So, I was goofing around on ebay the other day, looking for a compact to put some powder I broke in to and decided to pull up a picture of Peggy’s from the Agent Carter short, hoping I could find something “close enough” that it would fit in if I wanted to use it with my costume. Then like, 2 pages in I found something that looked SO close. A few selective searches later, and I’m pretty certain I found a match! It’s a vintage Stratton compact with white floral enamel design on the front and scalloped edge. There are a few floating around but they’re being snapped up quick!
What you’re looking for:
Screen shot from the short that I brightened up to see the colors:
If you can’t find the white one (it seems to be the hardest one to get) it’s also available with the same design but a green, red or black background; or there are square powderbox/lipstick holder combos that are the wrong shape-square-but the right design.
I’ll update with my own photos once mine gets here!

Made a bunch of modifications to the McCalls 6750 pattern to get something close to Peggy’s shirt from the first ep. I obviously still have some work to do: hemming, buttons, red decorative top-stitching, then a wash and iron but…it’s something!
Once it’s finished I’ll try and get a picture with it on too.
This one is way late because for some reason I thought I posted it already…
The last bit of costume info I’ve got, it’s all about underthings and small accessories.
Bra:
Bras in the 40′s were made differently than ours are now. There was no foam and very little elastic so they were usually a non-stretch fabric stitched to get close to boob shape. This means that once you were wearing them your chest looked a little bit more pointed. Now, they weren’t the rocket/torpedo boobs that got more popular in the 50′s, but there was definitely more point than the round foam shapes we’re used to. There was also very little to no padding, so if you want an authentic shape bra but want to add a little lift, you’ll probably need to get some separate ‘cutlets’.
There’s a few options I’ve found that are similar:
thecupcakemechanic pointed out on one of my other posts that the screen accurate bra came from the same company that did the nylons, and you can find it here:
If that is out of your price range, there are some similar shaped bras that you can find pretty easily:
The Bali Women’s Flower Bra: this is the only one I’ve listed that has an underwire, so if you prefer those, this is your best bet
The Playtex 18 Hour Comfort Fit: I haven’t worn one of these myself but I’ve heard great things from a friend who wears them and they will give the right shape
This are just a couple of options, if you’d like to try and find one yourself the big thing you want to look for is seamlines on the cups, either curving across the cup or coming up from the bottom, and ending mid bust. Anything that is seamless is going to be too round if you’re going for an accurate shape
Garter belt
The screen used stockings (and anything period-accurate) are not as stretchy as we’re used to and don’t have the silicone on the inside of the tops that most thigh highs have now, so they won’t stay up on their own. I haven’t been able to find the one used on screen so I just found a few that looked good around the internet.
What Katie Did, the company that made the stockings and bra does have a few garter belts available, but most are over $50 and none match the bra or screen used one so I probably won’t be getting on of those. But, if you’d like to put in the investment, they do seem to have good ratings.
Fredericks of Hollywood has a few options, this one is less than $15, and simple but will get the job done. Which for something that’s under all of your clothes, should do just fine. They have a few more intricate options too, if you’d like to feel particularly pretty.
Personally, I am going to be wearing something like this from Bali. The one I have is vintage and from a different company but the same shape and idea. It’s a good option if you like wearing shapewear under your costumes as it’ll combine everything in to one piece. It’s pretty easy to find other shapewear with garter straps too, if you want something without the built in bra.
Accessories
Peggy doesn’t wear much for jewelry but she does always have earrings on. And the show was super accurate with this, as the ones she wears on the show are clip ons, which were much more common in the 30′s and 40′s. The ones with this costume are small, pearl shapes with a clip that goes around the ear. Her’s are fairly small (6-10mm) with gold hardware (I think, the coloring in the video makes it tough to tell).
Since clip ons have definitely gone out of style these were a little hard to find, and most of the ones I did were way too big, so I ended up turning to ebay for this. The auction I purchased from ended but these are very similar to what I got:
Peggy also carries a small, square, red and gold purse at the beginning of the scene with this costume. It’s on screen for maybe half a second so I didn’t get a great look at it. I was given one from the UK as a gift so I don’t really have a link, but anything red would probably work well with this costume!
