Saltyhibiscus - THE CLOUD IS ALIVE

Wanted to paint, have my cat :]

Hyperfixating on your own OC is so frustrating. Nobody else wants to rotate them in their minds the way you do and if you talk too much about it they can get impatient and exasperated.

My poor blorbo. Unloved by all but me and to a lesser extent my boyfriend. My blorbo OC is so amazing and I can't explain it to anyone else.

Short disclaimer: Most pictures show clothes of royalty, aristocracy, and burgoisie as their clothes weren’t worn as much and especially not for labour, which is the issue with farmers/workers’ clothes, which also were reused quite often, whether to sew new clothes or have rags. So please keep this in mind!!

It really is very European-centric as I am European as well, and I apologise for it if you expected more from it. I definitely lack the knowledge to determine what are accurate portrayals of other cultures, and to find content for them is really difficult as well. This is why I would encourage you to submit any resources you have or add them below! If you have any book recs or know good pages, please let me know!

Another edit/note: Pinterest has changed a lot since I made the post, so you need to be signed in now to see more than the first row of the boards, I’m really sorry about that! (Also I tested all the links and on my original post they still work, if you’re having isues with that.)

YET ANOTHER EDIT: yes I think we all know by now that you mistook it for menstruation wear. It’s ok. You’re probably the 500th person who mentions it. I get it. Fun fact: most menstruating people just wore what they always wore and just added stuff like period aprons (Abby Cox has an interesting video about it)! Karolina Żebrovska also has a video on menstuation and why it’s so hard to learn something about it!

Also yes, this is primarily women’s wear. At the time I made this post, I didn’t much care about men’s wear, I couldn’t accurately pinpoint whether the suit is 1920s or 1850s, so *on my own boards* I mostly tried to sidestep that issue aside from explicitly dated garments. That’s why. I also never claimed this to be the be-all-end-all, I was mostly enraged how everything vaguely historical was either labelled as “Medieval” or “Victorian” with little to no recognition for any other time period, so I made this post. I never expected it to blow up like this. The post-1920s also weren’t really of interest to me and I just added them out of a feeling of obligation, so they definitely don’t go as hard as they could. Same goes for the Medieval periods.

Another thing: I cannot guarantee anything for pinboards that I didn’t create. Some may have an accidental stray pin that they wanted to pin somewhere else but didn’t notice, others may have taken their boards and completely reformed them. I don’t know. Take everything with a giant pinch of salt. idk if anyone will read this last bit here but at least that’s off my mind now.

Anyway, thank you for all these lovely messages in the tags (yes I still do read them from time to time)!

Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol
