I finished school at 3.45pm, to catch a train from my local station at 4.40pm. An 18 minute delay in boarding, turning into a 36 minute in arriving into London, I have been through security and passport control at St Pancras, and I finally feel like I am on my way. #AndRelax ##ARIRANG #ParisD2

It's still too fucking warm to do anything involving an iron, but needs must. Pleating is complete, waist ties are made and attached to the waistband, one side of the waistband has been attached to the body of the skirt. Next, approx 1.5m of hand slipstitching on the i side of the waistband 😐
Photo scrambled up black and white Gingham fabric, on a wooden kitchen table with a sky blue cutting mat. It is just about possible to make out pleating and a wide reinforced waistband of a skirt, along with one narrower fabric tie.

The leather and such in the first part of the show, and the many, many layers all the way through are illogical; the beanies have broken my brain.

I'm sorry. Knowing what the temperatures in the UK have been this week, all I can think is,"why are these (beautiful, beloved) bellends wearing wool and fleece beanies?"

Even though it is far too warm to be doing anything involving an iron, with deeply uncharacteristic preparedness, I have began making one part of my outfit for #ARIRANG in #Paris I might need more pins. [Hello btw.! Catching up with everyone's tour photos this afternoon has been 🥰]

Part of the fabric closest to the camera is pinned in pleats, while most is still flat to the table. A small pile of sewing pins and a pair of small scissors is visible on the far right of the frame.

You may well be right, I am not at all technically minded 🤷‍♀️ I was feeling a little tantrum-y earlier, but I've had something to eat now and the feeling has subsided. Such a cliché!

@yrrweg.bsky.social @purplekett.bsky.social From reading around the skyline, it seems there was a delay on the 4K version of the stream, but the transmission ended when the HD version ended. I would've expected Weverse to be aware of that though, and made plans. Cinema showing on Saturday!

I promise I haven't forgotten about this, if anyone was waiting; I was just trying the last week of term before I started it, and then I was ill last week. It will be done soon, but probably via an Instagram account/link.

I hadn't thought about that, I was worried about weirdos trying to get up on stage with them! I really did love seeing them do their circuit, especially with Joon on his little throne truck (and the bonus Mr Lee sighting).

Did Weverse just cut the transmission after it reached two and a half hours? My livestream disappeared part way through Into The Sun, with a message saying the event had ended.

I'm up, I'm up, I'm up.... Earliest I've been up all Easter hols, to be honest. I have tea (fresh in a cup, and in a flask for later consumption), I have biscuits (no time to cook breakfast), and I have both sound and vision on my mirrored TV. I'm sad the Seoul weather isn't being kind.

Also, with apologies if I'm rehashing points already made... Not only did the overlapping horizontal pleats, sashes and skirts, and hardware/studs, help the cohesion of the overall group look, they reminded me of the armor that Eastern nation armies wore in their middle eras.

Lissie @wisewombat.bsky.social · 21/03/2026
I working on finding patterns for #SewingArmy to recreate some of the looks they wore. I've a pretty good idea for Joon and Yoongi's shirts, and Jin, Tae, and Hobi's jackets, plus the backing dancers trousers, already. I'll do a breakdown thread once I have full details.

The small covered buttons on the front closure are framed by a wiggly applique of gathered ribbon in the same fabric. The edge of the top coat also has a gathered ribbon finishing but this follows the curved line of the seam instead of creating a wave.The reflection of the back of a shot silk Robe à la Française in a mirror embedded in the rear of a display case.

Photo of the vack if a Robe à la Française, showing the sack back attached to, and falling from, the neckline of the bodice. The fabric is fine white muslin over a pink lining, creating a faint blush effect. The muslin has a faint vertical striped woven into it and there is a floral pattern woven into the voids if the stripes.Photo of a fragment of heavily embroidered and sequined cream silk. Golden thread creates bows and geometric shapes, while green and purple thread make up the foliage and flowers. Purple sequins are also sewn into the flower petals, and on the base fabric in places. Regrettably, the photo doesn't pick up how much the fabric from the 18th century still shimmers in the light.Close up of heavily embroidered cream linen, with various shades of pink, green, and gold thread used to create floral patterns along a border. Thought to be a sampler, carried by merchants in the 1700s, to demonstrate the skills of their craftswomen. Close up of a fabric fragment, believed to be part of a gown worn by Marie-Antoinette. Black and white threads are embroidered onto (what is now) salmon pink silk in a comet tail pattern moving from bottom to top, with a silver sequin as the comet.

If, like me, you are feeling attacked by Kim Namjoon, please find some respite in some photos of some #Namjooning I did yesterday at the V & A's Marie-Antoinette exhibition N.B. I have NEVER seen queues or packed galleries at the museum like the ones I saw yesterday.

The blurred florals and stripes are also more noticeable.Photo of a pink and cream vertical striped Robe a l'Anglaise.

Do you eat meat and/or fish? If so, you should be fine in most restaurants from what I can remember. The place I was going to recommend next, Esta-se Bem, is apparently closed temporarily 🤷‍♀️ Muralha do Rio is pretty good. The view is better than the food but the food is (was) decent.

Mix equal parts water and vodka and put it in a spray bottle, then do a patch test on the inside/less noticeable area. It won't properly disinfect it like a (machine or hand) wash with detergent would but it should get rid of any musty smells.

I would love for there to be so many more Europe shows included in the little footnote that said further countries and dates are being announced for 2027 later on. And, I'm not going to lie, I'll be hoping to attend a few of those potential dates too.

Lissie @wisewombat.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
I would very much love that! I'm going to start on my freebies soon too; I'm going to try a new craft-y thing so I want a lot of time to get somewhere approaching not shit at it. I'm probably staying in Belleville, until at least the Tuesday (21st).

Probably Scandinavia too. I've seen a lot of UKMY try for Paris and Madrid because they had weekend shows. It's what I did. If I went to the London dates, I'd have to drive down after finishing at school, and then drive straight back, the same night.

If we go purely on population and we count the UK as Europe, the number of people in the European countries that already have dates, plus Italy, is approximately the same number of people as are in the US. Europe has ten dates on this tour, so far. The US has 24.

There was a news story a while back about a student whose usual London to Newcastle commute for a once a week internship involved flying into Amsterdam and out again because it was cheaper and quicker, with no luggage, than the train.

I'm considering Madrid, but the travel is a lot - if I get a ticket for D-2 I would have to fly to Barcelona on the Friday, stay overnight, get the train to Madrid, ARMY it up, then fly home on Sunday from somewhere else in Spain. Toronto is better, I can see family at the same time!

I'm going to try on Saturday during general sale, and see what prices are like. I found one ticket a couple of hours ago but apparently you have to buy two tickets at least in presale - there was not two tickets to buy!
