We have almost completed the corset, I have 3 more flat felled seams to sew, all the boning channels, then binding and just adding the cord with which to pull it all together. I ended up just giving my chemise a good washing, I could not be bothered to make a new one.
I found a little brooch to wear at the bust of the dress today, it's a lighter blue than the one in Queen Victoria's portrait, found it at a $2 store in Figtree.
My mate is doing another short film for his film school, a fantasy medieval thing. And asked if I would like to do the costumes. I have more time with this one, unlike the diocese costumes.
So far all I know is there are 3 main characters, an evil prince, a farmers daughter and the hero I suppose.
I know I'll need 2 cloaks for woman and the man, the prince, I'm not sure. But he'll probably be in darker colours, for the woman, I'm looking at paintings and colours, it's an Irish setting. She is a farmers daughter after all so not a high station, but that's perfectly fine by me. Less detail!
About Me
- Cait
- South Coast, New South Wales, Australia
- I am a woman who loved dressing up so much she never grew out of it. I am a receptionist for an accountant on the south coast of NSW, with a love of all things historically orientated, particularly historical clothes/costumes. And you pretty much have to drag me away from Antique shops and fairs. But mind you, this is all an elaborate cover up for my undercover espionage.
