Autumn and winter are taking their time here this year, weird to think it’s already almost the middle of November! Have this picture of my 18th century undress outfit for those crisp weather vibes 😊 Not a lot of instagramming right now, since I‘m busy with cool work things, that unfortunately I can‘t really share... involves some historically inspired menswear and kids patterning which is fairly new to me, so yay for new things! . . . . . Everything you see is handsewn and patterned by me.

Some of you might have seen this little Pierrot jacket take shape in my stories over the weekend. This is where I will leave it for a little while (need to get some actual work done) and while it is on pause I will have a think about trim. By the way, this is an Ikea fabric once again! I think Lauren of @americanduchess used those same curtains for one of her Jane Austen Fest dresses a while back (which might be the reason I bought them...). But the lovely @bfrederick762 gave me the idea to dye it after she did that with her Ikea print sheets 😊 I added some white back in with fabric paint to give it more dimension. Love how it turned out! I‘m kind of sad they are now discontinued, because I want to dye them ALL THE COLOURS 😢 . . . . . Everything you see is handsewn and patterned by me.

Day 17 of Fall for Costume : 18th century. I have quite a bit to choose for this one, but I feel like my frilly francaise still has quite a few angles I haven‘t showed you so here you go 😉 It‘s so silly and over the top andthe princess gown I always wanted 😄 — Pink cotton-silk blend with small white stripes, decorated with lace and ribbon embroidery flowers. All handsewn and made by me, including underpinnings. . . . #fallforcostume is hosted by @redthreaded ❤️ . . . Everything you see is handsewn and patterned by me.

Day 16 of Fall for Costume is fantasy, which makes me nostalgic, because my first foray into costume was Lord of the Rings! Éowyn dresses were my jam. I used to go to conventions (in the heyday of Lord of the Rings there was a separate convention dedicated just to it) and there I got to meet my heroes 😄 you can tell by my dopey smile how excited I was to meet Miranda Otto ❤️ She complimented my costume, too, which made 15-old-Sarah extremely happy — 1st: 2008 - Shieldmaiden dress with stupidly elaborate handembroidery on leather with John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) 2nd: 2007 - Green Edoras gown in its final form with Andy Serkis (Gollum) 3rd: 2006 - Coronation Gown with horrible hair and the always lovely Miranda Otto (Éowyn herself!) 4th: 2005 - Green Edoras gown in its initial form without collar with John Noble (Denethor) . . . #fallforcostume is hosted by @redthreaded ❤️ . . .

Day 15 of Fall for Costume is character! I haven‘t cosplayed in a LONG time, but here is the last time I did. I‘ve posted this one before, but never a corset only picture because it‘s kinda skimpy... I feel more comfortable posting pictures of myself in less revealing historical underwear 😄 Swipe for the original (who has way better hair than me, because I never got a wig) — In I think 2015 I just randomly decided to make the movie costume of Sally Jupiter / Silk Spectre I from Watchmen. I had basically everything in my stash for it, which just goes to show that I looove her colour scheme 😉 I made the corset, „dress“, belt, glove and cuff and purchased shoes and stockings. All happened in less than a week - and then I never wore it anywhere because I don‘t go to conventions 😄 Still proud of it though. . . . #fallforcostume is hosted by @redthreaded ❤️ . . .
