My creations!!!

So the title sounds rather like I am a mad scientist or something. However, this is a post to show some of the projects I worked on in the previous semester. This last semester I took a costume construction class, and as part of that class I got to work on costumes for each show that we did and make a personal project. Granted, my personal project did not quite turn out as I had hoped, but I am pretty proud of myself for the process I went through to make it!

First off was the jacket I made for the play "The Front Page."

As you can see it was quite the polka dotted outfit! I made the jacket which was inspired by a picture of Coco Chanel in the 20s-30s. The jacket was surprisingly easy!

The next project was for the musical "Into the Woods" which was a combination of quite a few fairy tales. I made Snow White's dress!

I actually did not make the dress from scratch, I just kind of altered the original. Unfortunately I never got a photo of the original, but what I did was move the waist up about 5 inches, made and added the sleeves, moved the zipper, added the lace around the waist and secured the lace around the bottom. So it was not quite as much work as I had expected, but still a bit of a challenge to just alter an already existing dress.

My last project I do not have a picture of yet, however I will soon! For that project I had to alter the original pattern from a size 12 to a size 20, and this was from a vintage 60s pattern. I ended up actually making the pattern on the dress myself with the process of marbling the material. When I get to it I will post pictures of that process, because it was quite the process, so that everyone can see the hard work that went into that gosh darn dress!

So, until the update, I bid you adeu!
