Here’s a slightly better look at my bonkers little 18th century suit. I will share some closeups of all the silly embroidery soon! The buttons are all hand embellished. A tiny detail but worth it for the extra panache!
I wanted to be Julie D’Aubigny but absolutely ended up as a dusty romantic vampire instead. I need a little court sword to compete the look. Part of the fun of making this was stumbling onto the fabric for the coat in an upholstery shop in Florida while I was visiting for a family funeral. My Great Aunt always loved an exuberant project and part of me feels like she handed me this material because it’s perfect. We’ll be back to regularly scheduled I Do Declare content soon!

So… go fetch my shovel, the nice one in the glass cabinet

Well, today’s news is miserable as ever. Expect a relaunch of the Noli Me Tangere collection soon to help fund the fight for abortion access.

And unrelated here’s a little Our Flag Means Death moment. Here another test version of the blouse style I’ve been working on! This one in handkerchief weight linen. I think there are just a few more little tweaks that need to be made before I finalize the pattern and send it off to @digit_patterns to be digitized and graded into all the sizes.
How do you feel about the ruffles at the cuffs? I think they could be just a teeny bit shorter.
I dug through my costume drawer and found a surprisingly numerous collection of 18th century inspired menswear. A lot of them come from early versions of the Charley Vest made for various events in Nyc. I’m reworking that pattern a bit (and adding pockets) before bringing it back!

On #thisdateinpiratehistory in 1718, Stede Bonnet, aboard his ship Revenge, unsuccessfully attacks the merchant ship, Protestant Caesar.

Bonnet’s men spotted the merchant ship Protestant Caesar near Roatán, off the coast of Honduras. Protestant Caesar was an impressive ship boasting twenty-six cannon and 400-tons; she was more than four times the size of Bonnet’s Revenge.

Nonetheless, Bonnet and his men decided to give chase and attack. They caught up to the Protestant Caesar at 9pm and, with a clever move, cut behind the merchant ship and fired five cannon and a volley of musket.

The Caesar responded by firing off two stern guns and a hail of bullets. As the smoke cleared, Bonnet called out that if the ship fired another gun, no quarter would be given, and they would kill everyone onboard. Knowing a bluff when he saw one, the ship’s captain - William Wyer of Boston - let off another salvo of his cannon.

The two ships exchanged fire for several hours, but seeing the futility of the effort, Bonnet eventually broke off from the engagement and retreated into the night.

Disgruntled by the continued lack of successes under Bonnet, the crew made it known that his captaincy was on thin ice; many vowed to abandon when the ship came into the next port. As they pulled into Turneffe several days later, many were pleased to see the Queen Anne’s Revenge anchored nearby.
