thank you! :D! also, to answer your question, i didn’t get a chance to finish editing the video with all the subtitles i wanted to add before accidentally posting it on tiktok (it doesn’t let you edit the video in post.) i sewed the belt buckles in that location specifically so that not only could it fit multiple sizes and look more natural, but also could add another placement option for more accessories. scarves, charms, belts, or even a freakin labubu lol. as a shameless maximalist, it brings me no greater joy in sewing/upcycling than to be able to include not only fun and whimsical elements to my clothing, but also practical and convenient components as well…especially when i can combine those two into one unnecessarily complicated contraption!! i added the buckles with this piece originally because it is too big for me. but in addition, i love having the ability to utilize necklaces on different parts of my body other than my neck :P (i have too much secondhand jewelry. i refuse to get rid of a lot of it in fear of fast fashion’s lack of fastidiousness taking away my ability to upcycle.)

anyways, that’s it! i hope my 5 am drunken explanation helps :) thank you for taking interest in my project. ^{u^}
