When I was regathering my long-neglected research for my Helga Sinclair ribbon corset, I rediscovered this gorgeous extant example in the V&A from 1895. Unlike most extant examples I've come across, this one doesn't feature overlapping ribbons. This suggests that it was made for a particularly slim woman who needed very little support and for particular summertime breathability (supported by the garment waist measuring 19", suggesting a laced waist of 22-24".)

To me, long-since trapped in The Locked Tomb, the ribcage-like appearance was inescapable. Wouldn't you know it, I have a Crown Prince Kiriona Gaia costume that I started a year ago that was needing a little something something to pull the design together and to help motivate me.

The pattern was adapted from my Helga ribbon corset, allowing for 24mm wide ribbon to meet at the sides and spread evenly in a ribcage like fashion at the front panel.

This time I used a beautiful shell-coloured silk ribbon. The ribbon is so beautifully soft, that it was a nightmare to work with. I do not recommend it for something that needs quite so much working as it marked with so much as a hard look! I am fairly certain that the V&A example the ribbon is self-mounted, so I again mounted my main ribbon, this time on a white cottong taffeta ribbon. If i slipped with my mounting or the ribbon twisted or buckled, i thought the white would be a suitably stark and skeletal contrast to the main silk ribbon.

As I am perhaps a little more fleshy than the lady who owned the original 1895 example, I cheated and also added a base layer of nude tulle to help smooth out the laced-up silhouette.

The overall construction process was the same as Helga: quilted the ribbon panels across the boned panels before covering and sandwiching them, and inserting the bones from the side to allow for for hem stitching.

To finish, another ivory powder-coated busk and stitched over eyelets for security.

Okay, update time: So yesterday I finished all of the art for the Splatoon intro. Having a short break today before I get started on the third and final one for FNAF: Fazbear Collection.

I might have forgotten to update earlier this week...admittedly, I've had a really rough week and been through some IRL stuff. Might take it easy for a bit. I'll be alright though.

Because I am incapable of doing anything creative with any amount of chill whatsoever, I decided I could only justify putting this Eddie cosplay together if I had the guitar (Surprising no one who has ever met me in person because I make grabbing hands at basically anything black and red). Nevermind that there was no way in hell I was going to buy a $2,000+ guitar that I don't know how to play for a convention. Nevermind that I'm definitely not interested in figuring out how to fly across the country with a guitar in addition to all my cosplay stuff.

I ended up deciding the obvious solution was to make one that I could take apart, which has certainly been an adventure. But one road trip to pick up a wildly underpriced ancient Warlock, and SO MUCH hot glue and rubber later, success! Well, success in mold making, at any rate.

Once I clean out the wax mold release, they should be just about perfect. 🎉 As someone who is both constantly trying new hobbies and also constantly dealing with the ADHD urge to drop anything I'm not immediately good at, I cannot overstate the delight of getting something right on the first try.

Lets talk about the planner!

So....I have no laptop right now so I'mma chat more about the planner I was, and will continue, working one.

The planner is a monthly planer with weeks themed....ish onthe sdj characters Jack Shaun, Nick and moonpie + nick's puppies.

I sadly don't like Ian...I just....heart kinda. He is a little to realy for me I guess.

But! Nonetheless!

Sunnyday Jack Planner!

The idea here is to make something simple. A pdf file that will work with any pdf editor.

Will test that part soon to be sure but as along as it is a pdf file everything should work fine.

The style/theme of this planner is kidcore or schoolcore.

The wip of the cover. It is very much like those school notebooks.

Not to sure if the og idea of having 3 'stickers' on the cover of 1 chibi illustration of the folks ya will see in this planner.

I do know that I would like to add a design on the boarder, the yellow, of the planner to really add to the kidcore/schoolcare theme.

Inside will be a monthly To-do list. Like an overall veiw of what you would like to do this month plus seeing who is the theme of the week.

4 weeks. 1 month. A planner than you can reuse over and over.

The weeks will have their own little art for the weekly calanders.

There was a goals page but I am wondering if I would still keep it or just chuck it. :'3

It feels unnecessary because we have the to-do list but wants and needs are very different. Orz

If I do keep this, I might just change it to match Jack's theme because I want him to be everywhere in the planner because he is a ghost who is always with you.

So this will also mean thatcI might neec to either soften his red or change his colour to be the blue of his jacket instead of the face paint :"3c.

Will show more of this when I am able to work on this again because this would be fun to do! QwQ will be alot of work though but :3c this will be a blast.

Maybe a ych will be apart of this when it is all ready UwU.

