Just posted my first ever reel today, which outlines the process of making this corset (and footage of me wearing it) 🎥 I used secondhand bedsheets and created it as a mockup for future corset projects, but it turned out well enough that it quickly became a staple in my wardrobe. Go peep my reel to see me wearing this corset at RenFest and around the Florida Keys! 🧵 Pattern: @simplicity_creative @americanduchess S8162 Fabric: @goodwillint @goodwillmanasota Other materials: Thread and ribbon from @scrapitupcincy 🧵 Grommets and bias tape from @joann_stores 🧵Zip ties as boning from @loweshomeimprovement 🧵 Styling: secondhand shirt from @gabrielle.deanna ✨ skirt, belt, and shoes from Goodwill 🧵 🪡 ✁ #renfest #keywest #fortzacharytaylor #history #historicalcostuming #costume #corset #stays #fashion #1700s #18thcentury #secondhandfashion #upcycle #sewing #imadethis #florida #memade #diyfashion #secondhandfirst #vintagefashionnotvintagevalues #americanduchess #simplicity8162 #s8162 #simplicitypatterns #handmadewithjoann #lowesgoals (at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQ8zknrL_D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One day I'll take proper pictures with a black light to show the glow in the dark fabric in all its glory. One day!

Repost from @barbaramills22 • Reposted from @rachaelkcosplay Thank @newyorkcomiccon for an amazing weekend! Special shout out to @outlander_starz for having an amazing panel and giving me the opportunity to meet @samheughan and @diana_gabaldon making my dreams come through. Also, congrats to @kylander_kouture for representing us Sassenachs and winning the Cosplay competition. It was an amazing experience for my first competition ever so shout out to the judges @captainkayceecosplay @cowbuttcrunchies and @justjaremi This weekend reminded me how much I love making costumes and going to conventions. I missed it so much and competing has inspired me to do so much more too! I am so sorry for the lack of photos but I was running around all day. I know there will be professional photos later from the competition etc. Hope to see you all next year 💜 #outlander #outlanderstarz #newyorkcomiccon #nycc21 #samheughan #sassenach #clairefraser #reddress #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayers #cosplaycompetition #outlanderseries #dianagabaldon #18thcenturydress #18thcentury #18thcenturycostume #americanduchess #cartridgepleats #newyorkcomiccon2021 #conventions (at Richland Center, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVCYB4QsszW/?utm_medium=tumblr
Earlier today, I found a few more Renfest pictures on my computer that I never shared and decided I’d share them the next time I had a reason to post something pirate-y. And now I’ve just learned that yesterday was #talklikeapirateday so I’m gonna just share these now, especially since the reel I posted of making this corset has been so popular! 🏴☠️ Happy belated Talk Like a Pirate Day! 🧵 Corset pattern: @simplicity_creative @americanduchess S8162 Fabric for corset and skirt: @goodwillint @goodwillmanasota Necklace: @fairywood_grove Shirt: Goodwill Other materials: Thread and ribbon from @scrapitupcincy 🧵 Grommets and bias tape from @joann_stores 🧵Zip ties as boning from @loweshomeimprovement 🧵 🪡 ✁ #renfest #renaissancefestival #history #historicalcostuming #costume #corset #stays #fashion #renfaire #1700s #18thcentury #secondhandfashion #upcycle #sewing #imadethis #florida #centralflorida #dadecity #pirate #pirateship #milkmaidbraids #memade #diyfashion #secondhandfirst #vintagefashionnotvintagevalues #simplicity8162 #s8162 #handmadewithjoann #lowesgoals (at Bay Area Renaissance Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiwHgNPoR2T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not a craft I have made but very exciting all the same! I received my American Duchess Bernadette shoes! I love them so much :) . . . @americanduchess @bernadettebanner #americanduchess #bernadettebanner #bernadette #edwardian #edwardianfashion #edwardianshoes #shoes #americanduchessshoes #historicalshoes #pumpkinspice https://www.instagram.com/p/CK5aKG6geGo/?igshid=13usys7yzlczd
