Nice try. First, I answer this quiz… then you’ve stolen my identity and have me locked in a cellar.

I won’t be fooled by your tricks.

Yassss!  I think she’s a barmaid, so maybe you’re dancing in her bar.   

I should make a list and group the results by era so we can see who’s with who.

rome kinda went on for a while and i wasnt a fan of either period. it must have been great if you were rich or privileged. not sure if insane dancer was privileged enough lol.

i mean, I'd feel the same way about Rome that i feel about now, its just that ive come to a place where i think at least i get to live a life in direct opposition to a brutal empire and work for something better. if i don't get to live in a time and place that is actually good, at least getting to do that is pretty cool too 

trust me, if were up to me the roman empire would have never existed. no empire would have. unfortunately it's not, so what can you do?

 

don't tell GiulianoTaverna i said that

im sure comrade giuliano understands the parallels to the roman empire and our current us empire better than anyone. both falls are similar in how we over expanded and society just finally crumbled after many years of deterioration from within.

Ask InsaneFox, they know what their strong suit is.  I just meant that if they're skillful then they're likely above average, but because of their social status nobody pays them any attention, I was picturing in a comical way.  Like people around them doing stupid things and InsaneFox standing there with this look, "I told you that from the beginning, why do I bother talking to you people..." type of thing.

Although now I'm getting an image of Jesus as a little kid and his father standing over him shaking his head with that look on his face  because you said 'wood working'...and also because I read "Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff."   Not the renaissance, I know.

I used to dress up medieval too though!  Both are fun.  Corsets underneath, corsets on top, which ever way...corsets were probably the most interesting article of clothing I figured out how to make.  They're...like...magic, because the pieces are such funny shapes and when you're tailoring to a specific body it's not only the size that changes from person to person but the actual shape of each individual panel is different for each person.

Well, in the pics you posted earlier in the thread, you looked spectacular. Almost like you could've been on Firefly, in a way. (Like a guest star or something.)

[Vela]

Oh...I just thought of another Victorian-esque dress I made.  This one I was trying to be a little more accurate with, had a bustle and everything...well, a faux bustle not a real wire one because it was for a friend's wedding and I had to use what I had on hand at the time.  I think I know where to find it...

 

Found it:

This was it from the back:              The front: 

 

The bustle would have been made out of a wood, wire or bone frame almost like a cage...lol mine was just cardboard and stuffing on a belt XD : 

 

Even though it was faux it was still a massive project.  There were four pieces to the dress that I had to assemble when I got there because it was a two hour car ride to the wedding.  Knowing what I know now I would have made the piece that covers the belt in the front less bulky.  I can't imagine what it was really like back then, women had specific outfits for almost every encounter.  House dress, morning wear, day wear,  greeting wear, riding attire which was different for horse carriages vs. automobile, walking attire.  Yeah we've got different outfits for that stuff too these days but it's like changing pants or a shirt, no corsets, bustles, bloomers or spats involved.

Well there, you can see in the above pic what I would have picked out instead  I can't remember the actual dress from the show but it left enough of an impression for me to remember thinking it was waaaaaaaaaay too frilly for me and there being a shit ton of pink XD  Hook me up with Inara's wardrobe and we're in business.

Yeah as cute as that is, I'm so glad I'm not required to dress like that today, it looks cumbersome >.<

You are so talented!  So amazing.  

I bought a Victorian dress from an antique shop back in high school.  It had a cute little bow bustle.  It was more conservative looking tho because the collar was high.  I have a pic but I won’t post it.

I've always wondered how I'd look in Victorian garb. (Part of me is afraid to find out. lol)