That’s all I’ve got for now, I will try to post some progress pics once I get anywhere and keep the updates coming :D
My last post had all the on-screen stuff that’s buyable for the blue Agent Carter suit, this one is for patterns. I’m going to be making the jacket, shirt and jacket myself because I’m fairly certain these were custom made for the show. I found patterns that are similar and will be modifying them to be as close to screen-accurate as I can.
The Jacket
For the jacket I’m using Simplicity pattern 1421 which is an unlined buttoned jacket that has a few sleeve options.
The pattern does need modification but it has the right major seamlines (princess seams on front and back, no pleating in the shoulders) and the modifications should be easy. The pattern also comes with A, B, C, and D cup size options, which work well for me since my waist-to-bust measurements are usually not within the normal pattern sizing. I’m going to be using pattern C, which is self bound, though I may see if I can make it without the binding at all.
Modificatons:
-widen the lapels and make in to single peak (the lapel point should go almost to the shoulder of the jacket in the end
-square off the bottom hemline
-add a third and fourth button
-leave off the pockets and buttons on the sleeves
-also need to make sure that it comes right to your hips, this one seems like it might be a little bit short on me (long torso) so I’m gonna have to make sure that it’s long enough
Shirt
I’m going to use McMall’s M6750 for the shirt.
This is not the MOST accurate pattern, the shape is right and the lapels are right, but the back is not. Peggy’s had a flat panel on her upper back with some pleating under it, along with extra pleats in the top and bottom of the sleeves. But since I’m planning to wear this mostly, if not always, with the jacket, I’m not going to worry too much about the back and sleeves, it’s the front, cuffs and collar that are gonna matter most. I’m using view C, which has the long sleeves and two button cuffs Peggy’s had.
Modifications
-Add one more waist dart and pull them all to the same level, just below bustline
-I may make the cuffs a little bit longer
-Add decorative red stitching along all of the outside hems. (6-8 rows of short, straight stitches)
-Make sure the collar matches up with the jacket
Skirt
This one is Simplicity 3688, obviously just using the skirt pattern
This one is pretty close, the only difference being the placement of the zipper and width of the waistband. With the jacket over it, it looks just like Peggy’s.But if you wanted it screen accurate:
Modifications
-split the back gore in half, add the zipper there (removing it from the side)
-remove the button and extend the waistband to 3". Adjust the length of the skirt at the waist accordingly
Fabrics:
For the shirt I’m planning on using a regular white cotton blend shirting with a tiny bit of stretch, just to make the fit a little bit easier for me. Peggy’s wouldn’t have any stretch so if you’re trying to be accurate a regular shirting would be best. Hers is white (with yellowish undertone over blue) and not-quite-opaque, you should be able to see the lines of the pleats and hems but not the color of any undergarments.
The skirt and jacket I don’t have fabric for yet, I’m planning on going to NYC this week to poke around the garment district and hopefully find something. Everything at the stores closest me was too dark and I’d rather not order online but it may come to that. I’m planning on using some sort of suiting, probably wool or a blend.
Up next will be undergarments and small accessories ;)

Planning on making Peggy’s red white and blue suit from the promo images and first episode of Agent Carter for DragonCon and possibly NYCC this year, so I’ve been digging around the internet and my HDX video of the ep. To start off, one thing I’ve discovered about making a costume based on a tv show still on the air (and one that’s actually based on a girl) is that it’s SO much easier to find the bits and pieces they used for the show places that you can still buy them. That being said, some of these were harder to find than others and some are harder to buy already. All of the links are below the photo, let me know if any of them sell out/stop working.
Starting from the top…
The Hat:
The hat is a Stetson Aviatrix, one that they put back in production specifically for the show. There are a few places you can find selling it but all of them are about the same price (a lot) and say that there’s a 4-6 week wait after order. This leads me to believe this is either some kind of presale or they’re special order. Either way, if you’re planning on getting these make sure you leave yourself plenty of time.
This is one of the easier ones to find/get. Hayley tweeted that this was on of the lipsticks used on the show, and Peggy’s signature shade. It’s a little pricey but not much more than a MAC or other high-end lip color and I have this already so I’ll testify that it’s a good one, it wears well and the color is great for Peggy.
