Hello, Hello. It’s been a while between wardrobe planning posts, but it definitely hasn’t been a while between me thinking a lot about my wardrobe! In this post I’m going to talk about contrast, specifically from my face, and how that plays out in my wardrobe. Maybe you’re on TikTok? Even if you’re not I…… Continue reading Low contrast colours

Fat travel to Spring
I’m still thinking about travel wardrobes after my ‘Fat Travel Planning’ blog (which was posted a little while ago now) and decided to mock up a travel wardrobe now that I can sew. I’ve been thinking of some past holidays which have been marred by wardrobe issues, and I’ve been thinking about “re-packing” for those…… Continue reading Fat travel to Spring
Fat travel unders
I’m still thinking about travel wardrobes after my recent post ‘Fat Travel Planning’, which got an unusual amount of comments! Because there was so many great insights in the comment section, I thought that actually, some wardrobe sections deserved their own blog, so I’m cracking off with undies (not just because the Dulcie Boxer Briefs…… Continue reading Fat travel unders
Fat travel planning
When I think back on great overseas travel experiences, a lot of my memories are unfortunately regrets about clothing! I remember being hot, uncomfortable, sore, sweaty and generally discontented. I remember red stinging chub rub in Kyoto, I remember wearing a new shirt for the first time on a 16-hour flight to London only to…… Continue reading Fat travel planning
Core wardrobe pieces
After working through my most-worn and favourite makes in the last couple of blog posts, it occurred to me that beyond my favourite makes, there are a few pieces which go with everything in my favourites! You might want to check out ‘Sewing Wins, but why?’, and ‘Sewing Wins, conclusions’ before reading this post! This…… Continue reading Core wardrobe pieces
Sewing Wins, conclusions
In the last blog, I tried to analyse some of my favourite and most-worn makes to see if I could pin down exactly what makes them winners! ‘Sewing Wins, but why?’, you can read the post here. After all of my rambling, I didn’t actually get around to drawing any conclusions, so here are some…… Continue reading Sewing Wins, conclusions
Sewing Wins, but why?
I’m always thinking away about how to make everything I make a great fit for my life and wardrobe, but mostly I’ve concentrated on building a colour-scheme for my wardrobe, rather than the success of individual pieces. My reason for drilling down past the colour on some of my favourite makes is basically to see…… Continue reading Sewing Wins, but why?
Revisiting a colour-scheme
I’ve been relatively prolific in making recently, and I’ve also still been doing lots of thinking about how I could rework my colour scheme and do some more work on narrowing down a colour-scheme that I can buy fabric by. If you’re a warm autumn, like me, you might be interested to read this blog…… Continue reading Revisiting a colour-scheme
On colour-schemes
I’ve been thinking a lot about colour over the past year-and-a-bit. Maybe you’ve noticed? I’ve posted blogs on my colour-scheme planning, and M&B Patreons got lots of my musings about colour seasons and wardrobe colour-planning. I’ve even got a whole Pinterest board of ‘Warm Autumn’ inspiration! I was still ending up with outfits that I…… Continue reading On colour-schemes
Colour Palette Planning
Today I’m musing on planning a colour palette, and the info here is taken from a larger post that I’ve shared on the Muna and Broad Patreon, where I’ve been posting about colour theory. Today I wanted to try and codify why some of the colours are larger than others, what that means, and how…… Continue reading Colour Palette Planning
