Personal Project for second year Fda Costume Construction


For my personal project I wanted to focus on victorian period costume. I chose a dress pattern from the Janet Arnold book Patterns of Fashion.
I finished this dress mostly by hand, which took many many hours to complete.
I entered it into the Patterns of Fashion competition with the costume society.

The dress was made from silver and dark grey silk, with a lining of haboutai silk and muslin.
I made a corset and crinoline which are worn beneath the bodice and skirt.
