How can I make my historical costume look good?
A list of tricks and things to keep in mind to start filling the gap between fancy dress and historical clothing.
Venetian courtesan
My interpretation of a fresco from a fairytale beauty and the beast bookshop, representing a venetian 1570-ish dress
Embroidered velvet jacket
The adventure of making a 18th century riding habit and changing your mind about how to make it more times than you should.
Fortuny experiments
Working on some experiments on Fortuny Delphos gowns.
Why so silent?
Working on the Phantom of the Opera -movie- costume from Why so Silent. With a hint of thought about Napoleon’s wardrobe.
The Victorian Volcano
Inspired by a 1890s original bodice, this gown is made recycling pieces of an other costume.
Wine velvet robe
The making of a wine velvet german court robe.
Death, the apocalypse rider
Historical and fantasy inspired men’s ensemble for one of the Apocalypse riders.
Tete de mouton wig
A 1750s style wig, perfect to match a robe à la française or most of mid-century outfits. Very soft and natural looking.
Men’s full bottom wig
A dramatic style of wig, perfect for Louis XIV, and the second half of the XVII century. But would also make a terrific Captain Hook.