Also, Hayley tweeted that the perfume she wears on set is from this company, it’s the 1940 scent but as of now is sold out and it’s never actually seen on screen.
Hayley also tweeted this one but it is getting harder to find. This particular color was included in a holiday collection so it’s mostly just online on sites like ebay and amazon where you can buy from people who stocked up when it was in stores. If you’re looking it’s called Cinnamon Sweet by OPI
With this outfit Peggy wears traditional seamed stockings (thigh highs which need a garter belt to stay up) with black weft, seam and a pointed heel. I believe the ones below are the ones in the show. They look right and the company has said the show bought another style from them for different episodes. Obviously these are a bit pricey for stockings which I’m really good at ripping so I’m most likely going to get something similar, but cheaper. The only part you really would need to look for is the black seam and to make sure the heel is pointed and not too high (vs. some of the more square designs). But if you want to go with fully screen accurate, I think these are the ones.
http://www.whatkatiedid.com/en_us/product/893/nude-stockings-contrast-seam in Champagne and Black
The Shoes
The shoes are another more expensive bit (seeing a trend here?) but these are definitely the ones worn in the show and Peggy wears them again in ep. 6.
So that’s all I have, as far as things I know are a) still available for purchase and b) definitely the same ones worn on screen. Will be posting again soon with patterns I’m using for her clothes as well as all about the stuff I’ll be wearing that won’t be screen accurate but as close as I could get (earrings, undergarments, and a bag mostly).
Just a quick tutorial on how I changed up the McCall’s pattern to make my Peggy shirt.
So, this starts with McCalls 6750, which is a tailored misses size (8-24) blouse with wide collar. It’s the closest thing I could find to the shape of Peggy’s blouse, though it does need quite a bit of modification. The main changes are-changing the pleats on the front, making the cuffs a little longer and tighter, changing the shape of the collar slightly, and adding some decorative stitching.
Just a note too-this is only accurate to the front, I did not modify the back to match Peggy’s. Her’s had a square yolk at the shoulders and gathers below, this one has some pleats that give it nice shape but it is not entirely accurate to what she wore.
When checking the sizing on the pattern you want to err on the side of larger. If you’re between two sizes, definitely go with the bigger one and you may even want to go up a size. This shirt is much more fitted than Peggy’s blouse was. And remember that pattern sizes are VERY different than off-the-rack sizes, and this particular pattern seems to run on the small side. I measure at a 20 but I’m working with a size 22 pattern so keep that in mind, some of your measurements may be slightly different to work with your size.
The first thing I worked on was the front of the shirt (pattern piece 3} and changing the front pleats. Peggy’s shirt had 6 vertical pleats running straight down, 3 on each side. The pattern comes with two darts that we’re going to completely ignore. When making these type of changes I find it a lot easier to trace the pattern first, then change it on there. It’s just a lot easier to have that extra space to work with, rather than trying to tape paper on to the pattern (plus it means I can reuse the pattern later if I want).
Each of the pleats I made were 1” wide-½” when sewn, with ¾” between them. I started by measuring in from the edge of the pattern (near where the front opening will end up) 4 ½” and drew a straight line down. Then, perpendicular to that one, draw a line that is another 4 ½” long. Along that horizontal line mark alternating 1” and ¾” inch spaces, then extend those lines down. It should look like this:
And here it is up against a ruler:
Now, because these pleats use a bit more fabric than the ones that were originally on the pattern you need to add some extra room on the side seams but I didn’t want to change the bust dart too much so I measured 1 ½” out from the bottom hem and used my curve ruler to connect to the base of the bust dart. This brings the sides out a bit without changing the shape of the shoulders or bustline.
You may actually want to make this 2” if you didn’t go up a size-the decorative stitches along the edge of the shirt push the buttons in a little bit so the shirt wants to close tighter. Just keep this in mind so you don’t get your whole shirt made and then find you can’t close it properly.
The next thing I changed on this piece was the collar. Peggy’s shirt had a slightly wider collar that was curved on the bottom and straight on the top, but of course this pattern had the reverse, so I had to switch that up. I measured 1 ¼” down from the top corner of the lapel and made a mark, then I took a ruler and extended the lapel straight out to that mark, ending 1” beyond the existing pattern line. (Ignore my extra line on there, I had made another mark but didn’t like how it looked so I changed it)
This is what the pattern will look like so far.
