May I present: my 2020 project in all its glory ❤️ This has been my biggest project to date or at least the most time consuming one. Being mainly a steampunk, historical accuracy was not my goal, but rather make it historical “agreeable” or historical “adequate” if there’s such a term. My main inspiration were 1880s.
Any suggestions for accessories?
Patterns used: Hat - Butterick - Making History B6397 Jacket - Burda 7880 (highly modified front part and sleeves) Underskirt - Truly Victorian TV261 - 1185 Four-Gore Underskirt Apron and Bustle - Truly Victorian TV365 - 1883 August Overskirt Corset - @cosplaymccalls Shapeshifter by @anachronisminaction
The corset is just an underbust paired with a bra because I currently don’t have an alternative, but making one is on my list. The bustle underskirt was bought from a theatre sale but is very similar to Truly Victorian TV108 - Grand Bustle.
Trimmings by @finefrenchlaces who happened to have the perfect shade of greyish blue. ______ #bustledress #bustle #trulyvictorian #tv365 #tv261 #victorian #costube #sewing #handmade #corset #burda #burda7880 #butterick #b6397 #costume #costumer #historical #historicalsewing #historicallyadequate https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo0GQ8jCzj/?igshid=mt3hvi6207gu
I’m trying to make some ornaments from vintage Butterick MLP patterns I bought some time ago. At first I was gonna do my fav ponies and then I thought, I’ll mix in some of those nirvanas I’ll never own! Gonna try to make a crap ton of these so I’ll post as I finish. Here’s Beach Ball to kick us off! #mlp #g1mlp #g1mylittlepony #mylittlepony #mlpchristmas #80schristmas #butterick #vintagesewingpatterns #beachball #tafponies #twiceasfancy #handmade #yello80s #80stoys #mlpmerch https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBvgX3OZsr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Fabric: Liberty London Tana Lawn. Lined with silk/cotton twill voile.
Modification: Added Pockets. Added heavy silk organza interlining on the bodice for structure.
Notes: This is a beautiful dress that comes together rather easily. Fit and flare style typical of the 50s with a smart collar. I could dance in this all day and night.
Possible Improvements: None that I can think of. This dress is simply perfect as is.
