The video garnered millions of views—not from her core demographic, but from stressed-out grad students and burnt-out tech workers. Rachael Cavalli’s true artistic achievement may be her inadvertent destruction of a stereotype: that the body and the mind are mutually exclusive. She has become a Rorschach test for the digital age. To one viewer, she is pure fantasy. To another, she is a performance artist satirizing the transactional nature of intimacy. To a third, she is simply a very shrewd businesswoman who realized that the rarest commodity online is not nudity, but earnest intelligence .
Cavalli leaned into the bit with a dry wit that caught everyone off guard. She began posting "Office Hours" on her social media—short, deadpan videos where she answered fan questions not about her work, but about cognitive bias, time management, and the myth of Sisyphus. In one now-famous clip, she stares directly into the camera and says: "You think you want me. But what you actually want is someone to tell you that your chaotic life can be organized. I can't do that. But I can show you a spreadsheet." rachaelcavalli
In an era of over-sharing, Rachael Cavalli remains an enigma wrapped in a controlled aesthetic. She proves a singular point: the most interesting figures in pop culture aren't the ones who tell you everything. They are the ones who give you just enough rope to build your own mythology. The video garnered millions of views—not from her

Can’t afford the fabric? Get yourself to a thrift store and find a curtain or tablecloth and use that

Absolutely! Thrift stores are treasure troves! You can often find beautiful curtains, tablecloths, or even bedsheets that make amazing fabric for sewing. And don’t forget to check the fabric bins—some secondhand shops also carry unused fabric at a fraction of the price!

Hi! If I intend to use the basic bodice size S, which size of the sleeve should I use as guide??? Also, if you don’t mind the question, where can I find you pattern’s size charts?
Thank you so much! I’ve been subscribed to your newsletter for some time now and this will be my first project involving hacking patterns 💕

Hi! That’s wonderful to hear – Keeping my fingers crossed for your first pattern hacking project !
For the size chart, you can check it out here:

And here’s the matching sleeve drafted to fit this basic block:

That way, if you’re using the bodice in size S, you can just follow the sleeve in the same size for a good fit.
Happy sewing and thank you so much for following along
