Transylvania Nightgown

Greetings,

This Nightgown was highly inspired by Transylvania Legends and Lore....Dracula anyone?

Dracula is the classic vampire tale written by Bram Stoker in 1897. The novel wove a story of vampire myth to create a literary legacy. The story was set in Transylvania...thus creating a new platform for many other stories that would soon follow based in this same region.

For the gown I used a lovely organic bamboo and rayon fabric. It is the kind of fabric that is amazingly soft and becomes better with age.

The fabric is a bit thin, but this creates a lovely ghostly effect. Or some such thing.

Almost an off the shoulder low neck that is perfectly romantic.

The low scooped neckline is a drawstring that I stitched in place and tied in a knot so there is not fear of it coming undone.

The sleeves are full and pointed on the lower hem.

Simple long hem floats around the ankles.....or I am sure you could fly in it was well if you happen to have that power come midnight.

King Lear: Edmund

Edmund is the main antagonist in Shakespeare's tragedy, King Lear.

The costumes were designed by Liz Hoover, of Liz Hoover Designs. I was the seamstress for the costumes below, as well as doing alterations to the rented and stock costumes.

Edmund's Costume

The Jacket was detailed with alot of zippers and 2 stand up collars. The jacket needed a good iron job, but it was inbetween shows so I just snapped a few pictures.

I did not make the leather armour, that was rented...however I thought it looked pretty cool, so I still wanted to include pictures of it.

~~~~~~Woodland Fairy~~~~~

 

This Costume was created for a Narnia play….in 2006.

Lots of layers of fabrics, flowers and fairy fancies.

We created this with fabrics and dresses we already had in the costume closet, so it just happend to work out that everything matched.

Even a pair of lovely green wings..because what woodland fairy would be complete without them?

The makeup was done by Students with simple theater paints and lots of glitter…

 
 (She does have 2 wings in the first picture, it was just the way she was standing...it looks like one)

Dryad Costume

This costume was created for a highschool production of Narnia in 2006.

   

Dryad Costume

 This Costume was also created for a Narnia Play… lots of leaves were added to give it a lovely leaf affect.  Because these costumes are one of a kind they can’t be replicated down to the last detail, but they can be recreated in your own style or design.

 The dryad costume was made using browns and greens cut into long petal shapes to form a skirt…lots of leaves were added. The sash in the back creates a perfect fit.
