Annie Mosity. Yes, my name is a cheap pun.

I like making things, complaining, and complaining about making things.

I try to blog enough pretty clothes to make up for my constant complaining and fandom nonsense, because I really love pretty clothes.

But I'm also a big ol' queer who cares about politics, so there's that.

My art tag is this.

My sewing tag is this.

My pretty clothes tag is here!

Photo reblogged from V's Voyeurisms with 105 notes

ornamentedbeing: Jerkin, ca. 1580SpanishBrown silk voided velvet trimmed with metallic bobbin lace Met “Working in tandem, curators and conservators combine theory and science to produce a more complete understanding of historical artifacts. Testing on this sixteenth-century jerkin by conservator Christine Paulocik has shown that all of the applied adornments—including the padding at the shoulders, silk tufts, and metallic bobbin lace—are original to the garment. Decorative buttons made of boxwood at the center front give the illusion of a closure, when in reality the wearer would have required help getting dressed due to the laced closure located at the center back. The use of boxwood buttons turned on a lathe is consistent with technology and materials of the period. The loss of velvet pile is likely a result of an iron mordant used in the dying process.”
