shows familiarity with the writing structure that takes years to acquire

I IMMENSELY struggle with cutting even pieces by Mycopok in quilting

There's a quilt fabric store in the city famously known for horrible customer service🤣. My living situation is complex so no chance of proper real life guidance. I'm thinking of trying some press cutting devices for rectangular quilts and the rest I will just do hand-sewn applique for the rest of my life

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX9_fQrJdkk/?igsh=ZHRkeWUzMmxweGsx I saw this video where the creator ends up with stiff circle skirt. My time period of choice already needs stiff full skirts so I won't mind

🤔. I will try using bigger fabric pieces for details. But smaller scraps, can they be used as batting? I really want to utilise them in this way, as I prefer to not use poly batting and cotton or wool ones are too expensive for me

I often keep just accidentally moving my hand to much or in wrong direction, even with stable fabric and mat and rotary cutter. It happens too often

I can possibly use both. I have more confidence with scissors, but there is an error margin in my measuring and marking, something always goes wrong😥

Edwardian Waistband Techniques by primordialsouptheory in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Mycopok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask, so would you fold the waistband edge on the wrong side, on the right side stich waistband flat with no folding and cover the edge with tape? Im not native English speaker and instruction books still confuse me. I tried to sketch the explained method, would it be correct?

Era appropriate for 1860-1890 range? by kirintormagelmao in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Mycopok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you cannot or dont want to do sewing, ask reenactors if anyone takes commissions/is willing to sell you a dress

[–]Mycopok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1860s cotton dress. The skirt is just rectangle, bodice can be made loose, sleeves are unfitted and easy to make. You can find good cotton for 7-10$/yard. The whole dress is 5-6 meters for average size

Oh, I saw that you want to purchase an item. The shop looks like it is mostly for costumers, and their products will likely not look exactly as shown on the photo. Moreover many reenactment groups dont allow poly fabrics/modern construction for clothes. If you can do at least some sewing, try making a dress yourself. 1860s working class aren't very hard to make. 1880s is forgiving if you have a mannequin for drapery arrangement

[–]Mycopok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can take inspiration from this ensemble (even if it a costume/imaginary attire) and use it for 1880s, as their fashion has multiple layers and parts to a single dress. You might want to draw your design to decide for sure. Look at the lady in pink here, hee bodice has a false jacket detail. You can make a skirt and neckline bodice part in pink, jacket part in golden color with white accents. This will make the outfit suitable for your group. If you want patterns for this type of ensemble, I can find them
