I am SO CLOSE to being finished with this costume. I’ve decided to just wear something sleeveless underneath the brown dress part (I’m sure there’s a more precise term for this), instead of doing a chemise or anything. I cut out the leather for the waist cincher yesterday but realized that I don’t have enough eyelets to finish it — so I’ll need to get more of those before I can put lace in it and wear it like an actual garment. But the pictures give you a pretty good idea of where it’s all headed.
I made the skirt out of two sheets from Southern Thrift, and the brown dress part is just a modified brown dress, also from Southern Thrift. I just took it in some (it was huge), cut it straight down the middle and hemmed the sides, and added the eyelets. I’m going to use a leather lace for this – instead of the twine in the pictures, btw. The twine is too rough, and leather will go better with the outfit.
I’m not sure if I’ll actually end up wearing the cloak, because it’s sure to be hot, but IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
Anyway. Will post a final update soon.
