When I saw the first pictures of this:

costume of Arya from the movie Eragon, I was right away fascinated by it.
The asymmetric, tight fitting construction simply caught me by my costumer's honor, and as I needed a somewhat 'everyday-fitting' outfit anyway, and as black leather is my favorite kind of material for everyday wear, I decided to make it.
More pictures of it, by the way, can be found at Costumersguide, where it's described as 'Silver armor', though I couldn't find anything silver about it. Well, perhaps that's because I have just seen the pictures and not the movie...

I started by taking the two pictures above (and some more, but that's not relevant for the basic making process), adjusted the light so that I could see better and traced out the seams in an image editing software:

Then I made a pattern for this, plus draped the skirt free hand.

The 'vest' pattern consists of 28 pattern pieces (simply because it's asymmetric!) and the skirt of 29. Plis, I made some sort of blouse with long sleeves to go underneath the vest.
The patterns on vest and skirt were achieved by simply applying transparent silicone to the leather.

Here's what my completed outfit looks like on a dress mannequin. The bust seems a bit pointed, that's because the dress mannequin doesn't exactly have my own bust shape ;-)
Oh, and by the way: The lacing at the back of the vest is real, but I close it with velcro strips along the angled neckline and along the side. Seemed more practical to me ;-)
Pictures of me wearing that outfit, as often, have yet to be taken.

The pictures are all taken with a flash, save the last one which is a bit blurred for exactly that reason. Believe it or not: all those pictures were taken outside in daylight, but the camera refuses to see the black outfit as being photographed in such *sigh*...

Contact: Please write to naergilien@yahoo.de with the word "Costume" in the subject line. My mail server will delete all mails automatically that don't have this word in the subject line; except if you are on my whitelist (which you are probably not if I have never written to you).
It may take me some days to answer - please be patient. If I shouldn't answer within a week, it's almost safe to say that I didn't receive your mail (for what reason ever) - in that case please resend it.

All images of my costumes and also the tutorial pictures as well as the descriptions of my work and various techniques on this site are copyrighted to me.
So don't take my pictures for publishing (e.g. other websites, books etc.; no matter if they are commercial or not) without asking me before you do so and especially not without getting my permission to do this.
My server is mostly set up in a way that it doesn't allow hot linking on images; so if you need to link to me, please link to one of my sites (hint: that's everything ending with ".htm" or "html" in your browser's address bar) on which you found the picture that you would like to link to.

All images of paintings or original movie costumes were not taken by me (except if stated so) and are on this site for educational purposes.

Es kann einige Tage dauern, bis ich Euch antworten kann - bitte habt Geduld. Wenn ich nicht innerhalb einer Woche antworte, so habe ich Eure Mail wahrscheinlich nicht erhalten (aus welchem Grunde auch immer) - in diesem Fall schickt sie bitte einfach nochmal los.
