This is one of the 2 sources I used to recreate my 14th bce Minoan hypothetical dress.
We know so much about death rituals in some cultures, but very little about others. The beautifully-preserved panels of the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus give insight into 14th century BC Minoan burial practices, depicting offerings and sacrifices, as well as goddesses and griffins.

It would be nice.
Two commissions from one of my Instagram followers!
The Armsyces! Why are they so big that my tit can escape out the armpit of my t-shirt?!
And yes, it is impossible to look at off the rack clothing and bring yourself to spend for something that will not fit.
the thing nobody fucking warns you about is that once you know literally anything about sewing or how clothes are constructed it immediately becomes impossible to buy clothes because 90+% of newly produced clothes that you can actually look at in a physical store are just hot fucking garbage. like what is even the point of buying something made of thin polyester blend with a shit ton of exposed lazily serged seams on the inside and weirdly large armscyes? its completely unrepairable and also not worth repairing because it’s designed to be disposable and half its flaws are unfixable without essentially re-sewing the garment from scratch and the other half are a ticking time bomb where no structural element is expected to last past the first failure. no fucking wonder nobody bothers learning to sew buttons or darn in this day and age!! theres no damn point because the rest of the garment is totally fucked by the time it becomes needed! *i am gently escorted out of the department store, frothing at the mouth*
but you watch enough historical costuming videos and its just like. “+1 skill acquired: making your own clothes! good luck, you’ll definitely be using it from now on :)”
Meanwhile. In my yard....
Let's talk about it. A co-worker said they were worried that there would be discrimination against Russian people in the US (like after 9/11 or pearl harbor, etc). But how would you know they are Russian decent?
Also... there *is* a long history of war in Europe. And I liked this video for some of that regional history.
