http://londoncostumes.livejournal.com/1308.html
Day 2: British Museum and Museum of London. 30th March 2007 (15:28). So yesterday I went to the British Museum and the Museum of London. British Museum: Woah. LARGE. And I mean LARGE. I have no owrds to describe how LARGE that thing is. The Egyptians, Romans, Greeks - it's unbelievabe. I took pictures, but, as usual, I still found no possibility to upload any of them. And then I turned around a corner in that exhibit and faced the oil painting of Queen Elizabeth I by Gower - the "Armada" Portrait. The la...

Update on 1918 chemisette - Chaos in order. Update on 1918 chemisette. Feb 16th, 2011 12:33 pm. This is the instructions that I wanted to follow with no alterations. As you can see in the last two photos, there are buttonholes, and there are shoulder sloping. Ignore the wobbling, - I haven't ironed it after sewing. 2011-02-16 05:54 pm (UTC). And your button holes looks a lot better than mine. 2011-02-17 11:53 am (UTC). 2011-02-16 09:59 pm (UTC). I love that your dummy has a spiked collar.

Costuming projects by Kat Brown aka Radclyffe. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. The beginnings.past projects. So, why this blog? For myself really, so I can track my projects and show others what I'm working on. Who knows what else it could become, but for the time being here are some things I've made that I wish I had documented in this way. Here is the first dress for portraying Mistress Mary Radclyffe at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI. www.bristolfaire.com/bristol. And somehow every project...

So I had this chemise. got it from a friend who had made it and it was beautiful with really long full sleeves and it was this light soft silk with a gathered neckline that I took to wearing Italian squarneck style. I wore it all last season at Bristol, through the sweat and the dirt and the dust and the rain. Killed it in one day. Then, thinking about my open ruff, this one here,. I alw...
