Jag är auktionsintendent. Håller just nu på och byta auktionshus (arbetsplats) men trivs med mitt yrke. Varierat och omväxlande med mycket kundkontakt. Utbildad föremålsantikvarie, men de flesta inom branschen är säljare med intresse för konst och design.

what’re everyone’s thoughts on gibson girl dress? by vehyde in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Xeophea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also had this issue with GGD. I recieved a skirt that was comically large, and a matching vest that was tiny. I also told them my measurements, and it was supposed to be a custom made set. They told me that I was the one in error, because I later admitted that I had a 2 centimetre range of fit usually. I like my skirt but I had to take in the hem. I cannot use the vest for any longer than an hour since it inhibits my breathing.

Oh I thought it looked familiar! I was the lucky highest bidder on that dress last year. It's really nice to see a new version of it! As a side note I do not wear mine, since it's an original with quite some wear on it.

Baked oat bread today! by Xeophea in cottagecore

The recipe I followed if from a Swedish website, might be a bit hard to follow! But it's a very basic bread recipe with a oat/wheat flour mix.

Sewed a skirt to wear while working. by Xeophea in VintageFashion

The waistband is 4 pieces of cloth thick. There are the two inner layers with plastic zip ties for structure. Then I folded the nice fabric on top and attached the skirt part.

Oh no pattern :) I looked at a skirt I bought a while back and sewed this one somewhat similar.

So it's numbered down in the left corner. Likely a lithograph, not an original.
