Finally got all of the main garments finished for a test drive! My Frau costume for NYCC 2017 is almost done; I just have to finish the hat, the wig, and small details on the skirt! :D
Overskirt WIP for Sakizou Frau and little details. :)
The entire overskirt is navy blue silk duchess satin with genuine ermine fur trim. I have to wait for the other fur scraps to arrive. (And by then I’ll cartridge pleat the skirt together instead of awkwardly pinning it to my dress form) The skirt puffs were made the same method as the puffs on the upper sleeves. The underskirt front (Or Forepart if you are into Tudor and Elizabethan costuming) is the quilted taffeta with the lattice gold trim and the small tear drop gems. I have to buy more tear drop gems on Tuesday when my friend and I head into the garment district. The trim on the front has gold snowflake appliques glued on and I am planning to put sequins and beads in between. :)
These were taken in the last 2 weeks as I managed work and cosplay on the side. The upper pic shows the over skirt skirt puffs while the other 2 are pictures of the main trim. I sewed the ermine trim to the hem yesterday and I got more gold snowflake patches layered on top of the gold front trim. I started the underskirt which will be posted tomorrow. More to come!!
