To be honest, this helps with sewing and designing clothes. It gives a point of reference for what you want.
i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

i was like three pics in when i just wanted to Google the name of a girl from Soul Eater Not! And it deleted my damn progress 😭😭😭 i was panicking but then Tumblr was like "Aha, actually, we just saved it in ur drafts without telling you:>" so uh..
Anyways, This ones for you river-is-transmasc:>>
Soo I got inspired a lil bit to draw Big Sis Magne again, but THIS TIME she's got different outfits on! Because we can all agree that she needs more than that Orange jacket and Jean combo. (Not that it's bad, it's just a lil plain compared to the other villains ykyk) soo i took the liberty of giving Magne the outfits she NEEDS. Starting up, we have this random fit I made that started off everything.
Even though there's no colours cause, y'know, I don't got em, I'll describe it to you. She's got a thigh length Hot pink Leopard print dress with some frill on the straps and top hem (I think that's what it's called). With a blue jean jacket on, (complete with a trans pin, cuz trans icon), baby pink heels and a Anklet :>>
honestly I like the dress idea on her, reminds me of those 2000s Halloween duct tape dresses but like In a good way
Next up, we have two outfits. The first outfit on the Left, she's got a sleeveless cream coloured cropped top that was originally supposed to be a flower shaped top, but I chickened out cause I didn't know how to draw it and make it look good, so I just drew the top with a pattern mimicking sweater pattern. She's got some light blue jeans on, and silver bracelets.
On the Right, I drew her in a [I (heart) J P] shirt (JP meaning the abbreviation of Japan). This one was based off of Liz's 'I heart New York' shirt in Soul Eater Not!, cause I got the first two books from my school's library for free!
I also gave her an Eye design cause I'm 80% sure we never see her eyes without her sunglasses on. So uhh yeah, time to get creative
And next, we have her in a large loose sweater with sleeves that go just past the elbow with a Yellow and Green Hill wavey pattern. Over a white dress shirt and pinkish full Shorts. This one Was based off of Tsugumi's Death Bazaar flea market outfit from Soul Eater Not!, that's two cameos inna row! I even drew her in Tsugumi's pose
This one has Magne in a bright yellow turtleneck, with a green tank top with white stripes. This was actually based off of one of Veronica's beautiful outfits in the Old Archie Comics, specifically the outfit she wore in 'Archie in a Sappy Tree' minus the tag pearl necklace, and plus the lil ponytail.
Here's the outfit inspo: ↓
This mext one wasn't REALLY a outfit, I just liked the idea of Magne getting her face Squished, thought it was cute/funny :>>
LooK at that round face-
-✿ squish ✿-
And finally we have Magne in that popular slash sorta popular slash maybe popular Strawberry cottage core Dress! I even put a lil strawberry hair accessory (forgot the name.. i wanna say clasp.) in her hair.
I was originally gonna go for Sanrio since I thought she seeme dlike a My Melody kinda girl, but I couldn't find good outfut inspo soo I just drew her in a Dress. Its pretty tho
Don't mind the smudge, I'm just Right handed and have very sweaty palms that like to show up whenever i wanna D R A W.
and that's all the drawings I have for this post, I'll probably draw some more Big sis Magne in the future since she needed more screen time and im sour about it,
Hope Y'all enjoyed! :>>>
Here's some Overhaul doodles I drew in mah new 'DESIGNER JOURNAL' i got for christmas! plus one Magne drawing cause I got upset that she barely had proper screen time
I didn't draw much
so
uh
yeeah
I was gonna draw more but i decided to abandon ship because of a crazy ass d r e am loll
I've never really drawn Overhaul before, at least his head, and ngl this whole page was me trying to figure out how to draw his hair without it making it look like he has a bigg ass forehead- and- uh- well- yeeeeah.
He's definitally a Drama Queen, that green jacket WITH the purple fur??? like- AND he wears it with confidence??
slay.
In this one I tried remaking my 'Egirl Overhaul' pic I drew for shits and giggles, If i can find where it is i'll post it for you all to see
Overhaul: Kurono do NOT talk to me, I'm doing my mascara.
THIS MAN'S EYELASHES THO. WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD??? like either he has really good genetics or he purposely does mascara on just his bottom lashes
just- this cutie patootie...
who does-
child abuse
Have some Magne because she deserves Justice
JUSTICE FOR MAGNE.
anyways-
here's one of my favourites I made
now, WHY did I draw Overhaul with two small sharks crawling over him like puppy dogs?
well, y'all about to loose yer damn mind
BECAUSE HE H A S SHARKS!!
LOOK AT HIM!! HE'S A SHARK DAD!!! WTH SHARK CHIDLREN!!!
soo context, I bought a overhaul action figure for christmas (since it was the only mha fig in the store but we ain't gon talk about that-) and my parents got me this shark excavation kit for christmas. aaand once I found how tiny the sharks were (the excavation area was so big tho?? tf Natintonal geographic?? waste???) I decided to give them to Overhaul! and they fit in his arms so perfectly I made it canon that he has sharks.
I. freakin love Sharks.
ANYWHO.
hope yah enjoyed
I'll defintally go and find the Egirl Overhaul pic. I think I drew Egirl Dabi & Shigaraki too, and MAYBE aizawa but I can't remember...
I belon infederal prison-

