!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, these are super gorgeous! You've captured the characters really well, and all those tiny pretty details on the outfits looks like so much work! You're an inspiration :)  Will come back to look at these when I'm back from work later today!

Curry, these are all amazing! :O Historical fashion is awesome and I love the variety. Also, I look adorable in that lampshade tunic. :)

Curry - it might be a ridiculous (I'd say snazzy, really) but I don't think I could have rocked the... hmm... earlier fashion styles.
Renaissance aristocrat he is not. So I consider myself blessed by your artistic direction.

Helloooo all! After Keeper drew some fashions of various 'sonas, I decided that I wanted to do that too, but alas, the only fashion book I had was period fashion, so I made do and drew some select looks from 1547 on :O

Under spoilers so the MASSIVE amount of pictures doesn't kill all y'all's wifi (there are 31 drawings total)

The book I used for reference for all of these is this lovely compendium by the Smithsonian museum. If anybody needs a fun book about historical fashion I highly recommend it :0


Alright, back to lurking and finishing up art trades, I hope you all don't mind that I used your OCs v_v

!!!!  OMG, Curry, this is amazing!!!!  There aren't enough BBCode special effects to convey how much I, a fashion history geek, love this! 

What an incredible compendium of beautiful fashions -- and what a heartfelt tribute to each of us, to spend so much time and energy picking out and illustrating a unique look for each of us.  My SSSSona and I both thank you.  (I'm not sure which one I like best!  Haiz in the 17th-C. outfit looking very "Orlando"... Karri's amazing hair in a Marie Antoinette updo... the boys in their plus-fours and lounge suits... Trinka's adorably sleek 1919 dress... I'm going to have to go back and look again!)

You wouldn't know it to look at me, but I do in fact own a corset -- not that I've been able to squeeze into it for several years -- and if I had the money and time, I would immediately commission a dressmaker to sew me an 1880s bustle gown.  In fact, I chum around with vintage fashion and dance enthusiasts:  http://www.peersdance.org/events.html and http://www.gbacg.org/ -- and if you ever visited the SF Bay Area you would be carried in triumph on their shoulders through the streets. 

Thanks *very* much for sharing your incredible talents with us.

Under spoilers so the MASSIVE amount of pictures doesn't kill all y'all's wifi (there are 31 drawings total)

Spoiler: Adrai Thell and AuthorofLight • show


Things I will not draw: historically accurate codpieces, brocade, historically accurate brocade codpieces (examples of all of which were omitted from the above drawings)

Spoiler: Haiz and Karri • show


Haiz is mildly perturbed by the sheer quantity of clothing. Karri's hair was made for the Marie Antoinette era

Spoiler: Sigrid Marie and freddiethefantastic • show


I started to make myself draw out patterns here. Also, I saw the second dress and immediately went FREDDIE

Spoiler: Sigrid Marie and DancingRanger • show


It was hard thinking of somebody who wouldn't be swallowed by the dress on this page, but then I remembered that I could draw characters more than once, and of course Sigrid would rock it 8) Ranger got a little Emil there, but it's a pretty Emil outfit, so why not?

Spoiler: Antillanka and frenci • show


The lace and trim on these ones nearly killed me. I remembered Antillanka's OC always wanted to wear big ball gowns, so I chose the biggest and ball-est, and then the description for frenci's was "feline bow" and they described their OC as very cat-like and how could I pass that up

Spoiler: ruth and Sunflower • show


Ruth is very pleased and rocking it, Sunflower is a bit skeptical of suddenly having a waist the size of a donut. All those ridiculous corsets and crinolines aren't her style, I would imagine :0

Spoiler: Petronella and Karri • show


Petronella is a fisher, so naturally the bathing suit was only meant for her, and Karri's costume was too difficult for me to give up...

Spoiler: jesty and Trinka • show


jesty is cute enough to pull off this funky look, and when I saw the second supersleek design, I thought Trinka would work it with her adorable haircut :)

Spoiler: Piney and freddiethefantastic • show


Piney's dress was a fun experiment with drawing translucent fabric (the sleeves), and I'm sorry to say that Freddie's was just so beautiful and complex that sadly I couldn't do it justice :_) I hope it worked out well enough...

Spoiler: m-ew and KauniitaUnia • show


m-ew's OC is a very good personality fit for the roaring twenties and they wear the fashions so well :D Kauniita's look was very cool and graceful, so their elegant design immediately popped to mind when I saw it :0

Spoiler: ParanormalAndroid and Vafhudr • show


I'm not sure why but I have this feeling that Para would wear shorts as long as these. Vafhudr, sorry for putting you in that ridiculous lounging suit, but the model in the book was just so sillily clean-cut that I wanted to see how it would look on somebody with wilder hair (and personally I don't think it looks all that bad...)

