Chaos: part 1
Well hello there! It’s been a moment since writing a blog, so forgive me if I’m a little rusty! I have been absolutely obsessed with Hades, and specifically the character Chaos. A canonically nonbinary character who is the embodiment of the weird nature of the universe? Of course I am going to love them. So…

Lady Maria
I loved recreating Lady Maria for the very talented and beautiful Velvet Caveat. It needed to look like her full outfit, but be able to be swiftly taken off for a quick change. I created this by combining her jacket and waistcoat into one, but with the jacket seam, I left it purposefully raised, and…

Testing fabric samples for the suit & my trouser draft!
In my last post, you saw me gather a bunch of samples. I have a bunch more since then! Now comes time to test them all, to try figure out my best options. Josh, our tailoring tutor for this unit, showed me ways to test the fabrics to see if they are suitable or not.…

Creating Lady Dimitrescu’s Dress: Part 2
In part 1, I showed some of my process of draping onto the stand to create my toile. This part will cover transferring that into paper! Christmas paper specifically! Yay! I decided to re-do the front pattern piece again, as I really was struggling with putting it onto paper in a way that made sense.…

Creating Lady Dimitrescu’s dress: part 1
By now, I think anyone who is even the tiniest bit interested in videogames has seen our new overlord, Lady Dimitrescu. The trailer of Resident Evil: Village featured her, and the internet lost it’s collective mind… Me included. She’s a 9ft tall vampire yokai hybrid, with fashion sense to die for. The minute I saw…

Reflecting back
Upon reflection of this unit, I feel mostly good – Most things worked as intended, even if it took a few attempts to get there. I had a lot of struggles from personal life that made this unit challenging within our time frame – We was moving house, then turns out it was a renter…
