The Best and Worst Tailoring

in The Scarlattan Theatre
Forgive me if this has been done before but... I thought it would be fun to share our favorite and least favorite clothing designs from Achaean shops or nds. Barrons is stuck in the lab while I entertain myself with this so I can't post examples for myself right now but I will! Let's see what you've all got.

    It has long since been lost, but when Mel and Glynn were novices, I found "a breast brooch" for sale in Delos, and bought it for him.

    Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. We still laugh about it, to this day.
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking
    Shown in this shaking                                                             Though crazy
    Lately of my wasteland, baby                                                 That's just wasteland, baby

    Maternity pants in Cyrene. I stay out of Cyrenian shops for many more reasons now...

    Hey, @Amunet? Mind posting my first go here? The 'blueprinty' robes?

    I believe these were designed for either Oenone or Misty

    Woven of the most finely spun and pristinely bleached wool, these robes represent a priest in 
    service of Justice. The weave is thin but durable, draping loosely about the wearer's body, covering 
    them almost fully but flowing easily with their movements. Over the heart is a pewter pin depicting 
    a sword bound by a serpent, symbolising Truth and Honour. The collar is stained a deep red, 
    representing sanctification with blood sacrifice.
    It has 59 months of usefulness left.
    It weighs about 3 pounds and 0 ounce(s).
    It is on the light side, offering some protection from the cold.
    It bears the distinctive mark of Halos.

    I don't normally like robes and just wear them because when I'm naked I'm always told to put something on, but I've grown fond of these.

    I only trust designs I made myself. Everything else tends to be too flashy and elaborate.

    P.S. Actually, I trust one other tailor as well. Tajira, the seamstress on Shala-khulia.

    Carmain's clothing is usually epic but at the moment it's green and indescribable

    Worst thing I've seen recently:

    This feminine collar of soft, cotton-candy pink leather is sure to be an eye-catching accessory around any female's neck. Lining the inner collar is downy white rabbit fur, ensuring a comfortable fit and perfectly complementing the light pink leather. On the 
    outside of the collar, stylised magpies have been imprinted in a repeating fashion around the entire accessory, the distinctive black and white plumage of the birds a sharp contrast to the girlish pink. Tiny rubies serve as the eyes of each magpie, glittering mischievously and flashing crimson in the light. A polished silver fist-shaped clasp holds the collar securely together, the fist gripping the ring tightly. Dangling from the leather is a D-ring loop, suitable for any leash to fit through. A small golden bell has been attached to the loop, tinkling merrily with each movement. Hanging from the front of the collar is a polished obsidian nameplate, a single name etched deeply into the obsidian and filled with silver.


    My avatar is an image created by this very talented gentleman, of whose work I am extremely jealous. It was not originally a picture of Amunet, but it certainly looks a great deal like how I envision her!

    @Amunet if that's a real design, that wins the thread. I couldn't sit down and write something that shudder-inducing if I deliberately tried.
  • WysteriaWysteria
    I'm more interested in how that got approved.

    Clearly it was designed for bdsm.

    Collar of submission with +50 to humiliation.



                   Honourable, knight eternal,

                                            Darkly evil, cruel infernal.

                                                                     Necromanctic to the core,

                                                                                             Dance with death forever more.



  • SkyeSkye The Duchess Bellatere
    But judging by the theme of that collar it's like a Pandoran bdsm type deal D:

    @Lianca's post liked because her signature matches my reaction to the fact she presents.

    I've lost a lot of my designs over the years thanks to decay and changing computers, but a recent one of mine that I'm incredibly fond of is this particular cloak, which I was smart enough to preserve:

    a rippling twilight shoulder cloak

    A twilight-blue cloak lies here in a river of wool.

    Vivid and dark like the seas at midnight is the twilight-blue cloth making up this luxurious shoulder cloak. Although consisting mainly of soft mohair wool, threads of silk have been woven into the cloth, giving it a faint lustre. This particular cloak is about half the width of its cousins and attaches at the left shoulder to one's armour beneath a shield-shaped patch of leather large enough for a coat of arms. Obviously intended for warmer climates, this woollen cloak is like a rippling river in the wind, but protects when wrapped around the shoulders. A tiny blue dragon silhouette clutching a gold cross lies hidden beneath the folds at the shoulder.

    I also designed some of the Warden items, namely the rapier, scimitar, and falconry glove, if you happen to spot them in-game.

    (Just to offer a positive design rather than a poor one!)

    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."

    O_O Where'd you find that? (I'm guessing Ashtan or Mhaldor) Or are you talking about the ones with tails?
  • AmunetAmunet Spokane, Washington, USA
    Shockingly, Ashtan and Mhaldor have the lowest proportion of sexalts, as far as I've been able to discern. Perhaps look at Hashan or Cyrene. ;)

    Mhaldor. It's one of Katia's designs.

    Man now I really want to know how these things get approved for sale. Creepy.

    At least if I ever run across newbies having sex in public in Mhaldor, I can just kill them instead of messing around with politely asking them to take it somewhere more private.

    I saw a barbed-wire G-string in Hashan not too long ago. I didn't even bother probing it for a detailed description.
