Do you wish you looked like a little woodland creature that delivers mail to forest denizens? Or a louche 18th-century dandy? Or some type of wizard's apprentice? Well then you're in luck! For the first time in YEARS I am opening to sewing commissions and my absolute favourite thing is to help people live their hobbitty dreams.
Anything!
Well... okay. Most things. I'm particularly good at gender-affirming historical clothing, nontraditional wedding/celebration attire, and historybounding or fantasy inspired outfits. I mostly make clothing for everyday wear, but I'm also happy to work on cosplays.
I especially like to make poet shirts/pirate shirts (call them what you like, it's the Mr. Darcy shirt) as well as capes and cloaks of all stripes. But like I said, I'm open to most things. I like to collaborate—so come to me with an idea or some inspiration characters, and we'll talk. I also love vests.
One type of project I particularly love is making unique wedding attire. I'm not your best choice for white dresses or tuxedos, but if you want something really unique (or especially something fantasy-inspired) for your wedding, show me your Pinterest board! Below are some photos of me and my wife in the gowns I made, but I'm super interested in making things that aren't dresses as well, like decorative waistcoats or very dramatic wedding capes. Please note that for fitted bodices, we'll need to coordinate some type of fitting, either in-person or by mail.
You tell me! Instead of having fixed prices, I want to hear what you can afford and then adjust what I make to get to that. I'm very transparent with my pricing: I need you to cover the cost of materials, shipping, and a reasonable hourly rate for my labour.
Realistically, a garment made from scratch isn't going to be comparable to the low costs you'll see for fast fashion; and the more frills you want (hand stitched lacing holes, trim, fully hidden seams, very specific tailoring, etc.) the more it's going to cost. So come to me with your budget and we'll talk from there!
You can always send me a message on tumblr, but the best way to reach me is through my email: arielle.marina.d@gmail.com
And if you like my work but aren't interested in having something made yourself, please reblog or share with your friends to spread the word!

listen. i don't mind studying in fact i like learning new stuff every day (yeah i might be a constantly distracted mf but that's a different talk) BUT I SWEAR TO GOD my college will make me have a stroke!!!!
is the most disorganized institution in the world. nobody knows shit in that fucking building but everything is a "no, we don't know, don't even think about it, not in a million years, fuck u!" answer every time you have the slightest inconvenience.
bureaucracy made me hate my degree choice.
What I'm doing is a technique to sew threads together when they are broken, since we can't really use knots or very invasive methods we use a special glue that then we have to apply heat so it stays together
Reblog so i can find my people!!
one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.
My now regular photo dump of kitty induced serotonin before I hide it in the ever growing Pinterest Board from my therapist. Enjoy!
I love my career choices, I really do, but having more than 5 ten page essays in Arial 12 is going to end my mental health, the good thing is that like three are in groups, still with all the work load and everything is quite slow, and more with all the information I need to make a good presentation.
I've really been struggling to study because I haven't been doing well mentally. I barely sleep so I can't concentrate and I don't have any motivation to do anything.
I really don't want to fail my exams, so tomorrow I'm going to the library in the morning. I also need structure and routine in my life. I graduated from high school 4 years ago (during the pandemic) and I feel like I haven't had a proper routine since.
I know this is going to be hard because I literally haven't studied at all. I do uni online, they give us study materials and that's it. No lectures. You study on your own, you take an exam and that's it.
So I have to study the whole semester in 2 weeks. I might not pass, but at least I'll feel better knowing I tried.
I'm going to try and study a little before bed, I'm also going to prepare some topics I would like to write about on my blog :)
I remember this one because it was in the syllabus for the EVAU, which is the exam that you have to take in Spain to enter college, and was one of the last chapters we had to study
as an art historian i usually assume people know more about art history than they usually do so i'm actually very curious
as always u can rb for bigger sample size but this is just curiosity for me :)
