Doctor sews cottagecore / Ghiblicore dress so she can live like Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle

[@emilyflowers1105]

Your "dogs" are clearly sentient clouds. Meaning you're a simple country doctor, living with fantastical cloud beings, and on call amidst the plague. I don't think you can call it ghiblicore when your life is basically a Ghibli movie.

[@CathyHay]

Watching this, I feel like aprons could be the Look of 2021: next level pocketting, AND your beautiful self sewn historybounding outfit stays clean no matter what. I'm sold!

Thank you Cathy! Oh man, it's a COMFORTABLE home uniform and it's so easy to mix and match, I don't have to think about it in the mornings! :D Basically... they're scrubs except for home.

[@TayaSews]

Me too! A great tip I saw in 'Creating Couture Embellishment' by Ellen Miller is to cheat the stitch counts by basting a thin strip of gingham to the inside of the skirt before you start to run the gathering threads. Then you can use the little gingham squares to align the gathering stitches perfectly, without having to measure/concentrate.

These look so cozy and comfortable. Ever since Rachel Maksy posted a few videos on pinafores a few weeks back, I've wanted to make something like this. And combined with your video I am absolutely adding these to my "To Make" list! I live in Florida, so these lightweight linen dresses feel like they would be perfect to wear practically all year round. And I love the added pintucks to the apron. I know they serve a practical purpose of shortening the apron, but it's also a pretty detail added in that I think makes the apron feel special. ..and it's an incredibly simple dress but I need a Kiki dress. She's my favorite! Think it still fits in Ghiblicore even if it's a little out of place with Sophie and the others.

I love the movie My Neighbor Totoro so much that I have made it a point to buy it for all of my friends children for their birthdays, and they all really love it. I just watched it again a few days ago, and it's the only movie I own that when the credits roll I could start it at the beginning and watch it all over again. I love the dress, it looks very similar to one worn in a daguerreotype of my husbands, 2nd grt. grandma. I love the off the shoulder look of the bodice. I shall have to go look through my old family pictures and see what inspiration I can take from them.

I love Little Women Atelier! Thank you so much for illuminating the high waist issue, I thought I had just gained weight since I gave them my measurements... I didn't think about the fact that it was sitting on my ribcage. Glad I got it with plenty of ease so the only consequence is the hidden zipper showing a bit more than it's supposed to. I also just love learning more about construction techniques, even if I don't really sew currently. It gives me an appreciation for the things I purchase, and helps me when shopping to analyze if clothes have been constructed well. I will say, the more costuming KZbin I consume, the more I am pushed in the direction of setting up my sewing machine again and trying things out. I was very into Lolita fashion in high school, so I love the Victorian child aesthetic, but I also kind of want to see how Renaissance office-wear would look? but unfortunately I've not had any luck in finding an etsy shop that does knee length Italian renaissance gowns...
