Halloween Town’s Finest Yet!

Mind you I have no prior experience in sewing, only the motivation to bring a character into life. So my work wasn’t entirely most efficient or methodical in the eyes of an expert

It started off slow, with me making attempts on the size. Here is my second attempt on making the dress shirt. Once I got the hold of it, on my third try I had something like this:

After that, I went ahead and made the cravat. It was fairly simple as I found many tutorials online. This is how it looked like! I also bought a charm that resembles his bolo tie perfectly! (Technically not considered a bolo tie, but for now let’s call it that)

Next part was his waistcoat, it took me two tries to get the measurements and fitting correctly. This was my first attempt:

And here is the final:

I added four buttons (diy’d with hot glue and metallic paint)

The pants were quite simple and self explanatory, done with just the second attempt.

And we have Jax!

Well partially. I still need to work on his tailcoat, I haven’t found the right material to work with, cause my initial fabric I wanted to use kept falling apart so for now I am just waiting for the fabric to come.

That’s my journey for now..

It's funny how so much merchandise of them, and even the Disney actors, use the line "Dearest Friends", but Jack and Sally are rarely ever treated as such in the comics, games, novels, etc...It's often boiled down to Jack not listening/caring about Sally, admitting she was 'right' after whatever havoc dies down and giving her his attention/affection only *then*, and Sally being way too shy to voice her concerns to Jack despite going right to his face trying to warn him about Christmas in the movie.

I think lots of potential is squandered when an author writes Jack and Sally as strangers/distant acquaintances instead of the, well, dearest friends that they ARE. I cannot express how close they would have to be to have Sally feel comfortable/confident enough to be the only one verbally against his 'Christmas', and as you said, Jack alluding to opening up to her when they're alone.

For a Disney couple that has a song where they directly acknowledge they're dearest friends, so much material and fan arguments keep saying they aren't. If the movie's focus was about Jack & Sally's relationship, then it would be exactly that, but it isn't, because it's about Jack taking over Christmas and learning a lesson about it. They don't have a lot of screen time together, but their dialogue, mannerisms around each other, and eventual romance all do a good job in showing the audience that they're familiar with each other, Jack considers Sally his dearest friend, and Sally is pining for him while being the only one in Halloween Town who truly understands how he feels.

Since Disney Mirrorverse is closing I have returned back to my roots. This whole exchange is killing me
