it’s easier than it seems if u get a pattern and take ur time. clothes are constructed in such specific ways that once u know why something does what it does ull be able to find off the rack stuff that you like so much easier just by seeing how it’s built. plus then you can also more easily repair ur stuff! it‘s a crucial skill n it’s wild how many people dont know how what theyre wearing was sewn

If you're trying to learn how to sew but you're too scared to jump into a full-blown project, lowkey I think deconstructing clothes you don't like & then sewing them back together again with the stitches you know can be great practice! You have 0 loss too because I mean hey, it wasn't a top you were gonna wear anyway
If engineers can take shit apart and put it back together, so should we lol

if you haven’t already. this will save you lots of time and money in the long run, you get screwed less often when you understand more parts of the process at a higher level and will make better clothes

time frame's approximate buuuut you know it when you hear it. think "poker face". there is so much space and everything's so dry... there is no lushness... the drum samples are unbelievably flat... and yet! and yet! it works so well! the economy of production makes any pop singer's vocals soar even higher than they would otherwise, and really pares the machine of a pop song down to its bare necessities... which is why i think we got so many bangers in this period. there's a lot of good stuff to get into even if it's just for nostalgia

tbf i'm still working on this but: many ppl have the tendency to like, put themselves out in the world with an attached asterisk like "oop! sorry i exist! oop! sorry if you don't like me, i'm working on being the universally beloved human object! oop!" and thusly pre-apologize for every mildly annoying or perceptually uncouth action they will ever take. none of that shit. assuming one is regular and not trying to like, destroy the lives of everyone around themselves, one does not need to constantly explain and apologize for their actions. trust people to tell you if you suck, because They Will.
same goes for art obvs. don't apologize just make it and if people think it sucks they'll tell you.
