Why hello there. Did I completely and entirely miss the fact that it is August already and that means @faces_and_style #VintageSummerChallenge2019 ? Yes. Yes, I totally did. So already I‘m playing catch up 😄 and lets be honest, I probably won‘t post for all the days. But here we go! #Day1VintageSummer2019 is „Summer Blooms“ and for this my Robe a la Francaise comes to mind, because we photographed that in the middle of the (very hot) summer in the beautifully planted gardens at Nymphenburg castle. And bonus: there‘s flowers ON the dress too 🌸🌼🌺 . . . . Handsewn cotton Robe a la Francaise, with handembroidered silk ribbonwork flowers on lace. Worn over shift, stays, pocket hoops and petticoats - all my work. Wig styled by me. . . . . . Everything you see is handsewn and patterned by me. Get in touch if you‘re interested in having me make something for you! . . . . #itssofluffy #couture #sewing #costumedesign #costume #historicalsewing #historicalcostume #costumer #historicalfashion #fashion #18thcenturyfashion #robealafrancaise #marieantoinette #georgian #1700s #18thcentury #handsewing #embroidery #ribbonembroidery #handsewn #handmade #memade #cosplay #livinghistory #instafashion #bespoke #seamstress #serinde

I‘ve done more (proper full) illustrations during my diploma collection than I‘ve done in the six years since I think 😄 It‘s something I greatly enjoy but rarely take the time to do and by now I‘m VERY rusty... I would love to make some more time for it, but... you know 🤷♀️ . Sorry I‘ve been very silent and just dragging up really old stuff, I have been working on something REALLY cool over the last couple of weeks, but the film business being what it is, it‘s safer not to post anything about it to not accidentally post anything secret 😄 if you‘re curious, check @mysteryguitarman ‘s account 🚀🛸 . . . . . . . .

A lot of my diploma collection featured heavy pearl and sequin embroidery. On this piece the embroidery was done on top of a quilted and padded base to add three-dimensionality. My memory is fuzzy, but I would say this was probably a solid 4-5 days of handembroidery 😄 This little bolero-top-thingy is one of the pieces I‘ve always loved the most, if you ever got a business card from me, you‘ll have seen it because it still featured on there 😉 . . . . . . . .

Before we move on to another outfit, here‘s a close-up. I was originally promised that I could do a costume project for my diploma but later my school changed their mind so I ended up doing a couture collection inspired (loosely) by Shakespeare‘s Hamlet. As it happens, the play mentions only four colours: white, black, gold and (sage)green. Those became the colours used in my collection. Another nod to the play: quotes from the text were embroidered on the clothes as decorative elements - I rather like the idea of working text into embellishments, it‘s like a graphic tee but subtle 😉 What would you embroider on your hems? . . . . . . . .

Since some of you expressed some interest in seeing some of my diploma collection illustrations, here you go - this is the illustration that went with the outfit I posted yesterday. I haven‘t done as much drawing in the last 5 years as I did for my diploma, I think 😄 These days I only do perfunctory costume sketches/technical drawings. I fear I might be completely out of practice 😄 But looking at my old work does kind of make me want to pick up a pencil! . . . . . . . . Everything you see is handsewn and patterned by me.
