#costume breakdown

[nekohooch]

I promised I would provide some detail costume breakdown of my Azem summoning circle. It took me about 85 hours total over 19 days. The skirt is overlayed over a red petticoat (because it’s the only one I had long enough) I made the skirt about 7 in longer than floor length for me because I’m wearing platform shoes!

The skirt is two layers of black chiffon. The bottom layer is a normal circle skirt, top layer is a seven panel circle skirt. Figuring out the math for this part was hellacious I do not recommend it. The top was gold lamé with black chiffon overlay. The waistband circles are gold upholstery bolts that I used bolt cutters to remove the stabby bits of and the beams from the waistband are from a fringey door cover that I dissected. I then twisted the beams (fringe) and fastened them to the skirt.

The Ps and the filigree things are from bathroom wall decals that I cut into pieces. Then I added rhinestones, these triangle book decorations, and sequins for the designs and the giant summoning circles.

The rest of the designs are various additional pieces of fringe, rhinestones, and hand painted designs with gold calligraphy ink. I almost added my statics job symbols into the summoning circles but I didn’t have time.

There’s still more I want to add to this but I’m ecstatic how it turned out and felt like an absolute goddess.

The third outfit Phryne wears in "Murder & the Maiden" (Season 3, Episode 2) is a gorgeous blue and purple coat with a matching purple cloche accented with blue floral embroidery.

The star of this outfit is the beautiful chinoise coat made of black silk with midnight blue damask floral designs and purple silk trim on the pockets and her lapped sleeve cuffs. Her coat is lined with purple silk, and has a standing mandarin collar with a single hidden closure at the waist. Marion Boyce, the costume designer, added cut out elements from original 1920's silk embroidery, attaching two large blue flowers to the left shoulder, as well as one on her hat. She finishes off her look with a blue silk organza floral brooch pinned to her shoulder.

Her accompanying cloche is a matching purple felt with a tight molded brim and decorative swoop near Phryne's left cheek, along with one of the silk embroidered flower motifs also seen on her coat.

Underneath her coat, Miss Fisher wears her dark blue camisole with small scalloped trim on the straight neckline, along with her navy blue wide leg silk faille pants. She accessorizes with a bag made of the same fabric as her coat, long teardrop earrings, and a large purple amethyst and diamond ring.

Thirteenth Doctor's in Power of the Doctor || Costume Breakdown

Costume breakdown:

- Tenth Doctor’s Tie (Giorgio Armani)

- Seventh Doctor's Sweater (Lovarzi)

- Navy Plaid Pants

- Eleventh Doctor’s Boots (All Saints Layer Boots)

- Fifth Doctor’s Celery (Abbyshot)

- Twelfth Doctor’s Shirt (spearpoint shirt)

- Thirteenth Doctor’s Coat (Her Universe)

- Fourth Doctor's Scarf (Lovarzi?)

Notes:

Was bored so I did a breakdown of the Thirteenth Doctor's costume that Jodie (and Sacha) wore in the story 'Power of the Doctor'. Just something to note, majority of these items can no longer being sold from the original source.

Majority of the costume elements differed in colour from the costume pieces they reference. These range from the lighter coloured wool in the question mark vest and the scarf.

This can be attributed to being sourced from other places like Lovarzi. They sell the jumper in a strangely lighter shade compared to the original. But interestingly, in the instance where Lovarzi does have accurate colours, they used a different one (maybe to offset the lighter coloured vest?).

Something else to note is that the pants of the costume looks to be referencing different Doctors(?). You could say it was a reference to the Second Doctor or the Twelfth's but the larger rectangle pattern looks closer to the Seventh Doctor's. I'd just call it somewhat of a remix of them.

For the Twelfth Doctor's shirt, it's called a spearpoint shirt (Pointy collar). A version of this shirt can be found on an Etsy listing as "Men's Spearpoint and Tab Collar Brand White 1960s Shirt White Cotton" which is sold by "FashionPointIN". This one has the buttoned cuffs (which can be undone and unfolded which is shown in the costume), something to note is that the one in the listing also has a buttoned collar (which could be removed for costume accuracy sake).

Pearl’s Red Dress— A Costume Breakdown

Pearl— the prequel to X, directed by Ti West. A story about a young (murderous) girl and her ambitions to leave the family farm to become…. A star! (The murder of at least three people sold separately, batteries not included)

Okay, I’ll confess: I haven’t seen the movie yet. I got about… 60% through of X before I realized that due to the rambunctious sex noises, it was probably a movie best suited for viewing when my family wasn’t home.. and I have not had the time to go back and watch X and then Pearl. I’m still trying to figure out a way to watch it with my sibling (whom I have made sit through eight saw movies, Jordan Peele’s Nope, Talk to Me, and Thanksgiving).