Spoiler: ClairityKoi and Alethyria • show


ClairityKoi has a really fluttery and pretty drawing style, and this dress is very fluttery and pretty :0 It was very fun drawing your eyelashes. Alethryia's 'sona had such a clean-cut uniform design that I couldn't resist putting her in a more military outfit.

Spoiler: Quabus and Viisikielinenkantele • show


I haven't seen much of Quabus's OC but her sweet-looking design was a very good fit for this design (although to be honest I just wanted somebody with a braid. Gwenno, I was torn between you two as for who to draw, but I went with the person with less fanart in the end :X ) Vi's musical OC has some fantastic flowy hair that I wanted to pair with this look.

Spoiler: videovance and m-ew • show


video I'm so sorry for butchering your adorable OC ;___; He's so cute that I couldn't resist drawing him, but I'm afraid (like freddie's second dress) that I did him no justice... m-ew and Karri are wearing a complimentary duo of 60's-era minidresses, but without the coloring, it's less obvious.

Spoiler: Karri and callipygous • show


Here's the other minidress, with an 80s-era callipygous on the right. I love drawing Karna it's a problem

Spoiler: callipygous and guest appearances from m-ew, karri, and callipygous again • show


callipygous's memetastic ~~kawaii~~ OC was the only possible fit for Japanese Lolita fashion. If you're wondering about the color scheme, it's pink. All of it.
That's m-ew and Karri conspiring to keep the dresses in the middle sketch and then callipygous and Karri running off to burn down the town slay in their new outfits



The book I used for reference for all of these is this lovely compendium by the Smithsonian museum. If anybody needs a fun book about historical fashion I highly recommend it :0


Alright, back to lurking and finishing up art trades, I hope you all don't mind that I used your OCs v_v

CURRY THESE ARE AMAZING DEAR GOD *faints* I'm a total sucker for period fashion

Okay so I've seen the drawings of me before (the second outfit is so ridiculous omg), but I had not seen all the others! They're amazing! I'm so impressed with the detail, because let me tell you, if I was the one drawing this I would have given up after two outfits.

Also I love your drawing style, but at this point that kinda goes without saying

CURRY! curry! CccuUUuRrrryYyYyyyy!

OMFG, so much love, I can't even.  Historical fashion is my love, I will sit through all the poorly written period movies if I know the costuming is on-point! And all your DETAILS..... lace, and brocade, and embroidery, and frills, and beading, aaannnndddd *melts into puddle of fashion induced goo*


And look at how sleek and adorable Mimmi is in THAT DRESS. It's so stylish and French and timeless and looovveeelllyyy. I'd totally rock that outfit IRL, and OH GOD it evem comes with a FABULOUS HAT. I love hats! You made her look like Lady Mary from Downtown Abbey.

I.LOVE.LADY.MARY'S.FASHION.SENSE.

If you don't watch Downtown Abbey, you really should. The costuming and set design is AMAZING.

Curry, you've outdone yourself yet again! These are beautiful and I... really can't think of anything to say that can really do these justice, actually. The detail and accuracy is just aaaAAAaaaaaAaAA
what are words

Hanna's outfit is really fitting with her character, I love it! To be honest I would look to 1920-30's fashions for her as well, so you're spot on there. I like how you referenced her uniform on the fur trim as well - I can tell how much thought you put into everyone's outfits individually ;)

Hah hahahahah hahahahahahahahahahah *dies*

Upon popular request here is a meeting of team 2 and team 3. I honestly tried to have everyone acting in character and have some semblance of coherence it in, but there were just too many 'ssssonas to juggle (I'm seriously hoping I managed to fit everyone in, but I just don't know anymore  :'( !!!!!!) aaaaaaand it kinda descended into a jumbled mess of something....... This thing has been kinda figuratively killing me for days, but maybe some you y'alls will get a laugh out of it (is it even funny? I just can't tell anymore.... HAH,BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!)

Anyway, hopefully nobody's major insulted by the way their ssssona was depicted. It's under a spoiler because it's just SO FREAKING LONG! (Long story short, Fimby decides to try weaponise bloptroll and team 2 decide to head over to a quieter place - team 3 base. Everyone gets along swimmingly then fimby + bloptroll arrive and chaos ensues. Sofie is not having a good day back at the communications office)
Spoiler: show










Haha, this is awesome ^^ Sofie is actually on team 3, but I guess I wasn't being clear on that xP


Curry: Wow, those are beautiful!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I should join the chorus, it's PERFECT! Fashion history is great, your style is amazing. And fashion history + your style... well I nearly dead. Curry, you can kill people with your talent. Be careful D:
