Stede has these utterly ridiculous embellishments to his pockets. Five little bows, three of which are so long they dangle past the hem of his coat.

To recreate this look, I used a small bit of the trim I used for the coat edge at the top with teal ribbon threaded through it. Then I dyed beige twill ribbon tape a darker brown to use for the vertical trim and bows.

I am a firm believer in the concept that everything must have pockets, so I added a welt pocket underneath the flap so it has fully functional pockets.

Voila! Ridiculousness achieved. 😍

"I DON'T NEED A REFERENCE PHOTO, I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT KRAKEN TENTACLES LOOK LIKE!" Narrator: They did not know what KRAKEN TENTACLES LOOK LIKE. Not at all, actually. Not in the slightest. 😅 The theme for @makeup_side_quest this month was Sea Creatures and since I'm still on my Our Flag Means Death obsession, I decided to do broken hearted Edward Teach being taken over by The Kraken 🐙 within.

The most important piece of the entire cosplay-- the frock coat. I used the digital Stede Bonnet Jacket Cosplay Pattern from Cospayton.com as a base for the pattern. I did have to modify it a fair bit, but I'm an experienced seamstress and it gave me a good starting point. One of the biggest changes I made to the pattern was adding the full pleats to the back of the coat to provide the full skirt look Stede has in the show. That was a bit tricky to get it to hang just right, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

My goal for my Stede Bonnet cosplay was to create it as close to screen accurate as posible. I knew from the onset that finding the right trim for the coat would be the hardest part.

After analyzing zoomed in screenshots, it appears that Stede's coat has brown metallic lace trim in a geometric diamond pattern that's wider at the cuffs and back than the front.

It also has teal Soutache cording woven through on one edge on the front trim, and on both edges on the cuffs.

I searched for AGES to try to find the right trim (and really, the entire cosplay hinged on this part!), and just about sang with joy when I finally found an absolutely marvelous version on aliexpress.com: "Vintage Gold Metallic Embroidered Lace Crochet Trim". It was a steal at $29 for 10 yards-- which sounds like a lot, but I ended up using 8 yards of it. It shipped from China, so took a month to ship to me.

It's a lovely antique gold, but was too light of a color for the cosplay. I first dyed a test piece using All Purpose Rit dye, which only darkened it a little bit. The trim is polyester, so then I tried dying it using iDye Poly Brown polyester dye, which darkened it to a very nice shade. I cut off the scalloped edge on one sice, then wove in teal ribbon on the edge.

I couldn't find or order teal Soutache cording that was used in the show in time to finish the cosplay by my deadline, so I used ribbon instead.

I narrowed the 2.75" trim by folding it under to be 1.5" wide for the front of the coat, and 2" wide for the cuffs and back.

It was a bit tricky curving it around the neckline and the curve at the back, but I managed to do with pleats, hand sewing them into place.

I'm utterly delighted with how well it turned out. #ourflagmeansdeath #ourflagmeansdeathcosplay #stedebonnetcosplay #cosplayinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkrEf_Pc7K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