I have a PLAN and SUPPLIES and I really need to actually process said supplies soon because I keep having to move the corruplast sheet to get to my underwear shelf

I might slim the feathers down slightly to save supplies, I’ve got them all at around 6in across right now and my original wings were mostly 5in each, but I’ll see how that looks once I’ve got everything marked out at full scale.

i dont remember when i started this game but it's very much unfinished but it was a dear project of mine

I was coding on GDevelop and I was making a Coraline point and click game because it felt very much needed! Coraline returns to the Pink Palace when she's older when she has this unfinished with the place. She discovers the residents who have been staying there keep going missing, but it seems like there's something pulling people in to stay... Coraline goes in to investigate and the player gets to interact with the residents and do puzzles and learn about the history of the house, the Beldam's horrifying past, and try to free the residents and break the Beldam's curse...

I had some working titles, like Coraline Returns or Beldams Return but yeah :) It was fun while it lasted, and it was buggy and I never made the Other World area or anything like that-- I never posted any BTS or concepts because I wanted a COMPLETE version and I'm perfectionist but I'll let it slide showing you guys the unfinished, really really rough draft. but if someone knows more than me about coding and making games and needs a designer and would want to collab, or even want to see the other rooms/characters/short gameplay of what I had, lmk

A ribbon corset has been on my list to make for a good few years now. In 2020 I was full steam ahead to make a Helga Sinclair (Atlantis) cosplay. Life, pandemic, work, and endless distractions means we’re still not quite there yet, but in dribs and drabs I’m tackling elements of the costume as I’m still sitting on the majority of the materials.

This was when when I was in the depths of being very taken with making costumes from the skin out; fit, silhouette and sharp clean lines are my priority when making and where I find great satisfaction. To achieve a perfect shape, you need the perfect structure to build on.

Playing with undergarments creates further opportunity to explore character and the setting, historical or fictional, in a fun intimate way. Fabric choices, actual garment choices, shooting for a silhouette that is easily drawn but harder to achieve in the flesh. This led to me deciding that Helga would need a full set of pseudo-historical undergarments.

With references to the Kaiser, the overall steampunk aesthetic, and the silhouettes featured in the Washington DC-set opening scenes, Atlantis is clearly set in the early 1910s before the outbreak of World War I. Helga's design, however, drew heavily on Hollywood starlets of the '30's and '40's, most notably Veronica Lake and her career making hair. Withn the film, Helga remained highly individual, and was exclusively animated at Disney's French Studio by Japanese animator Yoshimichi Tamura for maximum sex appeal that Burbank animators apparently just can't get right.

This gave me a lovely big window of around 30 years to play and pick and choose from for possible undergarments which led me to: the ribbon corset.

Ribbon corsets emerged alongside sports and 'health' corsets at the turn of the twentieth century. These developed out of a growing engagement with sports and exercise in the leisure classes, the burgeoning Dress Reform movement that advocated the abandonment of the corset. Particularly in the case of the pretty ribbon corset there was also the influence of the late Victorian aesthetic movement that favoured loose, diaphonous romantic garments.

These corsets sat under the bust and had boning at the centre front, back and sides and no more and rested on the high hip. This allowed maximum movement for the active lady, gently supporting the torso in the fashionable flat fronted shaped with little restircution. The body of the corset was otherwise was made up, as in the name, of strips of ribbon.

When looking for discussion of how to construct one of these, all pointers led to Sidney Eileen's perfectly detailed tutorial, which I do recommend reading through. To my eye it is a very modern approach that I didn't quite agree with so I used it as a jumping off point along with the patterns in Corsets & Crinolines, and Corsets - Historical Patterns and Techniques.

To draft up the pattern was very simple: I marked out my desired waist measure, then measured up my centre front and centre back lengths (averaged out from the various patterns in my references compared against myself). I then used my ribbon - 50mm jacquard - to map out my body layout.

When it came time to construct I realised that my ribbon - so abstractly bought years ago - just didn't have the body to take this structure. Much too flimsy, much too synthetic. Fortunately I had a 50mm green grosgain in large quantity in my ribbon drawer. Given the merc-for-hire miliatry drab favoured by Helga, I thought the green alongside the pretty shell coloured floral made a lovely character juxtaposition.

I mounted my jacquard onto the grosgrain, creating a nice delicate border. If you look closely you'll see that actually there are too shades of green grosgrain here as I was about a metre shy of my preferred colour, but i figured it was close enough and minimally to just fake through.

These newly formed ribbons were laid out on my pattern, stitched carrfully together and then tacked all over to stop any irritating movement when working.

The boned panels - side, back and front - were two layers of herrinbone couil, trimmed with grosgrain and covered with main ribbon. The ribbon panels were first stitched to one layer of coutil, as you would with any garment. The ribbons were then quilted neatly and vertically across the width of the coutil panel to make sure that they are entirely secured. This was repeated for all panels; the side panel has two layers of quilte ribbon as a result.

As no extant example that I have seen to date has binding on these boned panels - naturally, it would add bulk and distract from the clean lines of ribbons - I decided that this would mean that I would sandwich and hem my boned panels for security. Each boned panel had its grosgrain trim and top ribbon tacked in placed, the the second layer of coutil was stitched and turned to the inside, folding the quilted ribbon very neatly inside. Boning was then inserted from the side and stitched into place rather than inserted into channels.