Now the next (and last) bit for this piece, I actually changed as I was sewing (because I forgot to do it on the pattern). The bust darts on the pattern interfere too much with the pleats so I made them a little bit shorter. To do this I just folded that dart as if I was going to sew it, then lay my ruler up against the line for the first pleat and made a mark there.
Then, line the ruler up with the outer edge of the pleat and that mark and trace your new pleat.
Now, the front is done, but make sure to transfer over the changes in the collar to the facing piece (5) so that they’ll fit together later. I just lay 3 over 5 and traced this edge.
Watchful kitty not necessary but encouraged.
The next thing I wanted to modify were the cuffs, I made them ½” taller and shortened them 1” (later on buttoned them a little bit tighter too). Peggy’s cuffs were actually pretty tall and by making them tighter you both make room for the decorative stitching and give the sleeve a bit more poof.
But to make the cuff longer I also needed to make the sleeves shorter. To do this I just used the adjustment line, folding it up ½” before tracing. Fold it with right sides together then fold it back down. it’ll look like it’s folded ¼” but because it’s doubled it’ll come to ½” in the end. Then just trace like this.
For the cuff, add ½” to one of the long sides, and move the fold line up ¼” then shorten by 1” (I moved the button markings in this photo but I wouldn’t bother doing that, I ended up doing it by eye later anyway)
And that was all I changed with the pattern pieces. But I did make a few sewing changes too-mostly just to the sleeves and buttons. The sleeves I decided to ignore the pleat that’s on the pattern and gather them instead since Peggy’s were gathered. After you prep the cuff opening however you’re doing it, following the pattern instructions, use a long basting stitch to sew about ½” in from the raw edge of the bottom of the sleeve and then tug on the bobbin thread from both ends to gather it up. Once it’s the right length match it up with the cuff **make sure to leave your seam allowances on the cuff out! I didn’t in these photos and had to redo this on one** and sew at the regular seam allowance.
To sew your pleats you’re gonna just fold them so the 1” lines meet with excess fabric on the inside of your pattern and sew straight down right on the line. You should end up with 3 pleats, ¾” apart. Just iron them flat with the extra fabric facing the side seams and you’re done! It looks a little complicated when you see it on the finished shirt, but it’s actually super simple.
Once the shirt is mostly constructed, but before you add any buttons you need to add your decorative stitching. I did five lines, just a normal 2.5 mm straight stitch (this is the default on most machines) about 1/16” apart. Mine are far from perfectly straight or even but I found that once it’s all done, the imperfections really aren’t all that noticeable, so don’t worry too too much. As soon as that’s done use the existing button and buttonhole markings to mark your new ones, which will need to be a little bit further inside the shirt, and then you are completely finished! Go be your badass Peggy self.
Peggy’s shirt is done! I’m actually kind of proud of this one, since it’s my first time making something structured like this and there was a lot of pattern modification. There are definitely a few little things I might change if I were to do it again, but I’m really liking it it.
This one is way late because for some reason I thought I posted it already...

Yes! The carter commandos have a whole post on it here: http://cartercommandos.tumblr.com/post/108169186584/lipstick-masterpost I can personally comment on the Maybelline one and its definitely close and stays on WELL. I wore this one when I was one of Cap's dancing girls and most nights I'd have to scrub it off with a face cloth and make up remover and my lips would still be stained in the morning. If does flake a bit but reapplying the clear balm every hour or so helps. Also, Nars velvet matte lip pencil in Cruella is very close and wears a bit more like regular lipstick. It can be expensive too, BUT if you sign up for the beauty insider at Sephora, you get a free (!!) mini of it the week of your birthday. (Or the week you tell them your birthday is, I won't tell)

Carter Commandos first official follower appreciation giveaway!
Chances are that if you’re following us, you did because you fell in love with the incomparable Peggy Carter and her badassery as well as her huge heart. She was phenomenal in the first Captain America movie...
