Aren't you sick of your poor ladies having absolutely NOTHING to wear? They can't afford the latest and finest silks, and of course, they don't want to wear their mother's pre-revolution outfits. Yuck! This is a working-class dress for your regency ladies who are on the less fortunate side and with the new and fashionable empire waist!
This is a frankenmesh of a dress from @peebsplays & @gilded-ghosts. I also used a fichu from @acanthus-sims and an apron texture from @chere-indolente
BGC, with 20 swatches all inspired by actual fashion plates of the time
Below are pictures of actual working-class regency dresses
Oh, what's this? Sweet little Emma seems to be playing with her brand-new baby doll, Polly. How adorable!
She's so proud of her Polly that she wants to show her off to the world! She starts tugging on her mother's apron to get her to see Polly.
Oh no! Her mother isn't giving her any attention. Instead of turning to see Emma's doll, her mama seems to be preoccupied with her own baby, Emma's new little sister, Annabelle.
Poor, poor Emma. It's hard being a 3 year old. It's harder getting a new sibling who seems to get your mother's undivided attention and you're no longer the star of the show.
:(
Oh, but fear not little one, for you will always be the center of attention when Aunt Beth is around.

Here's the last installment of Advent! I just can't stop making 1830s hairs...this one is a simplified version of my Mariana hair with a paired bonnet. The bow attachment was borrowed from this Gilded Ghosts set (thank you Gilded Ghosts for having an open T.O.U.!)
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and New Years!
I originally published this back in September of 2019 but it needed a big update and it own post because it got easily lost. Here’s a child conversion of my Regency activist outfit.
So one of my favorite webtoons, Heir's Game, ended in December and I was so devastated. I didn't want it to end! I decided to make some of the clothes the protagonist wears in the webcomic to assuage my grief. It's set in a sort of fantasy world with 18th and early 19th century costumes that are quite close to historically accurate. I also thought it was a shame there were none of these gorgeous full-skirted waistcoats in the Sims (at least, not at the time I started making this nine months ago... has anyone else made one yet?) However, it's not totally historically accurate as it's also kind of fanart.
But this would probably work for mid-18th century. I recreated a lot of the looks seen in the webtoon and also made some plain swatches for less dapper gentlemen.

This is a fullbody outfit for teen/adult/elder without included shoes or stockings. (My shoes are located here). More information and closeups below the cut.
There's a lot of embroidery on these waistcoats. The one above I hand drew to mimic one that appears frequently in the comic, but all of the others I borrowed from existing Sims clothing, mostly Indian wedding clothes. Those 18th century Europeans certainly loved taking stuff from India... I had some ideas for drawing some elaborate designs on these, but then I remembered that I'm not really that good at drawing textures. There are a lot of 18th century creators in the sims community who are, so I hope that some of you might recolor this one.
The back of real life waistcoats of this type were usually linen or cotton, sometimes not even dyed, as it was intended to be hidden beneath the coat out in public. However, it does look prettier all in the same fabric type, doesn't it?
The weights on this mesh were tricky, which is part of the reason I waited close to nine months after starting it to finish it. I think it looks pretty good for the normal sims activities, but I found when posing in CAS that the waist area looks strange with a lot of CC poses. I don't think I can fix that without messing up the other weights, so I'll just be leaving it as it is.
Also, please read Heir's Game! It's really good, and you can read it for free on webtoon. Lots of political intrigue, sword duels, violence and it's also very gay.
Matilda Mudroom - A Modular Hallway Set with 28 items
I have always wanted to make a hallway set, but it's never been at the forefront of my mind, or been inspiring enough to become reality. I got a ask on tumblr about a mudroom and the idea just clicked with me, so I guess it was finally time for the idea to work on it. I am really happy with how it came out and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.
In staunch opposition to some of the more austere, practical Darlington lookbooks that we’ve seen in this decade is Rosella Darlington in the early 1910s. Now twenty years old, she is the epitome of late Edwardian, pre-war fashion, with its flowing layers of fabric, high waistlines, and slimmer, full length dresses.
Through a combination of her own sewing skill and Lady Harrington’s gifts, Rosella’s wardrobe has matured immensely since her teenage years. She has moved away from childish elements like short hemlines and Peter Pan collars, instead leaning heavily into decadent fabrics and a modern silhouette. However, there’s still a sort of dreamy girlishness to all of her looks, highlighted by her pastel, rose, and white color palette.
She has also fully embraced the luxury that her younger wardrobe hinted at. Judging from her looks, she is far from a day maid who lives on a farm. Rather, her style tells the story of how she envisions herself. For this reason, there are elements of late Victorian fashion like puffed sleeves and dramatic hats that highlight her Edwardian style. These remind her of her grandmother, and make her looks even more fanciful than other, more modern wardrobes, like those Lady Georgiana Harrington epitomizes.
There is some overlap between Rosella and Lady Georgiana’s looks, notably in the outfit categories and jewelry. All of Rosella’s jewels are also seen in Georgiana’s lookbook, indicating that George shares her expensive items to make Rosella’s wardrobe possible. The exception to this is a small pair of pearl and ruby earrings that George gave to Rosella on her 18th birthday. Rosella wears these with many of her looks, from her finest evening gown to her morning dress, and I imagine that they are her most prized possession.
I come to you today with this little historical seaside fashion interlude (before going back to work on more 1880′s sets). This set includes cable knit sweaters in high and low waisted, and variations on traditional fishermen smocks.