But I am armed with two of my greatest resources when it comes to costume breakdowns:

Pinterest

My eyesight (which is definitely 20/20 and I have never worn glasses in my life no I am not lying)

So, here it is: Pearl’s red dress: an analysis and some cosplay tips.

So: Pearl’s red dress is her mother’s dress, borrowed (stolen?) for her audition to become a star. The movie takes place in 1918, and because Pearl’s family is a little strapped for cash at the moment, plus along with her mother’s frugal tendencies, it’s safe to assume that the dress dates anywhere from 1910 onward, as I feel that it’s unlikely that a dress would be any older than that with zero remarks on it being out of style. This means that the dress is an ~Edwardian~ dress.

Now, my understanding of Edwardian fashion is loose at best, so take everything I say with like fifteen grains of salt. What marks the Edwardian era for me is two things:

Decrease in sleeve puff. We’ve moved away from Leg of Mutton sleeves and they will slowly grow more and more narrow in shape until the 20s, give or take, but we still have some gathers.

The smoothening of the front post-pidgeon breast period. A lot of Victorian bodices have very structured seaming and have a very “tailored” look compared with the relative softness of Edwardian bodices.

Compare and constrast Bernadette Banner’s Victorian waistcoat look (yes it’s a waistcoat my point still stands here) versus the 1910 Jolly Holiday Edwardian gown.

Now, based off of my very surface level research, Pearl’s dress seems closest to the style of the lingerie dress, which makes sense because a) this is clearly a nicer dress, and it makes sense to be a style that was generally “nicer” and b) the farm is in the South USA, so it also makes sense in context for this dress to be a lighter dress.

That leads us to another question, though. Why red? Well, the answer is simple. Red shows up on camera excellently, especially with the colour grading the movie used, and also… this is Pearl’s mom’s dress, and that woman is way too practical to have a white dress when they live on a farm.

So… what makes up Pearl’s dress?

Out of cursory examination, the bodice is made out of one front piece with possible darts for basic fitting underneath all that lace, and has two back pieces. It buttons in the back, and in the front there are fake buttons. The sleeves look bunchy here, but based off of the other images I’ve seen, they do end above the elbows with a cuff at least two inches wide.

I can’t see any seams on the skirt, but I’m guessing it’s made of at least three panels. From my cursory knowledge about Edwardian skirts, particularly lingerie skirts, they are quite ‘trumpet shaped’. This shape is partially achieved by a slight train, and a ruffle at the bottom. Pearl has a ruffle, but the train? Well…

The picture above seems like it has just the slightest train, but while she’s dancing on stage, she doesn’t seem to have it?

(Yes the above image is hot garbage. I’m working with Pinterest’s finest here)

Now, the lace! On the bodice is at least four types of lace. This is the best guess I have after looking at many many pictures and playing around with the settings to see if I could change the contrast. There is also lace above the sash and right above where the ruffle is sewn on.

So to make this dress, I started looking for patterns I searched high. I searched low. I searched the big four pattern website. Eventually I just googled Edwardian dress patterns. And then I found it. The perfect pattern.

The 1914 Afternoon Dress from Sense and Sensibility patterns. the bodice is basically perfect: back closures, a smooth front that can be adapted to wear with or without a corset. Now, from what the pictures show of the skirt, it’s smooth in the front and gathered in the back but the shape is not perfect when it comes to the trumpet shape, but the actual dress doesn’t have it. Personally, I would just flare the panels a bit more to get some more swoosh, and the ruffle would have to be added, but that would be simple because ruffles are basically just rectangles!

All that’s left to do is add enough lace to kill a horse, braid your hair, and definitely not chase your sister in law with an axe!

Happy sewing!

@2-lines-and-a-circle​ Sorry for such a late response, I do adore your question~ Hopefully this little visual guide helps!

For both Hamal’s headscarf and shirt, I pulled inspiration from other patterns on Magic Carpet, mainly the center clover design for the shirt and the trim pattern for the headscarf. Because Jamil’s and Kalim’s dorm uniforms really draw inspiration from the flames and Cave of Wonders motifs on the original pattern, I thought it would be more appropriate to focus on some of the smaller pattern details to play more into Hamal and Carpet’s more shy personality aspects.

And then as I was drawing this breakdown, I thought it would be cute if some of the center pattern was used on the sole of his sneakers.

