Commissions: Open (Netbook)

[neckromancy]

Alright, given the state of how things have transpired rather recently enough, I suppose it wouldn't hurt for me to do my part in bringing back a bit of levity.

No offense, darlings, but quite a few of you have been looking a bit... Questionably rough in not the most flattering of ways. Therefore, out of the kindness of my heart, I come to you all with an offer; I happen to be quite well versed in the ways of a couturier, and have found myself with a bit too much free time in the rare moments the world is not going to pure and utter shit around here.

Should you find yourself wanting fresh, less worn clothing, I have some materials I wouldn't mind putting to use. Feel free to jot down such requests here, or draw out a design for me to glance over. Applications will be completed from the order of what I find most interesting to work on to the ones I find the most boring, so do try to have at least a little creativity concerning said designs.

And, of course, should you find yourself in need of repairs rather than a new wardrobe, I am quite capable of handling that as well. Payment in the form of valuables is preferred, although I am willing to accept the promise of a favor or two should you find your pockets too empty to meet such requirements.

[ Just going to ignore the everything not the offer in true PV fashion. ]

Ah, what a kind offer, your Highness! Though I'm afraid my own style would be rather boring for your tastes, I do have a request, if you've the time!

[ He can't block Dark Cacao from seeing this, but the man is going to need clothes that aren't armor. He will bake. So Pure Vanilla will doodle the best he can. He will leave off the cape, that may be worthwhile next Winter but not for the upcoming heat... ]

Of course, I will be glad to offer what I can in payment!

[PV's design - just as Taliira's - spends a minute or so being examined before a proper reply comes. Before then, a few editions of his own messy doodling are added beside the illustration, mostly to properly visualize how to achieve the proper shaping via how he can get the fabric to lay.]

Hem wise, would you prefer that patterning to manifest as embroidery, or for it to be an appliqué fabric design? I can easily do either, mind, but I have a bit more experience with the former.

[purevanillacookie]

[ Pure Vanilla will ponder the doodles, but not have much to offer. He's not a clothier, after all, and can see it as the other thinking visually. ]

I will leave that up to your judgement! I am afraid I'm not well versed in what makes a good outfit in the least, my own Kingdoms designs fell on the simple side.

["Embroidered Design" gets added next to the drawing, with an arrow pointing to the hem.]

It tends to take a practiced eye to note all the intricacies of a pattern, so that's as unsurprising as it is reasonable. I don't suppose you have measurements on hand, do you? If not, I'd be happy to walk you through how to take them if you need the guidance, or I can meet with you to take them myself. The design itself isn't terribly form fitting, so they don't need to be quite as precise as they might have needed otherwise.

[purevanillacookie]

I do not, I'm afraid, but that at least I am versed well enough in that it should be a simple enough matter to get you those! And yes, I can certainly say the layers mostly hang, though I must admit I am entirely unsure how. As they were icing back home.

[ Cookie. ]

Thank you, your Highness, this will make a great gift, and I truly am not sure how to pay you back. It may take me a moment to get those measurements to you, but I shall do so as soon as I am able.

[In different very fancy handwriting:]

Thank you. We will have the needed measurements soon

[ He won't nag PV about this cuz for once his fussing is very practical- his armor and under clothing is really not day to day practical- especially for his less crispy body ]
