SnappyDragon | Sewing Wonder for the Wondersmith || the 1910 Poppy Dress @SnappyDragon | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 7 minutes ago.
Making art with a chronic illness is hard, whether it's historical costuming and sewing, ceramics, cooking, or anything else. My dear friend the Wondersmith knows better than most what it's like to create while living with chronic pain. To celebrate her still being here, I designed and sewed a historical dress for her based on Titanic era fashions! This 1910 dress, with an empire silhouette and tulip-shaped skirt drapery, is based on the Hungarian Breadseed Poppy whose seed pods had been a focus of the Wondersmith's art. The process became a metaphor for what it's like to make art with a chronic illness, and the struggle between inaccessible standards, being inspirational, and being real.
