mihawk
When I began making this costume, the biggest challenge was the coat. It is based on a waist coat with a 'cape' from the back and a high backed collar. I began by making a sample waist coat, in order to correct any errors in the pattern. After doing such I made the final pattern in 6 pieces. The cape, the back of waist coat, the front with the collar/lapel and the upper and lower parts of the sleeve.
I used Black Gaberdine for the main waistcoat. The lining on the upper body was Red Poly-cotton. The red embroidered material was Curtain Demask, that was also used as a lining along the collar/lapel and on the cape. |
