#trulyvictorian

The debut of Musical Con was a phantastically positive experience as lovers of musical theatre came together from all over the world to share our passion. I had a great time and met some amazing people who have truly inspired me to work more on my sewing and my own love of theatre. MANY more photos to come over the next few days. @phantomonabudget @journeytothelair @broden185 @the_bearded_cosplayer @miss_13th @daeriscosplay @phantomtea_cosplay @sambate20 @fionacosplays93 @dixierarity @themrurk @shaes.spirit @gracekupcraft @davidupcraftofficial #musicalcon #musicalconcosplay #musicaltheater #cosplay #christinedaae #christinedaaecosplay #phantomoftheopera #wishinggown #wishingdress #wishingcloak #trulyvictorian #trulyvictorianpatterns #thisisforthefans (at ExCeL London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkFoyUOsYOB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's done! My 2020 project ❤️ Okay I admit, the hat is still missing and I want to add some boning to the jacket. I might do another petticoat and a proper corset (right now I'm wearing bra+ underbust BUT it is wearable and it's the thing that took the most time to finish. Normally I rush things because I want something new for an upcoming event. This time I just wanted to do a bustle dress. (And I have no clue where to wear it 😅) I did a lot of handsewing and tried to make sure that there are no visible machine seams on the outside. Historical accuracy was not my goal, but I had 1880s in mind as inspiration and if I can trust my limited knowledge I'd say it's at least historical adequate 🤣 Opinions? 👗✂️📋 Patterns used: Jacket - Burda 7880 (highly modified front part and sleeves) Underskirt - Truly Victorian TV261 Apron and Bustle - Truly Victorian TV365 Corset - Cosplay McCalls Shapeshifter by @anachronisminaction ___________ #bustle #bustledress #victoriana #victoriandress #vintageaesthetic #victorianfashion #steampunk #historicalsewing #historical #diy #trulyvictorian #burda #TV261 #TV365 #Burda7880 #apron #seamstress #tailor #handmade #steampunkfashion #costube #handsewing #burdahistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdoZfpDRgd/?igshid=179cftpncgqs5

Going to be working on some sewing projects for me! The blues will be a bodice and two different wash overskirts, while the green and fuchsia will be their own matching set. All of them will coordinate with a blue 4-gore underskirt I made last year. #sewingwip #sewing #victorian #trulyvictorian #trulyvictorianpatterns #fabric https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nOqm_J7yK/?igshid=sq3fqpbo084i

The whole ensemble I wore for the @aeronauticaband music video (you can find the link in their bio 😉 "Das Ende der Zeit") It's actually the first ever "victorianesque" thing I ever made. The undergarments need some work but I still like it. Skirt pattern is "Truly Victorian" __________ #neovictorian #victorian #bustle #bustledress #steampunk #steampunkfashion #steampunkmusic #steampunkmodel #historicalsewing #trulyvictorian #sewing #seamstress (hier: LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern) https://www.instagram.com/p/B08NGrKjIAN/?igshid=1mvcoqjq9rku2

May I present: my 2020 project in all its glory ❤️ This has been my biggest project to date or at least the most time consuming one. Being mainly a steampunk, historical accuracy was not my goal, but rather make it historical "agreeable" or historical "adequate" if there's such a term. My main inspiration were 1880s. Any suggestions for accessories? Patterns used: Hat - Butterick - Making History B6397 Jacket - Burda 7880 (highly modified front part and sleeves) Underskirt - Truly Victorian TV261 - 1185 Four-Gore Underskirt Apron and Bustle - Truly Victorian TV365 - 1883 August Overskirt Corset - @cosplaymccalls Shapeshifter by @anachronisminaction The corset is just an underbust paired with a bra because I currently don't have an alternative, but making one is on my list. The bustle underskirt was bought from a theatre sale but is very similar to Truly Victorian TV108 - Grand Bustle. Trimmings by @finefrenchlaces who happened to have the perfect shade of greyish blue. ______ #bustledress #bustle #trulyvictorian #tv365 #tv261 #victorian #costube #sewing #handmade #corset #burda #burda7880 #butterick #b6397 #costume #costumer #historical #historicalsewing #historicallyadequate https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo0GQ8jCzj/?igshid=mt3hvi6207gu

Late to the party! But I am participating in #fallforcostume started by @redthreaded !! First photo by @dreadpiraterose for her portrait project years ago! #intro : I am a NYC based nerd and costume enthusiast. I have no real sewing ability but that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying dressing up. I’m most known for my kimono collection and expertise, which I don’t consider costuming as it’s a cultural garment. I’ve collected and worn kimono for 15 years and am involved in the Japanese community in NY. I participate in lectures and panels on kimono when possible. I’m also an avid nerd and steampunk connoisseur. I was heavily involved in the NY steampunk scene but have taken a step back in recent years to focus on my love of kimono. Most of my cosplays & costumes are either commissions from talented friends or vintage thrift and specialty items. In the first photo I’m wearing a vintage blouse, a opera length string of pearls, vintage gloves, and a lace neck corset by @kvodesign ! #pattern : so since I have the most basic of basic sewing abilities I don’t use patterns. However I did purchase the #trulyvictorian 1884 Wash Overskirt pattern years ago for a Steampunk Scarlet Witch costume that never really got off the ground. Maybe one day I’ll go back and give it a try. #costuming #steampunk #steampunkfashion #gothaesthetic #vintagestyle #halloweenmonth #kvodesign #vintagethrift #redthreaded #instagramchallenge #trulyvictorianpatterns #1884washoverskirt https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3WvP_AN5X/?igshid=wftsmof95c5h

Some (reverse order!) progress photos of the trim for my newest underskirt. I am Exceptionally Pleased with how the little box pleats came out with this spacing-- they remind me of little violets! Special nod to @historicalsewing - this was inspired by the ribbon trims class that is available through her website. I haven't gone through all the tutorials yet, but there are trims in there I'm absolutely looking forward to adding to different skirts and frocks. #sewingwip #sewing #historicalsewing #historicfashion #trulyvictorian #1870sunderskirt #ribbon #ribbontrim https://www.instagram.com/p/B9sO8q6ADz3/?igshid=h4qcigjrcdg4
