Elizabeth I Coronation

Puppenkleidung
Von Zeit zu Zeit mache ich auch Puppenkleidung – hauptsächlich für amerikanische 40-cm-Modepuppen. Dies allerdings nur, wenn ich a) die Puppe und b) das Kostüm mag… wie auch immer, hier sind einige meiner Puppenkleider: Satine aus ‚Moulin Rouge‘ – Black Diamonds Satine aus ‚Moulin Rouge‘- Rote Verführerin Mina aus „Bram Stoker’s Dracula“ Königin Isabella aus […]
Doll Clothing
From time to time, I make doll clothing. This just when I a) like the costume and b) like the doll… anyway, here are some of my doll costumes: Satine from ‚Moulin Rouge‘ – Black Diamonds Satine from ‚Moulin Rouge‘- Red Temptress Mina from „Bram Stoker’s Dracula“ Queen Isabel from „1492“ Commissions…? Arwen from „Lord of […]
Meine Kostüme
In diesem Teil meines Webs werde ich meine Kostüme inklusive des Herstellungsprozesses zeigen. Ich habe diesen Teil der Seite so aufgeteilt, als das ich die Kostüme in vier Kategorien aufgeteilt habe: Elizabethanisch, Viktorianisch, ‚Verschiedene‘ und ‚Andere‘ Kostüme. Dies habe ich getan, um eine bessere und logischere Aufteilung zu erhalten. Jedes Kostüm hat eine „Folgt mir!“ […]
Real-Life Research
You would probably be rather surprised how many things you can still find from Elizabethan times in your close environment if you just look for them; and sometimes you might stumble over interesting oddities. Churches and museums are great sources for such studies, as well as some movies and, of course, paintings, this is why […]
Planned Costumes
Planned projects for the near to far future Update May 2012: I’ve edited the list to sort out some costumes that I will probably never make; to remove some that I *have* already made, and to add some which I would like to make. Here are some gowns that I would still like to make […]
My Costumes
In this part of my site I will show you some of my costumes including the making process. I have now updated the page insofar as that I have split the costumes in three categories: Elizabethan, Victorian and various costumes. I’ve done this to give you as well as me a better overview over the […]

Other Costumes
Costumes I have made for other people Actually, I have made over 200 costumes for other people in the past years which would well fill a whole web and more. However, as this site is rather new, I’ve decided to show only those costumes here that I have made in the last year and will […]

Coronation gown

Navigation for this site: (it’s best to read the entire page from top to bottom, though) Introduction • Tudor Rose Brocade Sources & Introduction This dress is probably one of the quickest ever put together (at least of my gowns on this site). It’s probably also the gown for which I didn’t touch the […]

Skirt

The skirt was probably the simplest thing of the whole gown. I’ve taken an approximately 140 inches (3,5 meter) long strip of fabric (note: the pattern on this fabric doesn’t run from left to right, as on most fabrics – it runs along the length of fabric), made a hem of about 10cm (4 inch) […]

Forepart

When planning the forepart, I already knew that I had to make something really, really nice – because, let’s face it, the rest of the gown is rather plain for a coronation gown… First I wanted to use a plain fabric and over and over embroider it with Tudor roses in gold. But then I […]

Bodice

Making of the bodice Well, not much to say… I’ve just started making it with the ‚Lady’s wardrobe‘ patterns by Margo Anderson. Here are a few pictures of the first test fitting: Back of the bodice lining, pinned together. It’s a bit too long – which I did intentionally, so I will have a longer […]

Planning

Navigation for this site: (it’s best to read the entire page from top to bottom, though) Study of the portrait gown • Study of the movie costume Differences between portrait gown and movie costume How I want to make my gown & When I had the gown on my planning site, I wrote: I […]

Sleeves & Cuffs

I made the sleeves from the same fabric as all other parts of the gown. When I was decorating the forepart, I thought that I had to match the sleeves to this extremely decorated piece of clothing, this is why I have decorated the upper, outer sleeves with: about 50 rhinestones in various shapes and […]

Doublet

The doublet was made the same way as the bodice. First, the lining, made of two layers of herringbone weave linen…: …then the outer shell of the doublet, sewn to the lining…: …and afterwards, hemming the sleeves holes down and adding hooks, eyes and a placket to the front.
