Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??
Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!
(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)
It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.
A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end
Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!
Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.
Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)
Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…
When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes
Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.
But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life
The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing
Friendly reminder that while cosplaying Spider Gwen is awesome, wearing actual pointe shoes without formal training isn’t! Pointe shoes are expensive, uncomfortable and you could get seriously hurt! You’d be much better off with some neon turquoise Chuck Taylor’s or non-pointe ballet shoes 😄 Never sacrifice your safety for accuracy.
I an attest!!!! Ballet for a few years in these and they are VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!! Please be safe!!
As someone with pointe training this is a big thing for displaying ANY character that wears pointe shoes. There are many online tutorials for coloring flat ballet shoes which i would highly recommend as they will give you the same look but without the pain and possible ankle breaking damage of wearing pointe shoes without proper training! Even if youve taken dance classes, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WEAR POINTE SHOES WITHOUT POINTE TRAINING because of how different the techniqure for pointe shoes is!!!
my art, slapping me mercilessly: stop pretending that a simple box of color counts as a background you stupid sonuvabitch u stupid motherfucker stop it
me, spitting out blood: w h ,,at if it had a gradient tho,,
