i am completely enraptured with this gif
Somehow there are still way too many people who think a tailor is someone who makes clothes for men (or worse, just a male clothing-maker). Tailoring is a specific trade with a specific set of techniques—historically, the difference has less to do with gender than it does to do with flat-drafting vs. draping methods of pattern-making and fitting. Tailor is not the male version of seamstress, it is gender-neutral and it refers to its own history (and seamstressing/mantua making is ALSO a trade with its own techniques and history fwiw)

Sneak peeks at the finished Dernhelm shirt!
It’s now packed up in my case and ready for proper picture in a castle ruin or some other grandiose background!
This shirt caused me to swear in frustration so many times, and the sleeves are wonky as hell on the inside, and there are a lot of things I’d do differently now but hey, it’s Good Enough! And I love how I look in it, which wins over all the imperfections. And I am So In Love with the buttons you don’t even know!!!
The only thing I’ll probably do because it’s for the durability of the shirt rather than the aesthetics is going over all the buttonholes by hand to cover the fraying. My machine can make buttonholes but the result is all but neat and sturdy, so this is something for future Camille to work on.
some dadmic because it's amazing
Also bonus shinsou:
tumblr has an AI toggle you should turn on to prevent your work being shared with training models/etc! it's under settings & visibility.
