No - evocative.

I could take you seam by seam to talk about how it differs.

Different waistline, different structural approach to the notch, COMPLETELY different skirt, different sleeves, different armscye, different closures.

Both dresses are based on a robe d'anglaise.

But, hey, Space Wizard is based on kimono!

Because you can't copyright clothing.

Dresbach, however, threw a HUGE temper tantrum about the simplicity pattern, and attacked American Duchess - the people commissioned by Simplicity to do the work.

Ahhhh..... Ok, now I think I'm tracking.

Wait.

Today, modern designers can copyright stuff?

Now, even assuming that she had a leg to stand on about her designs being "stolen" (which she didn't) - to direct that nastiness at AD instead of simplicity is not right.

Nope! People do knock-offs all the time.

They can't sell it with a Calvin Klein label, or trademarked logo, but they can create their own pattern and heavily mimic the style.

A lot of stuff at, say, H&M is knocked off of designer pieces.

Ok, fair.

AND, to add to the Outlander designers POS hypocrisy, SHE blatantly copies stuff from other designers.

Is this established in law?

yes

Ok, fair question is all.

Outlander costume

This is ripping off one of the most iconic Dior pieces of the twentieth century

fuck it, one of the most iconic pieces, PERIOD, of the 20th century

Dior's Bar Suit -

Ok, well..... sounds like she shit the bed.

The bar suit is famous - it introduced Dior's "New Look" - wasp waist, big skirt - that radically shifted fashion from 1940s wartime austerity to 1950s femininity

Yeah, so I don't like her, because she's a douche.

....I get opinions.

But the Outlander costumes are lovely, and do a lovely fusion of periods. If Dresbach weren't such a thunderbeast, I'd like them even more and respect how lovely her Dior tribute is.

make sense?

Yes.

Anyhow

you wanna do anything?

Yes, but I will sleep soon.

fair

But I love that you have shown me thisl

I can go on a soapbox about a fair number of things.

I have opinions!

I've been told it can be amusing to see me on a tear

I got to see Deadpool 2. One of us stayed behind.

Because, you know, B.

oy

Well, said Housemate also had to do homework

still

Yup. Oh, we have baby gates up to keep our own geratric beagle from going down the steps or shitting down the hallway, and B complained about them, and we said we'd move them when she liked but they were for the dogs, not her and that the beagle might trip her up because he doesn't understand space or boundaries at his state. I think she didn't believe us. Guess who tripped over the beagle 5 minutes ago?
