Lord of the Rings Fellowship Inspired Cape

Greetings,

This is one of three capes we created to wear to a Lord of the Rings concert a while back. You can read my blog post about that concert "our journey to middle earth" or even try some lembas bread or hobbit birthday cake. Alright...back to the costumes.

My fellowship cape design was greatly inspired by the movie versions as seen being worn by Frodo and Aragorn below.

We even found some leaf pins that look very similar to the movie! *click on the images for larger pictures if you like.

This cape is perfect for wearing through your daily adventures...the full style is elegant and flows very well when you walk.

I can't promise it will make you invisible to evil eyes though...that you shall have to test yourself.

The fabric is a lovely soft green/gray elvish color. It is woolen knit that drapes beautifully and truly feels like something made in an elven realm.

I love wearing the hood up. It reminds me of Legolas..or just elves in general. If you are shorter, it truly looks like the perfect hobbit from the back.

The dress I am wearing mine with in these images is just a simple princess style...made from a selection of plum fabrics in a deep hue. That dress is currently for sale over here on the etsy shop.

Fairytale Peasant Maiden

Greetings,

Here is another costume that shall be in my etsy shop

This adorable costume would be perfect for any fairytale setting that a princess might require.It reminds me of something Cinderella would have loved to have owned…

Or perhaps even an elegant Hobbit would approve of such a design.

Whether you are looking for a pretty costume for Renaissance fairs, theater productions or just for wearing at costume parties this costume may just suite your needs.

The costume consists of a soft white peasant style blouse that is hip length for easy tucking into the skirt. The fabric is a soft woven white cotton, perfect for delicate princess skin.

The Skirt is a full pleated creation attached to the laced up linen bodice. Color scheme is made of satin and silky purples accented with a brilliant green ribbon. Eyelets up the front of the bodice are a dark green shade.

Thank you for looking at my costumes!

Fairytale Princess Dress

•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*´¨)
(¸.•´ This lovely turquoise colored gown is perfect for any style of princess setting.

The design was inspired by classic fairytales from Grimm’s stories.


Flowing sleeves elongate the figure and the flattering empire waist draws attention to the face.

Dress can be worn empire waist style and tied in a bow in the back.
Or you can wrap the tie around the front and tie it for a more waist defining style.




Dress is fully lined in a soft drapey turquoise fabric that has the most amazing feel…
..the over skirt has a dip dyed effect that is darker on the bottom and fades into light.

The fabric for the full sleeves is a shimmery satin that blends from green to blue and back again.

The pattern of the sleeve fabric is almost reminiscent of peacock feathers….

You can also find this dress on on my etsy store

Thanks for looking at my costumes.

Green and Blue Tia Costume

Greetings,

Today I have a costume to share with you that was inspired by my Tia Dalma costumes, but in a green and blue color scheme. With a selection of fabrics chosen to represent the sea and an assortment of vintage trims this gown was created.

The costume consists of a fully boned corset, detailed skirt, overdress and beaded belt.

For the belt we used a range of beads, shells and other vintage findings.

The fabric I used for the Over Dress has a lovely colonial inspired print on it of swirled roses and flowers. I accented it with handyed tassles and a stone gray fish net.

You can see touches of vintage lace on the lower sleeves.

The Corset is a deep blue and accented with a selection of fabrics used throughout the costume. Back laces up with green eyelets.

The hem of the skirt is trimmed with a sheer dark green chiffon and completely underlined with seaweed green linen. Gives a nice weight to the skirt when it is just worn with the corset.

Cowboys and Aliens Ella inspired Dress

Greetings,

The dress you will see here below was inspired by the costume worn by Ella in the Cowboys and Aliens movie that came out this summer.

For my version of the costume I used a fabric that was an 1860's reproduction fabric...to give it a historical vibe.

The color is a tan taupe calico with brown flowers printed on it.

I have more information on the Alien Wrist cuff over on my blog. If you want to read that post please visit this link

The costume is actually a two piece garment that creates the look of a dress.

The long skirt is accented with a ruffled around the hem and the fitted bodice is finished with a skirted peplum.

 

 *Click on the pictures for a larger look if you like. The lace on the cuffs is a vintage piece I had in our collection. The cuffs are closed with a bone like button as well.

You can see the cut of the dress a bit better here...and I had a bit of fun with the gun. The blue glow from the alien wrist cuff also shows up well in the picture on the right.

