Progress Report
Did you know the GoS July Monthly Theme is Yesterday Is History, a catchall historical theme? Yeah, I'm working on a huge content dump. Trouble is, it's mostly underwear. So far:
CF-EF barefoot short smocks in 8 linen colors
CF-EF short smocks in 8 linen colors with chausses and garters in 82 color combinations
TF-EF braises with breast bindings in 8 linen colors
All complete-ish (I need to do some category-and-tooltip fiddling on the bindings and braises). But still in progress:
TF-EF braises and tuttensacks after the Lengberg Castle finds in 8 linen colors (I am working on the textures now)
CF-EF slim shifts in 8 linen colors
CF-EF loose shifts in 8 linen colors
And then, goddammit, I am making bottom-only kirtles with top-only shifts, stockings, and plackets in all 82 colors, because I will have done ALL THE UNDERWEAR. (I actually hate making underwear. I hate it so much. I've always hated making, even just sewing it for dolls, because it is boring. But I NEED it to make everything ELSE work, so what can I do? Underwear first, and then the fun stuff, that way if the underwear needs to show I already have those textures finished.)
A similar list of things is planned for men, but might not happen in time for the theme:
CM-EM barefoot braises in 8 linen colors
CM-EM braises in 8 linen colors with chausses in 82 colors
CM-EM barefoot shirt in 8 linen colors
CM-EM shirt in 8 linen colors with chausses in 82 colors (men apparently need that much more underwear than women I don't know)
CM-EM long smock in 8 linen colors
And then 82 bottom-only chausses and 82 top-only tunics, naturally. Although I'm actually not sure if I have the men's shirt and smock meshes I want for all the ages I need, my own copy of my to-do list has big question marks for the child sizes.
Really, I just need to get that said. Things are happening. Progress is being made.

... Well, provided that they're working with a compatible period ... there will probably still be demand for Rococo petticoats and Victorian corsetry. ;)
I've got some separates in the works too -- I just need to decide whether I want to do another sleeve option for the nobles. And then I have to get my ass in gear for previews. But hopefully they'll be ready for the theme!
Good luck, Hat!

I'm sticking with two tops, for now-- the straight sleeve for my placket kirtles and the straight sleeve loose for... for I'm not sure what, but I want to use it. Since separates can be texture-referenced, I'm seriously considering doing a second set of skirts with aprons and/or belts added.
