    Thanks Bright Cellars for sponsoring this video and for the
    limited-time offer! Take the quiz brightcellars.com/prickly and comment your matches.
    I checked to see if there were any audio issues with this video and I think I fixed the panning issue my videos have been having, but let me know if y'all have any issues!

    It's giving "Santa's girlboss niece" vibes, on a tasteful level. Also, short queens unite! 👑

    The purple pockets help diffuse the Santa vibes quite a bit. As always, it's cool to see you style your creations for different aesthetics and occasions!
    Also, this video's sponsor makes me think that you're endorsing the comment section's bonkers drinking game rules. Full speed ahead (actually please drink responsibly, though)!

    I *know* Kira is in her twenties, but I admit that when she introduced her sponsor, I went, "wait, she's old enough to drink??" which probably says a lot more about my own age than hers, alas...

    Sooo cute!!!! personally I'm getting more "pagan trickster" than "Santa Claus" in the end, hope that was more of the intended vibe

    As an elder millenial who had one of these amazing faux fur trimmed coats in the early 00s, this warms my heart and frustrates me to no end because why, oh, why did I get rid of it in the 2010s...

    Without the fur trim, it's giving Bilbo's dinner coat (and also Stede's dressing gown). I love that you decided to do patchwork lining! While you were going through your lining options, I was literally thinking, "Do a patchwork lining!" TBH with the mismatched sleeves, it looks more medieval revival, rather than christmassy--especially with the 2nd and 3rd looks!

  • @Misspupperz
    @Misspupperz Рік тому +32

    Kira, I think my favorite thing about your videos is how excited you’ve been for each eclectic idea and workshopping solutions. The joy is clearly reflected in the finished product, both in terms of the physical item and in the video! I loved the style session at the end, even though I know that must have taken extra editing time, but seeing your maximalist coming out full force is always amazing. Please keep just doing whatever catches your fancy, we’re along for the ride wherever it takes you!

    It has autumnal vibes, but it isn’t 100% giving Santa. I actually really love it.

  • @claracatlady9844
    @claracatlady9844 Рік тому +50

    This coat is such a vibe. Like a nostalgic 90s wizard/warlock.
    Some sewing tips no one asked for:
    - when you are making something structured from a thick/heavy fabric then you should *ease your sleeves* to create room for your shoulder and shoulders blades. Look it up it’s too long to explain but I promise it’s not hard but very much helps with fit.
    - I would invest the time into creating a flat pattern block for yourself. It makes pattern making way easier then draping everything and is fitted to your body (if you make a block using your exact measurements rather than getting one in your dress size)

    @ajburke8963 Рік тому +30

    I honestly think it'll depend on how you style it how "Santa" it gives. You can definitely style it more Stevie nicks and tone down the Santa effect a bit.
    Edit: got to the styling part of the video and you definitely nailed the Stevie nicks vibes in some of your looks! Very cute!

    It was looking like father Christmas but the finished style looks like Kate 1960's early 70's rock star . Which I really like. Looks real good. I'd wear it out. But I'm the kind of person that if I like it , that's what matters. Wear it when you want. Like damn the torpedoes full steam ahead! You go woman!

    Kira if you ever want another faux-fur method that's very customizable - look into combing out and flat ironing yarn! It's fairly common in the furry/cosplay community and I think you'd do amazing things with it.

    I love the coat! It is so cool looking. Also I know some people think that the coat is giving Santa- but personally I think it is giving more Bernard the Elf from the Santa Clause movies. Which as someone who wishes they could dress like him all the time, I mean that in the most complimentary and nicest way possible!