The back of the bodice and skirt is simple and perfect for running around. The Alien Wrist cuff is a fun accent for this costume as well...

Thanks for looking at my Ella inspired dress! It was fun to create and I hope it captured a bit of the look and feel of the movie costume.

If anyone is looking for their own Cowboys and Aliens costume just let me know. I would really like to recreate other inspired styles from the movie. (the guys costumes are great!)

Elizabeth Swann Inspired Nightgown/Robe

Greetings,

I recently had the opportunity to create a nightgown and robe inspired by the ones worn by Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.

This the original costume that inspired the one I created for my customer.

As with all my pictures (and the movie one above) you can click on the images for a larger view.

 Here is my inspired by the movie version below... 

 

The Robe was created from a gorgeous 100% silk fabric that was woven in England. Each flower is carefully embroidered and finished with pretty silk thread.

Close up...

I was fortunate enough to find a pattern of fabric that was rather similar to the movie. Not only in color, but the flowers were of a similar design as well.

 The Nightgown was sewn using a really pretty organic bamboo cotton blend fabric. Very soft and smooth to the touch that will improve even more after washing.

The neckline is carefully gathered and pleated to provide a very fitted look through  the bustline with full sleeves and a sweeping hemline.

To complete the pirate look I added the aztec coin from the first movie.

Susan’s Farwell Gown

This gown was inspired by the one worn by Susan in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Although Susan is seen wearing this dress for a short time, I think it is the most memorable because it is the last one she wears in Narnia.

Here is what the movie gown looked like...

My version of her gown is an inspired by version, I do not claim to have it identical in every way, but similar.  I changed the neckline so that it is a bit more princess like and the back features gold eyelets.

 

The costume consists of a crinoline, full skirted underdress with embellished sleeves and then the over dress is laced up with a functional under corset.

The White Under Dress is accented with an off the shoulder neckline, princess seams and an invisible zipper. The sleeves feature band of a golden fabric trim and lower puffed sleeves tightened with golden fabric cuffs closed with a delicate gold button. The lower hem of this under dress has a slight train in the back achieved with a mermaid like panel.

The Blue and Gold Over gown is made with a fully functional corset underneath. Closed with gold plated corset busks and boned up each lining seam, the back laces tight with gold eyelet and a silken cord.

 
This over gown is made of a heavy taffeta type fabric…gown is fully lined in the same color.

The front is outlined with the golden fabric trim and is split in the front to allow the silken under gown to show through… the buttons on the cuff are very Narnia inspired.

Padme Inspired Picnic Gown

Greetings,

This costume was inspired by the one worn by Padme during the Picnic scene with Anakin in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

The version here was inspired by the original, so not everything is identical to the movie, but I think it still captured the spirit and elegant style of a former Queen of Naboo.

This golden picnic Costume Includes....

~ Detailed and embellished off the shoulder under dress

~ Fully boned corset

~ Shawl with beading and other hand sewn details. 

Fabrics are high quality and have lots of pretty little details.

 

Each garment was carefully sewn with Star Wars style in mind.

 

Here are some pictures of the costume I created for my customer. The fabric was a hard color to capture in a photo. It is a lovely golden yellow gold.

Here are a few other close ups...you can see the corset lacing under the lace.

Undersleeves can be seen when the shawl is not worn.

To complete the costume she of course had to have that signature "Padme hairstyle" so we finished off the look with hand crocheted hair snoods and a lovely rose accented headband. I think my customer looked lovely with her Padme inspired look.

Alice Tea Party Dress

Today I wanted to share some pictures of an Alice in Wonderland inspired Tea Party Dress I created.

This fun party dress was inspired by the gown the Mad Hatter creates for Alice in, Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland.

Perfect for tea parties, halloween events, school dances or just for wearing around the house if you feel  in a wonderland mood.

Click on the photos if you want a larger view.

 
The Tea Party Dress was created with a lovely selection of wonderland blue fabric, vintage black ribbon, a giant hand made flower on the bodice.

 
Of course no tea party would be complete without reading a good book.

 
The front of the gown has a fun wonderland look and the back ties with a lovely sash.

 
“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Alice, from Adventures in Wonderland

 

“It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.” - Alice

 
Well, that wraps up our adventures to wonderland for now... but we returned with a Tea Party gown and a Hat fit for Hatter.