Hopefully this answers your question!

This is an appreciation post for the degradation of Zach’s gloves over his full Tugger run!

They start clean and crisp with 4 full lines of short silver cone studs, but over time, the gloves have worn in and the studs tarnish to bronze and start falling out.

At first I thought they might be two separate pairs of gloves until I put together the timeline of the social media posts. Mystery solved!

In IWTV, Lestat wears several pairs of trousers where the belt loops are below the waistband. I've never seen/noticed that in anything else before. Is that a historical style? What is it called? Google is giving me nothing and I'm dying over this detail.

these are known as "drop-loop" trousers! i love this detail - it's very distinctive, although i'd associate it a bit more with the 1940s/50s than the earlier decades of IWTV season 1.

IWTV's costumes really embrace the high-waisted silhouettes of menswear in early/mid-20th century america, something that some historical dramas tone down to fit in with modern tastes. (21st century suit pants tend to be tighter and sit lower on the hips, aiming for a "swimmers build" aesthetic.)

sam reid has the perfect figure for 1930s/40s fashion: a narrow waist and wide shoulders. pleated suit trousers have extra fabric around the hips/ass and are cinched in at the natural waist, which a) is comfortable and b) makes the waist look narrower, creating an almost hourglass shape depending on the cut. to modern eyes it can look more feminine than contemporary men's suits, which plays into lestat's Whole Deal.

one pair of lestat's drop-loop trousers (i wish i could find a better pic!) create even MORE emphasis on the waist by leaving a cummerbund-like waistband of fabric above the belt. it's the kind of finicky tailoring detail that makes it obvious that lestat is a real clotheshorse. he and louis clearly spend a ton of money on tailoring.

i also suspect that lestat's american wardrobe was influenced by the fact that he socialized with and lived alongside black people in the new orleans jazz scene. the most exaggerated styles of drop-loop trousers are something i'd associate with Zoot Suits, which were not a white/anglo style and would presumably have been worn by young black men in early 1940s new orleans. (in ep 1, louis is extremely fashionable and accessorized to the hilt, whereas lestat looks like he's wearing a historical costume.)

on a final note, i love that louis continues to wear high-waisted trousers in the present day. his modern outfits are quite soft, vulnerable and minimalist - close to the kind of simple-but-expensive clothes we'd expect to see on one of the cooler young tech billionaires, but with a silhouette that calls back to his youth.

The third outfit of "Murder & the Maiden" (Season 3, Episode 2) is Phryne's disguise of a brown velvet jacket, black camisole and pants, along with an embroidered headwrap worn while trying to draw out the Russian Anarchists.

Borrowing Tatiana's embroidered headwrap and brown velvet coat to confuse the anarchists, the rest of Phryne's wardrobe is in similarly muted tones. The deep brown velvet caplet with mid-length sleeves and a wide collar (possibly allowing for a hood) is worn on top of her black camisole with a straight neckline and decorative scalloped edging. Her classic black wide leg silk faille pants add to the practicality and color of the outfit.

She accessorizes with fawn colored gloves embroidered with a black emblem of wheat, and a beautiful hand embroidered brown head wrap which features a variety of colors and types of floral embroidery, from large orange flowers to green grass to blue and red sprigs. The earth colors tie into her large leather bag and add to the somber tone of the scene. Phryne finishes off the outfit with dark strapped heels.

Breaking Down Over Plants

I’ve been thinking about using plants in costume breakdown for a while. I know from gardening in the summer that plant roots can run deep and cause all sorts of havoc so I wanted to see what would happen to my costumes when plants were allowed to grow on the fabric.

My hope with this experiment is that I’ll see some interesting-looking damage to the costume piece that I am breaking down. Ideally, the roots will burrow down into the fabric, and as they grow and warp and change the fabric.

I am starting with a vest that I made for Stanpipe, It’s made of cream scuba suede and lined with a cotton plant print fabric taken from the remnants of a curtain. I really like how it turned out but it's way too clean and pristine for Stanpipe, even if the plants end up doing nothing I’ll still be doing a lot of ageing and distressing to get a rotten and decayed effect.

I have a whole packet of cress seeds and I’m going to apply them to the front of the vest and then if successful the back. I’m going to try my best to let the cress live out its full life cycle. I will care for the cress in the same way I would a regular cress plant and will be attempting to keep it growing for as long as possible. I’m going to see if I can make a time lapse of the growth as I go.

Day one was very boring, I dampened the vest and laid it out on a tray, then I spread the cress seeds out on the front. Cress is a quick grower so we should see germination in the next few days.
