I am beyond excited for the „Structuring Fashion“ conference starting tomorrow! It‘s going to be amazing and even better - it‘s in my hometown! Looking forward to learning a lot and meeting lovely people! Please come say hi if you see me, I can be an awkward potato when there‘s loads of people, but I‘d love to talk to you 😊 also if the guests from further away plan to spend a couple more days in Munich, I‘m local and happy to give tips (or a free guided tour 😉) #patternsoffashion5 #structuringfashion #bayerischesnationalmuseum #schoolofhistoricaldress @theschoolofhistoricaldress1
Some details of the candy cane stays: handsewn eyelets are my jam and look at that lovely minty colour! Also, I am so proud of my binding, guys - it‘s done by machine. I have plenty of practice doing it by hand, but binding tabs by machine is a special school of magic ✨ and the ladies at @redthreaded are the grandmasters 😉 These stays don‘t have boning in the tabs, so it‘s practice-easy-mode 😄 . . . . . . #sewing #costumedesign #costume #historicalsewing #historicalcostume #costumer #18thcentury #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume #handsewing #handsewn #corset #corsetry #cosplay #livinghistory #georgian #marieantoinette #madamepompadour #stays #staymaker #makersgonnamake #smallbusiness #candycane #stripes #details #eyelets
Here is a back view of the candy cane stays I posted yesterday 🍬 My first go at making stays for my friend Beccy resulted in a pair that met in the back and was still kinda large (as in, it just sat on her and didn‘t do much), so this lovely even lacing gap makes me super happy ☺️ Patterning success, yay! . . . . . . #sewing #costumedesign #costume #historicalsewing #historicalcostume #costumer #18thcentury #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume #handsewing #handsewn #corset #corsetry #cosplay #livinghistory #georgian #marieantoinette #madamepompadour #stays #staymaker #makersgonnamake #smallbusiness #candycane #stripes
Went completely MIA after the Vintage Summer Challenge because of several commissions in a short time frame, but before I started on those, I finished the late 18th century stays for my bestie Beccy ❤️ This was interesting from a patterning perspective for me, because she has a really long torso and is quite skinny with minimal „squishiness“, very different from all the other ladies I‘ve made stays for (including myself!) Beccy picked the fabric because it reminded her of candy canes by the way 😄 . . . . . . #sewing #costumedesign #costume #historicalsewing #historicalcostume #costumer #18thcentury #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume #handsewing #handsewn #corset #corsetry #cosplay #livinghistory #georgian #marieantoinette #madamepompadour #stays #staymaker #bighair #makersgonnamake #smallbusiness #costumeshop #candycane
Somewhat recently I had the great honour to to make a few costumes for a short film about Mata Hari, who was big into oriental influence! #vintagesummer2018day29 She lived her life as her alter ego, an indian princess and took inspiration from many cultures for her costumes. Here is a pretty behind the scenes look at a sleepy (but still georgeous) @katarina.strahinic as Mata Hari ❤️, wearing her spectacular show costume hidden by a luscious dressing gown made from handmade devoré. More to follow as soon as I get the images from the production 😊 . . #VintageSummerChallenge2018 is hosted by @faces_and_style ❤️ . . . . . . #sewing #costumedesign #costume #historicalsewing #historicalcostume #costumer #handsewing #handsewn #corset #corsetry #cosplay #livinghistory #makersgonnamake #smallbusiness #matahari #edwardian #edwardianfashion #womaninthemirror #oriental #1900s #sari #velvet #devoré #costumeshop @karolinevielemeyer @annette_free_as_a_bird
