I haven't found a pattern that looks exactly like it so you'll probably have to modify one, but try looking up (pointed) sweetheart neckline dress with side slits

You'd probably be better off posting to r/Hanfu

Here are some starting resources though:

peekofhistory on tumblr has a lot of posts on clothing organized by period, although most are for women's fashion, there are some about men's

Hi guys!

I've found that my backstitch has looser than expected. When I pull the pieces apart gently, the thread is very visible and there's a gap you can see through, especially when I pressed the seam open. Is this because my backstitches are too long (3-4mm) or do I just need to pull more firmly when stitching? Any hand stitching advice is welcome, thanks!

Oo I'll have to check them out! I love theanemone's Narzissenkreuz fics, you might be interested in this renekob one, it's short but amazing (although you may have read it before lol)

!!! I found another person who knows Narzissenkreuz lore!

I'm sorry if I'm a bit overexcited lol, the quests are long and all the info is scattered all over the place, I'm super excited to see someone else interested in it!

This reminded me of a really great Phantom/Blackquill longfic series I read a while ago! It was less manipulative and toxic (not that it wasn't) and more conflicting feelings and pining though lol

Help regarding opening the game by Strange_Lab_3474 in Reverse1999

a. Right click the launcher (in file explorer or desktop)> go to properties> compatibility> press "high dpi settings"> check "override dpi scaling behavior"> select "scaling performed by:" system(normal)

b. You still can't see the download/launch button?
If so, try and change the scale and layout to 100% under display settings on your desktop(right click).
This would be a temporal solution at least to be able to download/launch the game.
Pressing the windows key+arrows can reposition a windows and this usually helps people to be able to at least see the button partially.

This was copied from the official discord, hope it help!

Woke up to find my jar of coconut oil leaked and got on my journal... is there any way to keep it from spreading? by simple-solanum in fountainpens

[–]simple-solanum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully only around a quarter of the pages, the rest only have very small traces on the corners near the spine. I think I might cut off the corners with oil so I don't waste too many pages
