I was ask to make a costume for a queen.Well , with no budget it could be hard but I try to do my best and I think it looks good on the student.This is the portrait of the real character , the empress Anna Ivanovna. I must say I was never ask to do a replica of this dress so don't be surprise if it doesn't looks like the original.
The dress is , again , too small to fit on my sewing dummy.The bodice of the dress is made of a fabric I gave which help a lot to make this look more luxurious.The skirt is simply popeline .It close on the left with velcro.
To gave some volume to the dress , I had two cushions I made on the back.It's not too heavy and look good.
Of course there is no budget to make a fur cloak.Fur can be so expensive when it's not in sold.I thought at least I could use the tiny fabric(which was a skirt)to make some kind of cloak.It's simply a wide rectangle attach at the shoulders.
A jewel I had on the front.It's funny to see how little details can change a look.At left you can see the earings that match with the necklace I use.It's attach on the front just below the shoulder.
A dress made for a character , which I know nothing about it , but should looks like something Madame de Pompadour.The bodice is close on the left like most of the dress.The embroided part was a great squarre of fabric the teacher offer me to possibly use.The white strip fabric is a faux skirt , it's only one pannel on the front.
I made a bum roll to wear under the skirt .That may be not the best choice but from my point of view without it , it seems dull.
A better view of the details of the embroided bodice.With my new camera it's mostly impossible to do a close up better then that.
The real Madame the Pompadour. Like I wrote for the previous dress, I wasn't ask to make a replica.
Even if I was ask to make replica of such dress , the budget does not allow to make something very close of it and surely I will decline and refuse to do so.I did use what I was ask to work with.The major problem was the time.If I had a little more , I could add more details or more lace , but that wasn't possible.In any case , I do my best with all the restrictions and hope the students feel good in their costumes that's the most important.
