recently made two 1870s dresses based off of some victorian fashion plates! i feel like theres a huge lack of 1870s/18880s fashion and i really felt inspired to create some more!

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | N°50 | Francesim, Petit Trianon, 1 Vendémiaire An 231
Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next
The morning after his return to Versailles, Napoleon V joins Charlotte at the Petit Trianon for what appears to be a peaceful breakfast. But beneath the quiet intimacy of the moment, the Regent calmly confronts her husband about the scandal caused by the photos published in Voici. Already familiar with Laura Delcroix from their years at Polytechnique, Charlotte refuses to see the young woman as a romantic rival and instead condemns Louis’s irresponsibility for dragging a serious and discreet naval cadet into a humiliating media scandal. Ashamed, Napoleon tries to apologize, but Charlotte ultimately chooses to end the conversation without drama, revealing a disappointment far colder.
Charlotte: You look better.
Napoleon: I was sleeping quite well until a valet opened the curtains.
Charlotte: That must be less disturbing than the bugle at military school.
Charlotte: Henri and Marie-Joséphine will be arriving soon. They want to see you as well.
Napoleon: Very well.
Charlotte: It’s also out of love. They don’t just want to blame you for what happened.
Napoleon: Do you really read that trash?
Charlotte: Apparently, the whole Francesim does.
Charlotte: Louis. Laura was already spending her time correcting your mistakes at Polytechnique while Joachim was trying to organize clandestine parties.
Charlotte: She is serious. Discreet. Hard-working. You should not have dragged her into your nonsense.
Napoleon: We didn’t force her.
Charlotte: The country is going through a major crisis. Polynesia is threatening self-determination. I am pregnant. I am finishing my studies. And I have to govern the Regency while my husband is on the cover of Voici, drunk outside a nightclub.
Napoleon: I’m sorry. I thought—
Charlotte: Let’s not talk about it anymore. That’s all I had to say.
TRADUCTION FRANCAISE
Au lendemain de son retour à Versailles, Napoléon V retrouve Charlotte au Petit Trianon pour un petit-déjeuner en apparence paisible. Mais derrière la douceur du moment, la Régente confronte calmement son mari à la polémique provoquée par les photos publiées dans Voici. Connaissant déjà Laura Delcroix depuis leurs années à Polytechnique, Charlotte refuse de voir la jeune femme comme une rivale et condamne surtout l’irresponsabilité de Louis, qui a entraîné une élève-officier sérieuse et discrète dans un scandale médiatique humiliant. Honteux, Napoléon tente de s’excuser, mais Charlotte préfère clore le sujet sans drame, laissant apparaître une déception bien plus froide.
Charlotte : Tu as meilleure mine qu’au réveil.
Napoléon : Je dormais très bien avant qu’un valet ouvre les rideaux.
Charlotte : Ce doit être moins dérangeant que le clairon de l’école militaire.
Charlotte : Henri et Marie-Joséphine vont bientôt arriver, ils veulent te revoir eux-aussi.
Napoléon : Je m’en doutais. Très bien.
Charlotte : C’est aussi par amour. Ils ne veulent pas seulement te blâmer pour ce qui est arrivé.
Napoléon : Vous lisez vraiment ce torchon ?
Charlotte : Apparemment, toute la Francesim l’a fait.
Charlotte : Louis. Laura passait déjà son temps à corriger vos erreurs à Polytechnique pendant que Joachim essayait d’organiser des soirées clandestines.
Charlotte : Elle est sérieuse. Discrète. Travailleuse. Tu n’aurais pas dû l’impliquer dans vos bêtises.
Napoléon : On ne l’a pas forcée.
Charlotte : Le pays traverse une crise majeure. La Polynésie menace de s’auto-déterminer. Je suis enceinte. Je termine mes études. Et je dois assurer la régence pendant que mon mari fait la couverture de Voici en sortant ivre d’une boîte de nuit.
Napoléon : Je suis désolé. Je pensais que –
Charlotte : N’en parlons plus, c’est tout ce que j’avais à dire.
Sculpting and refining are still happening, but the basic idea is a working class ensemble for 18th century ladies. Versions with and without the apron, maybe?
I'm not up for doing accessories yet, I think. Every time I try, the whole endeavor goes TERRIBLY wrong, so uh....
Yep! This silhouette could also work for 17th century working class outfits as well, honestly, in my opinion.

What do you do when the Sims 4 got you down? Load up your 50 gbs medieval cc and find brand new ways to break your game! No? Just me?
Anyway ~ I cut this dress together because I wanted a simpler, about town dress for my merchants, and well-to-do peasantry to walk around in.
THREE VERSIONS:
V1: Simple and Clean
V2: Brocade with a textured fabric design
V3: Piratey with embroidered leather stays
!! There's also a Shirt Color Overlay in Rings if you're feeling spicy, but all the dresses have been designed to look nice even without it!
Working on initial testing for these dresses - yes, there's holes, the weights are janky, but I'm happy to know that they actually like... work in game.
Left is the 1700's riding habit w/ coat, right is the late 1700's English court gown.
Sul sul!! Now this is THE fantasy dress of all time, I've been dreaming of making for ages (didn't dare make it when I was more in the beginner stage) but it's here now with the most dramatic skirt, dramatic sleeves & lots of embroidery <33

Hello, friends! This is Version 1 of some 18th century riding habits. In this case, it's the riding habit WITHOUT the coat. Next project I'll work on is V2, the version WITH the coat.

Tucked away deep in the countryside of Windenburg, the so-called "lodge" sits within the Kingswood, a 1,000-acre forest where Kings would hunt during the summertime. Originally known as Ludlow House, the manor was constructed by Prince Edward, Duke of Windslar, third son of the King, in the 1730s. Edward constructed a large Georgian manor, meant to compete with his elder brother's residence, Sulani House. Like his brother, he dedicated it to his own wife, Charlotte Cecil, and ordered the construction of the famed Love Maze. Edward would often host his elder brother, King Edmund, who enjoyed hunting in the Kingswood during the summertime. Edward's son, Prince William, inherited the estate along with his father's substantial debt in 1750, and decided to sell the house to his cousin, King Edmund IX. The King gifted the manor to his new wife, Queen Odette, after the birth of their first child in 1753. Odette used the lodge as an escape from the stuffiness of court life at Windslar and Verdun. The lodge, quietly nestled in the countryside, provided a sanctuary for her new family. Odette redecorated the lodge and ordered many renovation projects throughout her tenure as consort. The lodge hosted Odette's prized collection of antique Hellenistic and Classical sculptures, along with many of her favorite paintings from the Royal Collection. The Royal Family would spend the summers at the lodge during Queen Odette's ownership, and later in December for Christmas. Odette retired to the lodge permanently in 1814. The lodge remained at the center of the Royal Family until the 1830s, when Odette passed away at the age of 94. She left the residence to her granddaughter, Queen Mary II, who used the lodge sometimes during her early marriage. Mary leased the property to her step-grandson, the King of Brindleton, after the family was deposed in the first Brindletonian Revolution in the 1880s, which they used until the monarchy's restoration in 1906. Mary's successor, and granddaughter, Alexandra II, converted the lodge into a museum in 1923, dedicated to the House of Wittenburg and its history.
MUCH needs to be fine-tuned and fixed, but here's a game test of the riding habit.
This uses @waxesnostalgic's 18th century waistcoat, skirt is by @sifix, the version of the dress with the coat will use a coat by @inlovewithregencyera, and the sleeves are EA.
