Made my very first corset. I’ll start working on an 1887 walking dress soon, so I had to start with the underpinnings! This is the Victorian pattern from @redthreaded and it was super easy to put together. I used a layer of coutil herringbone and then this Japanese cotton for the fashion fabric. The slip I’m wearing is just temporary - it’s the only thing I had in my closet to throw on. Now on to the bustle! . #victoriandress #corset #corsetry #victoriancorset #seamstress #costumedesign #costumedesigner #historicalcostuming #historicalfashion #sewing
Japan seems to be going back to normal this week. We ventured out to do a small hanami at a small park. I bought this haori about a year ago and hadn’t been able to figure out how to make it work for me, but think I finally did. Hope everyone elsewhere stays healthy and sane. . #hanami #haori #tokyo #fashion #tokyostyle #wiwt #instastyle #instagashion #花見 #羽織り #代官山
It’s done! My late 1600s French gown inspired by a portrait of Anne de Rohan Chabot. Hand embroidered, hand beaded, and my first foray in to proper cartridge pleats. I followed the pattern shown in 17th Century Women’s Dress Patterns book 2. Now to find somewhere I can photographer this in Tokyo 🧐 . #17thcentury #historialcostume #historicalcostumedesigner #historicalcostumedesign #costumedesign #costumedesigner #1660sGown #louisvix #historicalfashion #sewing
It’s done! Finally finished my 1660s bodice based off of a painting of Anne de Rohan-Chabot. This is definitely the most ambitious thing I’ve ever made. I’ve never worked from a pattern book before, so it was a challenge learning how to scale everything. I referenced @walking_through_history ‘s wonderful FB posts detailing her creation of the same pattern often. Is it perfect? On god no. Is it good enough for me to feel proud of it? Yes! Does it also weigh a ton? Yes! Now to make the skirt. . #historicalcostume #historicalcostuming #17thcentury #1660s #17thcenturyfashion #historicalfashion #costumedesign #costumedesigner #louisxiv #versailles
