Progress photos for updated (hopefully final) version of this gear:



I have to put on a waistband and pocket lining but otherwise woooooooohooooooo

Im heading to bed because I have work in the morning and I do have things to do before work so likely I won’t be able to finish it tomorrow morning but hopefully in the evening I’ll be able to get the waistband in at least and then I can start planning the jacket.

[Transcript] When making clothes is your main hobby, eventually you’re gonna get to a place where you have more clothes than is honestly reasonable or useful to you.

(I) swear this problem is probably ten times worse when you’re into costuming. The amount of stuff that I have that I made ’cause it sounded fun, but I’ve never actually worn it anywhere is, frankly, embarrassing.

But that’s actually kind of the great thing about tiktok.

Now when I make something excessively elaborate for literally no reason and with nowhere to wear it, I can just show you guys instead!

When I need to straighten out my layers I just: [jumps up and down]

Today the look is “18th century garden party” and the occasion is nothing.

Weirdly this is one of the cheapest big fancy costumes I’ve ever made. When I made it I was pretty well aware that I was probably never actually gonna end up wearing it anywhere, so it’s just made out of quilt cotton. I paid, I think, five or six dollars a yard, and then it’s about twenty yards to make something like this.

There’s a matching hat, by the way.

So lately, I’ve been trying not to think of my hobby in terms of, “Do I need this?” “Will I wear it?” Honestly, that’s really just not the point. I make stuff like this because I think it’s fun to make. And I feel like that should be enough. [/Transcript]

As some of you might already know: I’m a cosplayer and costume maker I am currently in fashion school and I eventually want to work in film or theater! I also have a huge passion for historical fashion and love to make my historical designs as accurate as possible ❤️ Oh and I also love making my own designs! Like my own Rapunzel design, my pink Ariel ballgown and my blue cape dress.

I just wanted to share some of my work here and tell you all that if you’re interested, you can follow me on Instagram! I document how I make all of my costumes and also share my research into historical fashion https://instagram.com/camilla.cos

I made a dress for my newest Fae costume and it was giving me major unintended Feyre Archeron vibes so wanted to share

How you actually work:

As a fan of one amazing Bernadette Banner on YouTube, and considering that the main fictional character I write about is an aspiring fashion designer, I figured I’d leave this link here for anyone willing and able to support the Costume Industry Coalition, which is trying to ensure the survival of the handmade costume industry that supplies plays, musicals, TV shows— really, all aspects of the entertainment industry following a lot of studio closings because of the pandemic.

Pattern: Truly Victorian TVE45 and TVE23

Fabric: Beaded Silk Chiffon and Silk Damask

Modification: None

Notes: Edwardian style evening gown made of a kimono style blouse and a princess seamed gored skirt. The challenge lies in fabric choice. Working beaded fabric takes a lot of patience. Most of the time were spent removing and then securing the beads. I almost felt like machine sewing didn’t really save that much time for t his at all. Hand sewing is the way to go.

As usual, Truly Victorian pattern are well drafted with clear instructions.

Possible improvement: None that I can think of but I would need to work on some historically accurate undergarments to complete the look.