My last post had all the on-screen stuff that's buyable for the blue Agent Carter suit, this one is for patterns. I'm going to be making the jacket, shirt and jacket myself because I'm fairly certain these were custom made for the show. I found patterns that are similar and will be modifying them to be as close to screen-accurate as I can.
The Jacket
For the jacket I'm using Simplicity pattern 1421 which is an unlined buttoned jacket that has a few sleeve options.
The pattern does need modification but it has the right major seamlines (princess seams on front and back, no pleating in the shoulders) and the modifications should be easy. The pattern also comes with A, B, C, and D cup size options, which work well for me since my waist-to-bust measurements are usually not within the normal pattern sizing. I'm going to be using pattern C, which is self bound, though I may see if I can make it without the binding at all.
Modificatons:
-widen the lapels and make in to single peak (the lapel point should go almost to the shoulder of the jacket in the end
-square off the bottom hemline
-add a third and fourth button
-leave off the pockets and buttons on the sleeves
-also need to make sure that it comes right to your hips, this one seems like it might be a little bit short on me (long torso) so I'm gonna have to make sure that it's long enough
Shirt
I'm going to use McMall's M6750 for the shirt.
This is not the MOST accurate pattern, the shape is right and the lapels are right, but the back is not. Peggy's had a flat panel on her upper back with some pleating under it, along with extra pleats in the top and bottom of the sleeves. But since I'm planning to wear this mostly, if not always, with the jacket, I'm not going to worry too much about the back and sleeves, it's the front, cuffs and collar that are gonna matter most. I'm using view C, which has the long sleeves and two button cuffs Peggy's had.
Modifications
-Add one more waist dart and pull them all to the same level, just below bustline
-I may make the cuffs a little bit longer
-Add decorative red stitching along all of the outside hems. (6-8 rows of short, straight stitches)
-Make sure the collar matches up with the jacket
Skirt
This one is Simplicity 3688, obviously just using the skirt pattern
This one is pretty close, the only difference being the placement of the zipper and width of the waistband. With the jacket over it, it looks just like Peggy's.But if you wanted it screen accurate:
Modifications
-split the back gore in half, add the zipper there (removing it from the side)
-remove the button and extend the waistband to 3". Adjust the length of the skirt at the waist accordingly
Fabrics:
For the shirt I'm planning on using a regular white cotton blend shirting with a tiny bit of stretch, just to make the fit a little bit easier for me. Peggy's wouldn't have any stretch so if you're trying to be accurate a regular shirting would be best. Hers is white (with yellowish undertone over blue) and not-quite-opaque, you should be able to see the lines of the pleats and hems but not the color of any undergarments.
The skirt and jacket I don't have fabric for yet, I'm planning on going to NYC this week to poke around the garment district and hopefully find something. Everything at the stores closest me was too dark and I'd rather not order online but it may come to that. I'm planning on using some sort of suiting, probably wool or a blend.
Up next will be undergarments and small accessories ;)

Planning on making Peggy's red white and blue suit from the promo images and first episode of Agent Carter for DragonCon and possibly NYCC this year, so I've been digging around the internet and my HDX video of the ep. To start off, one thing I've discovered about making a costume based on a tv show still on the air (and one that's actually based on a girl) is that it's SO much easier to find the bits and pieces they used for the show places that you can still buy them. That being said, some of these were harder to find than others and some are harder to buy already. All of the links are below the photo, let me know if any of them sell out/stop working.
Starting from the top...
The Hat:

But if you want to go with fully screen accurate, I think these are the ones.

The Shoes
The shoes are another more expensive bit (seeing a trend here?) but these are definitely the ones worn in the show and Peggy wears them again in ep. 6.
So that's all I have, as far as things I know are a) still available for purchase and b) definitely the same ones worn on screen. Will be posting again soon with patterns I'm using for her clothes as well as all about the stuff I'll be wearing that won't be screen accurate but as close as I could get (earrings, undergarments, and a bag mostly).
Finally getting back to costumes, and starting with iconic Agent Carter blue suit/red hat.
So far, I've done a ton of research and started buying the bits I'm going to buy, as well as patterns. Gonna venture in to the city sometime next week for fabric and get started on those.
Will be posting links and info on all the screen-used pieces that I've found (I've managed to find most of the accessories) so keep an eye out if you want any of those.
