Decades Lookbook: The 1890's


Decades Lookbook: The 1890's


The 1890s were a transitional decade from the stiff Victorian Era to a new century. Urban centers were growing, and new technologies, such as the introduction of electricity into clothing manufacturing, produced a boom in the ready-to-wear market.

The “New Woman” of the era was an intellectual young woman who worked, cycled, and played sports. She wore skirts that were bell shaped and large sleeves called leg-o-mutton or gigot sleeves. Around 1897, the silhouette began to slowly shift with the introduction of the straight-front corset.

This lookbook is basically an homage to @vintagesimstress and @gilded-ghosts with a liiiittle @linzlu sprinkled on top. If you've wanted to start the decade challenge, look no further than these amazing creators!

Decades Lookbook: 1950's Part 2


Decades Lookbook: 1950's Part 2


Halfway through the 20th century, the social climate in the United States of America was oddly conservative and rebellious at the same time.

Fashion trends for women included tea length swing dresses with petticoats, slim sheath dresses, pencil and circle skirts (poodle skirts for teens), Capri pants, high-waisted jeans, and Peter Pan collar blouses. These outfits were worn with kitten or stiletto heels or saddle shoes and accessorized with small hats, scarves, hair flowers, pearls, gloves and/or brooches.

Masculine fashion trends included Letterman jackets, blue jeans, bowling shirts, slim fitting suits, skinny ties and leather jackets.

Two of my sims were based on Lucille Ball/Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page/fictional Wanda Woodward from 'Cry Baby'.

Shout out to @simtrospective​ for putting together this amazing 1950's masculine hair guide which made masc. hair shopping SO easy!

To be honest, I'm not super happy with my first 1950's lookbook...but I really like this one and I hope ya'll do too!

Hamilton: The American Musical Lookbook

Hamilton: The American Musical Lookbook


Like a lot of people, I was pretty obsessed with Hamilton in 2016. I was fortunate to see the show live in Los Angeles in 2017 (Emmy Raver-Lampman played Angelica!) and have watched it probably 7 times since the film dropped.  I didn't create the full cast because this is gigantic already, but you can easily make Aaron Burr, John Laurens/Philip, and Hercules Mulligan/James Madison out of these outfits too. For George Washington, just add a sash and a hat to the 18th Century Army uniform, as seen on Lafayette.

Decades Lookbook: 1970's Part 2

Decades Lookbook: 1970's Part 2


Transitioning from the Swinging Sixties to the Disco era gave 1970's clothing new colors, patterns and textures. Polyester jumpsuits, fringe jackets, flared pants, maxi dresses and retro T-shirts were just a few of the popular styles in the 70's. 

If I did my job right, you ought to be able to tell that three of my sims were inspired by women who were famous musicians during the 1970's: (from L to R, first pic, 2nd position): Donna Summer, Cher and Stevie Nicks. 

Both Donna and Cher were disco icons, though Cher is the queen of reinventing herself and had hits in the 80's and 90's (Believe was my jam) and a big acting career. As Donna and Cher were disco performers, they opted for more revealing clothing plus lots of glitter, sequins, feathers and furs. Cher is often credited as the first woman to show her navel on TV during The Sonny and Cher Show, but it was actually three women on the 1960's series Star Trek. Cher Inspiration:  Photo 1 | Photo 2

Donna Summer is known as the mother of dance music; her gospel-trained voice combined smooth vocals with beats made for the dance floor. As she created her signature sound, her style also became an important factor in her stage presence. Donna Inspiration: Photo 1 | Photo 2

Now there's Stevie Nicks. If I ever don't know what to listen to, I put on The Chain. And then I likely repeat it a few times. Stevie aesthetic is boho hippie witch and is known for wearing oversize, billowing silhouettes. She loves to wear multiple textures at the same time (ie: chiffon, velvet, satin, lace, fringe) Many of the details she’s been wearing for decades are re-emerging as trends on runways and in street style.

This is my second 70's lookbook, check out my first one (with some masculine looks) and the rest of my previous decade lookbooks here.
