First costume entirely made with self-drafted patterns.
Pattern
To be posted. Many hours of refining the shoulder seam.
Finishing Details
Hand-sewn flat hook-and-eye claps on either corner to keep closed edges even.
Pattern & Fabric
Pattern to be posted. Fabric is thick upholstery leather.
Closures
This bodice has a hidden zipper plus hook and eye closures to don and doff without re-lacing the back every time. If made again, would find a way to hold down the side flaps so they don’t bow between the horizontal front straps.
Construction
Basic ‘Medieval’ shift pattern with bottom flared into a half circle skirt. Pattern to be posted.
Embroidery
Hand embroidered for too many hours (7 months of 40 minute lunch sessions and counting). I will cry if I have to replace this dress.
Pattern
Navy upholstery suede, lined with black non-static lining. Pattern to be posted.
