Grandma Farah
Added 2022-12-21 18:20:10 +0000 UTCIt's the first time you see grandparents in PBB, it's an event!!! :D
Farah is Caterina's mother. Caterina was conceived and born in Italy but Farah is a foreigner!
This will all make sense to you in a short while, but know that you already know it all, all along! :)
This time I also want to show you the references I use to create my character costumes.
I want to create something unique and original so I never copy an outfit precisely, but I take various models and choose the elements to compose my personal model.
I took one thing from each image for Farah, but these are not the only images I evaluated, I chose and selected them from 40 XD

You're welcome, Vanessa! ^o^ I had no idea the Italian folk wore traditional clothing even during the 2nd world war. OoO That's incredible. Thank you for also giving us more details into what inspired you with the costumes William and his family are wearing. :D That is very festinating. :3 And talk about the Florios being rich to have almost 100 merchant ships. O_O And while William's family may only grow citrus fruits, everyone needs their orange juices. ;3

2022-12-28 04:10:24 +0000 UTCThank you! The design of her dress is actually still current at the end of the 19th century, because in Italy traditional costumes have always been worn even during the Second World War, our great-grandmothers wore traditional costumes. I based myself on the costumes that were worn in the play La Cavalleria Rusticana, set in Sicily, and the year is 1890. Certainly "fashionable" clothes were also worn but only in the beautiful cities, not in the countryside. The richest of that period in Sicily were the Florio family, very famous, and they dressed in fashion, but they were really very rich. Between the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the Florios were among the wealthiest families in Italy, with an industrial tradition, protagonists of the period of the so-called Belle époque. The family came to have a fleet of ninety-nine ships. He had a corporate empire that ranged from chemicals to wine to tourism to the tuna industry. William's family is wealthy but not that much, owning a thriving citrus estate. The grandparents start from humble beginnings as farmers, so keep the traditional clothes. While daughter and grandchildren, being younger and already enjoying the well-being of the family, dress more fashionable. :)

OoO But she is very unique like how you made her, Vanessa. ^o^ This keeps getting me excited for the next page. >w<

" It would make sense for her to be English. Perhaps her maiden name's "Greenback" :) Well done on her outfit! Farah really lives up to her name ;)
