- This quickly went off the rails in terms of being a crafty art project, but I still dig the results.
I referenced the following books about modern Gothic culture:
Gothic: Dark Gamour by Valerie Steele and Jennifer Park
Goth: The Design, Art, and Fashion of a Dark Subculture by Chris Roberts, Howell Livingstone, and Emma Baxter-Wright
And
The Art of Darkness: The History of Goth by John Robb
I have no words for how incredibly mind-blowing yet comforting this is. Like "coming home without realizing this is a home you can return to"
I am so in love with the way you combine historical shape language and construction with modern garments. It's super inspiring! Thank you for sharing your process and your thoughts!
The open ended curiosity in your videos makes them such fulfilling watches! Looking forward to enjoying this one.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
The effect of the pages under the organza is so cool, has so many different looks from different distances
This did feel like an art project, in the best possible way
Ha, sometimes you just gotta right? Thank you!!
really fascinating discussion of the roots of gothic culture and I absolutely adore the dress. Thank you for sharing! ♥
Oh I love how you tell stuff
It’s interesting how some pieces are so much better with an explanation of the intent behind the art (modern art usually works this way for me) and your gown is like that but is also nice to look at on its own. Thank you for this lesson on the gothic and the behind the scenes of your creation.
impressive singular work in this project
this whole project is genius! I love the explanation of your sewing philosophy and historical inspo as well!
Wow, that’s fashion show material right there
I went from punk to goth in the mid eighties. I loved exploring and enjoying how different it was from the mainstream. Now I'm called an elder goth.
Corporate goth is the clothing that one must wear in order to conform to dress codes. Its not a subculture. Many of us aren't considered goth because we look like everyone else. I'm a nerdy goth.
Your gown turned nicely and is unique. I like how you used old trimmings in its construction.
That’s interesting- I went to a lot of goth shows in the early 00s and it was always intriguing to see classmates really step up the goth styling when they were outside of school, probably similar to corporate goth.
@@anotherdreamgonewest these days I don't do makeup much. Most of my clothes are simple separates dyed in the same shade of black. That way I'm always in black, except if work doesn't allow it. These days younger ones seem to be know it also about goth and make a lot of claims as to what is goth and label those who don't fit their narrow vision as poseurs. One day they will want to get out of the minimum wage low pay rut and will have to follow work dress codes.
I'm temporarily disabled and working on walking again so that I can return to work. So I pick days when I'm out and about to do my makeup and dress a bit edgier. I ignore hecklers and well it did scare or spook my orthopedic surgeon. 😁
Happy Halloween 🎃👻
The paper is such a fun touch but i have to wonder how cleaning is gonna go
The use of the old book is such a cool idea - I love how you tied this all together!
I like the research you did and how the result is not at all obvious. the garment you created may be a little eccentric but certainly very wearable on many occasions. (but I'm from near Venice and maybe we have slightly different fashion habits, but I think it would get a lot of appreciation here)
I have that strange feeling where the more I try to explain myself, the worse what I say can be interpreted.
I love your creations and the devotion you put into them!
sorry my english sucks
Thank you! I think anything can be wearable, depending on the audacity of the wearer, right?? I can be pretty eccentric, haha. Thank you so much!!
The latin on the scroll on the painting in the book reads 'Ora pro (it's abbreviated) nobis beata Mag[cut off, but presumably a name]'. That's a common phrase in devotional art and imagery. It means 'pray for us o blessed [insert name of saint here]'. The saint depicted is Mary Magdalene, I think. She's typically depicted either carrying a jar or completely covered in hair, and this portrait gives you a bit of both with the Mary Magdalene in the front holding the jar and the one in the background covered in hair. The figure praying might be an image of the commissioner of the painting.
Your work is lovely as always! I especially appreciated the little joke in the facing.
Oooo I love the process of making this! The research, where you pulled inspiration and the thoughtfulness behind decaying pieces and the idea of "unfinished." really fun (and inspiring) watch!
Thank you! I really enjoyed making this- I want to take some of the ideas further 🧐. We’ll see!
They are stunning. Would you have any suggestions of how to best combine orange and blue or teal, blush, and silver or teal, blush and white?
I love how you blend styles between eras. It's truly inspiring to me. I usually keep to the confines of one era and even push some of the comfort and wearability into the unwearable historical realm. That's why your channel fascinates me because you go completely the other way.
Thank you! I think both directions have merit, I honestly love how some historical fashion is decadently impractical- it tells a wonderful, complex story of how humans have used personal adornment.
@@anotherdreamgonewest Oh definitely! I love the impractical as well. And I wish we could wear it the same way. Alas! Modern life is nowhere close to the fashionable ladies' lives in 1500-1900. So I make adjustments to that as much as possible :).
This is why I watch this channel 🖤
What an amazing sewing - History - creating- construction Journey. And I looooove the sleeves❤🖤. Thank you for sharing🥰
Thank you for watching ☺️
Another delightful creation, i love that you used pages of the Bram Stoker book for your appliqués. Glad i found your channel ❤
Aw thank you! Glad to have you!
How fun! So impressed with your "off the rails" outcome.
Ha, sometimes we just have to indulge the kid in us and be completely impractical. Thank you!
Seam binding is a lovely exterior design element.
Thank you! It did end up covering everything nicely 😁
Very interesting, as usual 😊
Your videos are so wonderful! I had no idea where this one was going and am so delighted by your end result!!
Ha- I also had no idea where it was going for a minute there! Thank you so much!
Super interesting video! The piece turned out beautiful. I was wondering however about those sources you say you'd put in the description? I cannot see them there, and I would love to have a look at some of them...
Oh gosh thank you for pointing that out! I got distracted as I was writing out the description and I forgot to put them in! I’ve fixed it, everything is there now!
Thanks again!!!!
Thanks for putting them in! @@anotherdreamgonewest
I loved hearing your design process for this piece
Thank you!!
Love it
I would wear this to Whitby in a heartbeat
Very pretty 😀
Fantastic video!!!!
Thank you!
I don't look healthy in black. But, I do own several black items. ❤❤❤
I go back and forth, but it is a comforting color for me 🤷🏻♀️
