    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 […]

    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 […]

Study

Navigation for this part of the page: [catlist categorypage=yes] A gazillion people have already studied the Cranach gown, so I don’t expect that I will come up with something new. However, I have discovered something that I have not seen come up in any other Cranach study, so I thought I should write it down. […]

Planning

Navigation for this part of the page: [catlist categorypage=yes] I’ve decided to start with some basic measures that I would need to actually make the gown.. As explained in the planning of my ‚Hardwick‘ gown, I’ve first laid a digital grid over the painting of the ‚Magdalena‘ so that I could estimate the actual width […]

Neckring

Navigation for this part of the page: [catlist categorypage=yes] Surprisingly I didn’t finish of the clothing parts for this costume first. Instead, I suddenly had the inspiration to make the neck ring. I used Fimo (an oven-hardening, flexible clay), leaf gold and Swarovski rhinestones. Here’s how I made it: First, I sculpted the neck ring […]

Skirt

Navigation for this part of the page: [catlist categorypage=yes] I made the skirt with the pattern that I pictured on the ‚Planning‘ page from golden brocade and plush rayon velvet which I dyed to a beautiful garnet red color. The actual skirt was sewn pretty fast; just to add the linen lining took a bit […]

Brustfleck

Navigation for this part of the page: [catlist categorypage=yes] I started by decorating the fabric that’s supposed to become the Brustfleck. I am using the same brocade as I used for the skirt, and decorated it with silver and golden embroidery yarn, *real* garnets (no, *not* rhinestones. The real stuff; Rosen cut!) in rim settings, […]

Bodice

Navigation for this part of the page: [catlist categorypage=yes] Constructing the bodice was relatively simple, I basically constructed it by draping and having a mix of the back of an Elizabethan dress with scooped neckline and the front of a Robe à la francaise lining in mind. Sounds weird? I guess it is, but those […]
