Pink, pink and …. yep, more pink

A very quick, very pink, very ruffle covered costume we knocked up in a couple of days for a dance show. Denise added trim to an eBay corset, while I made the skirt. Four layers of ruffle on the outside, and another three on the inside. It’s a circle skirt with the waist off centre so it’s longer at the back.

I made the blouse as well, believe it or not, this is the sleeve pattern. It’s this funny shape because it has a slit a the top.

This project involved a very large amount of trim. The dance was to Candyman, so we were going with the sweets and candy, pink and white vibe.

Wollaton Photo Shoot

Finally got around to organising the photo shoot for the Wollaton costumes, here is a tiny snippet, he took hundreds!

I whipped up a pair of drawers so that i could get a picture of the corset as well. I found evidence that they wore drawers in the regency era, but I couldn’t find any patterns, so this one is made up. Not exactly the most accurate, but fit for purpose for the shoot.
