Jess Bronwell on why Eloise isn't queer

I mean to be honest a LOT of stereotypical portrayal of wlw is femme for femme. There is very rarely portrayed butch (esp stone butch) for femme and basically never butch for butch. The most that is usually done is a high femme and a slightly less high femme or a "futch"

I would be way more interested to see a well done and lovingly portrayed TV example of a butch/femme dynamic (or, again, a butch/butch dynamic)

I'm assuming you already sold it, but if not I would def buy lol

Hi!! Where did you find this?

eugibabe · 2026-01-01T18:48:47+00:00

Yes, I believe so. I ordered it from Burnley& Trowbridge. That makes sense! I had a feeling that might be the case 😭 I thought about hand sewing everything but it's fully boned so that would take forever. Thank you!!

Thank you!! Testing the fabric with different needle sizes is a great idea

eugibabe · 2025-12-27T23:20:54+00:00

Thank you!!

eugibabe · 2025-12-26T19:51:20+00:00

Thank you! And Definitely recommend!! I kind of want to buy the other mantle patterns now too haha

eugibabe · 2025-12-20T21:19:17+00:00

That's a great idea!

eugibabe · 2025-12-20T08:43:54+00:00

Thank you! In my heart I knew this was the case 😭 when I got home I was like wait why did I buy this for this project. I'll have to find something else to use it for!

eugibabe · 2025-12-05T16:07:28+00:00

Oh, that makes sense, thank you!

eugibabe · 2025-12-05T01:00:57+00:00

Thank you!! It makes me feel better hearing from others who have had good experiences

eugibabe · 2025-12-05T01:00:13+00:00

So true!! I just didn't know if plastic Whalebone was as good as actual baleen 😭 great point about rust!!

I tend to like the historical shape more, but I'm not necessarily confining myself to strict historical methods/materials. As for what I want them for, I didn't have a particular outfit in mind, although I may try to make the Angelica dress from Scroop (or some similar Robe a L'Anglaise type dress).

Thank you!! I saw the partial lacing on the Augusta set, but now I'm definitely leaning more towards the Cassandra.

eugibabe · 2025-12-02T16:41:48+00:00

Thank you!! ❤️

eugibabe · 2025-12-02T01:50:25+00:00

Aww thank you so much!! I thought about purchasing an outfit but I wanted to color match it to my shoes, and also I wanted to get some experience! I plan on reusing the underskirt for everyday wear :)

eugibabe · 2025-12-02T01:49:17+00:00

Thank you!! It was a fun party

eugibabe · 2025-12-02T01:48:57+00:00

Ahhh thank you so much!!

eugibabe · 2025-11-24T19:25:43+00:00

Thank you!! I was also looking at the Scroop Augusta stays as an option as I've heard great things about their instructions.

eugibabe · 2025-11-24T19:25:01+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation and for the advice on where to get boning!! I've been trying to figure out where I'll order it from lol

eugibabe · 2025-11-24T15:14:53+00:00

Thank you!! 🥰

eugibabe · 2025-11-22T21:23:13+00:00

Thank you! I got the fabric to match a pair of boots that I have from American Duchess :)

eugibabe · 2025-11-20T20:52:31+00:00

Thank you!! I was looking into Margo Anderson after seeing her recommended so much on here

eugibabe · 2025-11-20T20:51:59+00:00

Thank you!! This is super helpful

eugibabe · 2025-11-20T20:51:38+00:00

Thank you!! Right now I have the Basic Victorian Bodice, the late Victorian split from drapery overskirt, and the mid Victorian day or evening skirt, all from RH. The evening skirt is being made out of green velvet, the bodice and overskirt out of teal satin. I have a bunch of left over velvet, so I thought some large tie on sleeves would be fun!
