In my mind the bridge and the drowning (and then Vander regretting the drowning) incidents happened in pretty quick succession, and the girls would probably have wondered why one of the Last Drop residents isn't around

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

I went down this rabbit hole looking for what people in the Middle Ages called their underwear. It was a challenge. So here are the ways I found what I needed:

Online, sometimes you can find seamstresses and tailors of cosplay or larp costumes, who do historical dress. The makers live or die by the authenticity of their work as a point of competition. So sometimes they link to the sources they used. try insta and pinterest.

You may also want to try “history of fashion,” “historical dress,” “history of costume,” etc search terms. You might get links to book publishers of huge historical dress tomes from publishers like Phaidon, Rizzoli, Taschen, the Metropolitan Musem’s Costume Institute (X).

Or try the most important fashion universities’ publications: Parsons (X), Central St. Martin’s (X), The F.I.T. (X) etc.

Some book options:

My personal favorite that I own:

Fashion History, by The Kyoto Costume Institute

(only goes back to 1700s tho)

And the all-important

the undies worn in the Middle Ages are called “braies”

I'd also recommend:

Decades of Fashion (link leads to a blog post with a bunch of other recs); covers the 20th to early 21st centuries

How to Read a Dress (as well as its companion How to Read a Suit); 16th-21st centuries

The Chronicle of Western Fashion and 20th Century Fashion, both by John Peacock, former is "the ancient world" to late 20th century

[snapcracklepop-myjoints]

folk dress as a cultural phenomenon is less specifically what you were looking for (folk costume rather than historical fashion) but still very interesting and worth reading. its a collection focusing on polish folk costume with chapters on stuff like research methods, examinations of constructed vs recreated folk costumes and the legitimacy thereof (can it be considered "traditional", etc), museum collection and display, etc.

Wonder Woman crop of my last post.

[8thparadox]

Turns out Wonder Woman's 1930s design is somehow closer to how the ancient Greeks depicted Amazons then most "greek-inspired" WW redesigns from the 21st c. This was inspired my me going "Hold up... why is Diana always depicted as an ancient Greek when the Amazons were specifically... NOT the ancient Greeks.

X-Men! I just love drawing lineups it's so fun and relaxing This is for my AU/Timeline I've put together. at this point it is 1975, but the X-Men don't have their first mission until 1976. I'm planning on drawing the other members of the X-Men and other designs for these guys as they grow and change.

NO option for Blow Job Hunnicutt. I'm sorry I'm a hater I don't think anyone would name their baby that. BONUS POINTS: +1 bonus point: What name specifically if you have one in mind +1 bonus point: Why doesn't BJ tell people what BJ stands for.. embarrassment? the bit? forgot? +1 bonus point: if you reblog. I'm new to the mash fandom I need someone else to pass this around.
