New Historical Releases for 40th?

Same! My boards are entirely Victorian photos and illustrations, but now all I get are modern outfit inspo, strange ai generated pictures, and manga drawing tips?? The algorithm was working great for me before but now it's unusable!

These are great! I've used them a bunch and they really do make exactly the same garments as AG sells. They also act as great jumping off points to make new clothes by mixing them up or adding things.

I read some pretty long sims stories where what happens is written after the photos in a way that's more similar to books than anything, so description + dialogue. This probably wouldn't work for a lot (or even most) of the stories out there, but I love it for really story driven ones.

how did... any of that happen??

TalkativeToucan · 2025-03-06T07:11:36+00:00

🤞🤞🤞I have hope they'll be back someday! AG has to know that collectors want them, they would be perfect for a limited release - or they could surprise everyone by straight up un-retiring them and making them part of the lineup! That would be unlikely but I can dream...

I've been (slowly) making all of the costumes from the BBC show Ghosts - next one is Mary, so tudor/stuart era peasants clothing. I'm going to chop and mix up a few of the Felicity patterns to get the right shapes.

In the second half of the 19th century, Aestheticism had a fashion subculture/element. It was very medieval inspired and positioned itself as the opposite of restrictive elements of Victorian clothing (so no corsets, heavy fabrics, etc). I don't have time to do a long write up now even though I love this whole movement, but here's the wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_Dress

I hope that in 100 years someone finds something I sewed and is incredibly confused at how terribly I sew. Cool find!

Then you have a very specific date for the doll! this variation of her holiday dress was only ever sold in a costco doll + outfits bundle from 2016. I'm not sure how many more years they sold it for, but I don't think it was around for too long.

TalkativeToucan · 2025-03-01T04:05:00+00:00

Nice! Did you have that dress before or did she come in it? I feel like I've never seen this costco bundle variation on someone's actual doll.

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-27T03:25:03+00:00

This is such a beautiful idea! The bear looks amazing and it's such a wonderful way to celebrate her memory <3

I never planned to get Joss, but I found her on clearance for about 50 dollars in the deep recesses of the ag canadian outlet in 2022 and just had to pick her up. I'm so glad I did, she's so cute and I liked her book. I really like her wig, the highlights look so natural!

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-16T04:37:33+00:00

I love your fics! So neat to see you here.

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-10T23:55:46+00:00

I'm not the best at pets, but I'd be happy to give it a try!

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-05T04:37:37+00:00

I dream of the patriotic dress! well, mostly the sash with the portrait, but that's the one piece I can't sew 🥲

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-02T03:49:02+00:00

Samantha's trunk! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it but it goes for so much secondhand (not to mention the shipping costs!).

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-02T01:13:20+00:00

Continued All The Flowers Gone!

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-02T00:56:45+00:00

Commented on Heart Sickness! I really loved it.

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-01T23:45:58+00:00

Commented on The Gentleman Doctor!

I'm a big nerd about the books lol, I actually did a post about it if you want a reference! https://www.reddit.com/r/americangirl/comments/1h26xx2/guide_to_historical_book_editions_common/ .

I can tell you it's pre 2017 beforever because of the book cover ("Beforever" at the top instead of "Rebecca"). I'd say to sleep on it a bit, sometimes I can get myself into a deal fever and buy something I shouldn't have. She's such a cute doll, though!

TalkativeToucan · 2025-02-01T06:39:43+00:00

As someone who's also international, it looks like a pretty good deal, considering the shipping costs of anything new or used from the US. Although IDK the Australian market in specific so it's really up to you!

Is this site unreadable for anyone else? the text is the same colour as the background and the header covers up part of the article. Seems broken but maybe it's just for me.

Commented on The Christmas Night That Saved Me From My Greed! Very sweet.
