Hey, it's me. Hannah.
Happy pride! As a bi woman. In a heteronormative marriage, I haven't always felt like Pride Month was really for me. But over the last few years, I've gotten more and more involved. And while Richmond's pride fest is in until September, I still wanted to do something to celebrate here in June and fresh from a couple of trips to the Ren Fair.
And with social algorithms targeting my bisexuality, I know what I have to do. I simply must create the perfect bi pirate look inspired by the bisexual flag.
Now, as far as I'm aware, a year or two back, someone on Tik Tok just canonized the fact that all bisexuals have pirate clothing in their closet. This kicked off the bi pirate movement, and if you search by pirate or pirate on any of your social feeds, you too can experience bi panic.
I wasn't able to find that original creator. So if you know, feel free to drop a comment. But I did find that I wasn't the first person to come up with the idea of developing a bi pirate look based off a bi flag. @meganciafre on Tik Tok has a couple of videos where she puts together a similar look, and she sells pirate apparel as well. So look her up.
But I have a specific look in mind, so I'm going to break out my sewing machine again.
So for my bass player, I was thinking of doing something between a corseted over dress and a pirate vest. And I've always been really inspired by the look of the Amelia over dress from holy clothing, specifically the laces going down the front. But I do know that I want a lower neckline. It's five months, so I'm going to use the Butterick 4669 corset pattern and just extend the pattern pieces to a maxi dress length, being sure to add some extra room for my hips by widening the pieces once we move down from the waistline. I've already cut these pieces out. So let's get to sewing.
All right. Because I am who I am proudly, I didn't make any of this up. And I realized in the original four-panel design that I just had not left enough room for my hips. So taking some more inspiration from the holy clothing design, I decided to add little pockets. I'm not sure if it's right. Is it? It refers to the part of your shirt where the button buttonholes are placed. Yeah, black it? So I've added pockets to either side of the front seam, which made room for my hips. But I wasn't really thinking and I didn't make any adjustments to the front and side panels of the dress where they meet at the armhole. So I need to either fade the pockets out as we get to the armhole or I need to make adjustments to the front and side panels to essentially make room for the new fabric that's added by adding a pocket. So I'm gonna play around with that and see where we land. But once that is complete, I can go ahead and add the eyelets and the lacing and hem up the skirt and I'll be done.
All right. Under the corset. Now, I would like to do an under-bust corset that comes down a little bit lower on my hips and then comes to a point in the front. I'm planning on using this material that I got from my grandmother-in-law. It's a little bit of a heavier material, but I am just too in love with the color. Since I don't have a pattern that matches the shape that I'm looking for, I'm going to try and draft up my own using the duct tape method.
I got to say I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. The pieces themselves. I don't know if I am particularly amped on, but all together, the look as it all came together, which was of course the goal was, I could definitely see myself wearing this to a pride parade or a, you know, a fun pride event. It feels flamboyant enough and also at the same time, very niche and very me. The final piece to tie everything to the bisexual flag was the sash, which ended up just being a piece of fabric I picked up from a local craft store. I probably could have spent more time finishing it and making it look nice, and I might do that in the future. But I ended up having a little bit of a time crunch before heading out to grab some photos and some final shots for this video. So there's definitely some pieces of the construction here that just aren't it. This is not my most technically savvy piece. It's ...
