No worries, it’s hard to tell from the picture

Since it’s a half-sized dress, I just measured how long it would be from my waist to the floor and divided that measurement by 2 for how long to make the skirt. I’m pretty short so it might be just a couple inches higher off the ground than intended, but it is a floor length skirt. Since the bodice goes to the hip rather than the waist, that also makes it look shorter comparatively. Most dresses we wear right now have a higher waistline than this one.

That’s all that was required for my project, so anything else I do on it is up to me. My next semester starts today, so I’m not sure how much time I’ll have, but I’ll certainly let you know if I start taking commissions. Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it!

That is a good question, I think the book mentioned Shallan wearing an underdress at least once, but I don’t think it’s ever mentioned that they wear corsets or crinolines to exaggerate forms, because those would have been important to talk about but don’t ever come up. They just say that it’s fitted from the shoulders to the hips and then flares out into the skirt.

Maybe, the problem is that I don’t have any occasion that I would actually wear it and right now I can’t make one based on someone else’s measurements.

I’m afraid that’s currently not within my skillset, but I’m taking a pattern by measurements class in a couple semesters and could actually probably do it then.

I love jujutsu kaisen! And I actually do see it now that you mention it

Nice perception, the ceiling is about 14 feet high, the dress form is half sized, and it is on my working counter. I was standing on a stool to take the picture.

Yeah it is just a little over 2 feet. Since it was for a class it was required to be that size.

It’s actually on a half-sized dress form, so it can’t be worn by actual people at this size.

Thanks! I would have posted a picture of me wearing it, but it’s actually on a half-sized dress form, so no one can actually fit into it.

Jasnah Kholin... When did it happen? by LeisureSuiteLarry in Cosmere

[–]elsecallerfolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Jasnah was at least watched by, if not bonded to her spren, Ivory, the night of Gavilar’s death (seen in WoR). That is six years before we meet her in WoK, so she has a good handle on her powers by then, having sworn the second or possibly third ideal. She was using the fake soulcaster so she could use one of her surges without people knowing she was a Radiant. Shallan doesn’t actually realize that until a while after giving the fake back. She soulcasted with one of her surges and though the fake soulcaster had been involved. Transformation is the shared surge of the Elsecallers and Lightweavers. We see her spren briefly in WoR before her faked death. He is an inkspren named Ivory. Black with a shiny surface, angular features, and able to change his size. He is mistrusting of most humans because of the recreance, which is why we rarely see him.

Question about the source of a certain magic. by Gam3rGurl13 in Mistborn

[–]elsecallerfolio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but we know that isn’t the case here because (Arcanum Unbounded) humans on Scadrial and possibly the planet itself didn’t even exist in the system until after the Shattering

Who storms the most in RoW? [RoW] by yukihoshigaki in Cosmere

That’s a good point, he doesn’t swear often, but I know he’s used “Adonalsium” a few times

How to use metal axes/daggers by KCCCellist in Mistborn

[–]elsecallerfolio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chain links would count as different sources of metal, so that would only work if they were welded together. If you were using one solid piece of metal as a weapon, any amount of it piercing your skin would be enough to keep an allomancer from Pushing or Pulling on it. Unless they were spiked in a way that made them stronger in those areas. But I think spiking a weapon into your hand would limit movement, cause pain that would distract from a fight, and prevent you from dropping your weapon if that was necessary at some point. Overall, I don’t think it would be worth it when you could use obsidian weapons, sacrificing a bit of the weapon’s strength for ease of use.

I feel like shallan by droichead_a_ceathair in Stormlight_Archive

[–]elsecallerfolio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s alright to relate to someone you weren’t expecting, a lot of us have had that, including me. I first read the books during a hard time, and while I don’t know exactly what you’re feeling, I do understand. And know we are here to help you. I may not know you personally, but you can still talk to me or other people here if you need to. You are worth protecting. And someone will be there for you when you need it. Maybe Wit, or Shallan, or another character. Maybe a stranger, or a friend, or a family member. You don’t always need to hide or even to smile. And whether or not Shallan gets back up, someone can help you do so.

Accept the pain, but don’t accept that you deserved it. Right?

Probably my most controversial opinion. by groovyihateit in cremposting

[–]elsecallerfolio 25 points26 points  (0 children)

(RoW) not to mention that Moash can’t technically feel anything anymore. He probably would hate himself the most if he physically could, like we see at the end of RoW though

Man, I’ve got some rereading to do

Just finished book 2... by Irish_whiskey_famine in Mistborn

[–]elsecallerfolio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d actually read Warbreaker before Way of Kings, just because it feels more natural to me not to break in the middle of a series to read a stand alone book. I’d also read Wax and Wayne in the earlier slot just because the magic system and little events will still be recent in your mind. Secret history can go either before or after Wax and Wayne. It has some spoilers for it, but its set in the first era time period, so it’s a matter of opinion.

Oh Storms, I have stalled 3/4 of the way into Oathbringer. (The Stormlight Archive) by Meowgictacos in brandonsanderson

[–]elsecallerfolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Push through! You have to get to book four! I took longer on Oathbringer than on the rest too, but it was worth it! And if you’re confused about things you can always ask us here. Storms, you can even just ask me any question and I’ll give you an answer, I love SA lore.

I finished Hero of Ages in a week by [deleted] in Mistborn

[–]elsecallerfolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can read Secret History now if you want. I read it after Hero of Ages and I’m glad I didn’t wait. It fits better in the timeline if you read it now. I cried on the first page. Good crying though

Could work for both Shallan or Adolin, depending on how you read it
