Sorry you guys, need to finish coloring in a drawing.

[littl3chocobo]

totally alright~ may i inquire as to what you are drawing?

[Kaderin Triste]

Just now getting out of work, so I'm doing pretty good.
And I really like everything about this skirt except maybe the kind of texture/pattern it has to it. As for length, I prefer longer styles. Knee-length and longer.
Actually, other than the texture/pattern, this skirt is very similar to the style of a couple that I own irl.

not really digging the wide-knit woolishness but the rest is ok? XD gotcha~

[Kaderin Triste]

Lol. The wide knit woolish thing is alright. But I generally think of woolen type skirts as a more heavy winter type skirt. And I think of winter skirts as being more mid-calf maxi skirts I guess?
For avis in general, it's alright, but for rl cosplay avis it's not quite right.
XD

[littl3chocobo]

rl cosplay?


it was supposed to be kinda schoolish, hahaha those things can be pretty thin and short regardless of weather

Chocobo: It's avatar art for a friend. :)

[Kaderin Triste]

Rl cosplay = real life cosplay = making my avi look like myself
XD

Ohhh....I mean...it could have sort of the 60's-ish school vibe...?
I honestly haven't seen anyone wear a wool type skirt in...forever. Although I found a couple nice ones on Amazon that I want except the reviews on sizing are so inconsistent that I don't dare order one.

[littl3chocobo]

ooh, are you able to share? owo


really? X''D i am not nearly old enough for 60's anything and as far as i know the stuff from when i was a kid is still how it's done(of course i guess synthetics could just be more prevalent than they were ten years ago)

[Kaderin Triste]

Oh believe me, my knowledge of the 60's is pretty much from movies and tv shows...so not 100% accurate at all.
I just seldom think of short-ish wool type skirts without thinking of the 60's and 70's.

[littl3chocobo]

i just checked and skirts are about what they were though there are a lot more options with nylon and polyester

[littl3chocobo]

pffft, to hear it from my motherinlaw it was all jumpers and daydresses in the wool department XD

[Kaderin Triste]

Kind of wishing I had asked my mom about 60's fashion...but I missed out on that opportunity.

[littl3chocobo]

surely you have other family/friends who lived then?

[Kaderin Triste]

None that I ever talk to or have contant info for.

[littl3chocobo]

well dang.... um, hve you considered looking for books from around that time that have a reason to comment on the contemporary fashions? both libraries and second-hand shops have them for sure