I think the best way to describe my fashion style is ‘confused time-traveller who learned 21st century fashion by watching fantasy movies’.
I feel absolutely fabulous wearing a swooshing cape and poofy skirts to walk around town by the way.
I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don't put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.
Absolutely LOVE these new shirts! On sale now!

✨ Saillrye trio ✨
° A young woman who's a dimension adventurer, basically travels to different dimensions as a career. Has good hearing and eyesight. She loves cakes, cats and is playful. She's also the mom of the group, which can make her bossy at times. Has a younger brother named Whisper.
° He's a top pilot, often being the driver of the group when it comes to aircrafts. He's knows how to be cool as a cucumber when it comes to stressful situations which the opposite can be said about Blue-My boy here is deaf, so he communicates viva sign language or uses hologram projectors. He's an only child.
° She's always eager to go on new adventures! She's resourceful and can be demanding at sometimes. Has a love for roses, ballet, swords, and swordfighting. Has two older brothers and a sister in law. Has a pet gecko. Her best friend lives in a different dimension, she's also a godmother to her bestie kid.
Fun facts: Ferry is the oldest of the group by 1 year. They're roommates, living in a big ole house that Mr.Fawn (Blue papá) owns. They all have love for chocolate cake. Lilian knows how to DJ and he's a early bird in the morning. Lilian and Blue like to compete in dance competition. They all like to race on hover bikes. Blue has kids in a whole different dimension. The dimension they live in is futuristic, but the dimension (Saillrye) they were born in is medieval. Their parents are close friends. Blue is a princess/ future leader of the dimension travel agency. (I'll find a better name for it)
HAI I finished putting a design on a plain tank top i have
it’s brass knuckles but with a heart in one of the fingers x3
I DONT HAVE A PICCY OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT this is of me working on it, BUT THE DESIGN BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE THAT
i wore it today and it was great :))) got so many compliments
This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.
Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic? She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing. But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great. She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success. So - what gives?
His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrity’s body, including their outfits when they’re out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear. Jeans, blazers, dresses - everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles. He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses. You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on. Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered. He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit. That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps can’t ever find a pair that doesn’t gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.
I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while I’m wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things don’t fit right, and the world is just unfair that way. I didn’t think that having everything tailored was something that people did.
It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t know this. But no one ever told me. I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your “problem areas” and avoiding horizontal stripes. No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.
I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where I’ve succeeded and failed. I thought about all the times I’ve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way it’s supposed to. No one told me that it wasn’t supposed to. I guess I just didn’t know. I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didn’t fit.
I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are “wrong,” who can’t find a good pair of work trousers, who can’t fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn’t mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.
I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.
So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while. But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe we’re not. Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldn’t find a cute pair of jeans, and didn’t know why.
Since I drew so many outfits and accessories for Niffty I figured why not let people play dress up with her?
Here’s the transparent version:
And here’s the sheets with all her accessories:
Please, someone print these out and dress her up!!!

Alternate Overlord Niffty Outfits I Was Considering:

Overlord Niffty Notes:
Outfits:
All her outfits are based on ones from the 1950s (at least according to Pinterest and Google Images) or what came from my imagination.
I used ladybugs as inspiration for her outfits (since they can be red or yellow with bits of black and white).
Niffty’s holding a cane/large needle to reference some old Niffty art Vivziepop made (also because it made her feel more refined).
Bug Stuff:
Added antennas and retractable wings (that Alastor ripped off) to make her more bug-like.
Added back her yellow complexion from the pilot (because I liked it).
Weird big legs because they're fun.
Makeup:
Added lipstick and removed her cheeks (she covered them up with makeup).
Put her hair in a bun to reference Audrey Hepburn.
The fake beauty mark is a reference to Marlyn Monroe.
Niffty’s done all of this in an effort to make herself look more ‘mature’ and to be taken seriously.

Overlord Niffty!!! Inspired by @redladydeath’s wonderful (and incredibly dark) RAM AU! ( @randomly--accessed--memories) As soon as they mentioned making an Overlord Niffty design I had to make my own as well. Like Velvette I’d imagine Niffty would wear multiple outfits. The rest are down below!:
I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!
