I created a shirt waistcoat and trousers for a costume as part of a work related module.
The trousers were tailor made, with linen stays and a button fly fastening. I made Button braces to go with the trousers, i made them from leather and cotton webbing.
The shirt was finished off with placket openings and a collar stand. I added to it by making a starched collar piece that was detachable.
The waistcoat was made from wool and satin with a buckle fastening at the back to tighten the fit. It had welt pockets and was lined With a cotton sateen.
This is the finished Suit on the catwalk of the Degree show at Cleveland College of Art and Design.
Costume degree show runs from the 7th-15th june in the Church, Church Square Hartlepool.
The suit is pictured here; the shirt waistcoat and trousers, with the another street costume (made by fellow student Ashleigh fisher)
