A black dress on a mannequin, the body is made of pleated lace.
After just over fifty hours squeezed into four long days, this dress is now almost done!
But now I singlehandedly need to make five more... 😭
At moment’s such as these I’m overthinking my life choices…

Pictures of my project 'Meerkoet' that I made last summer. I made a coot mask and I prepared a performance where I'd stand on a stage and invite people to come stand next to me.

Look at these fabulous pics of Milan in my all-leather Death costume for the Elizabeth (Sisi) show. I’m rather chuffed with them! Not bad, for a gifted self- taught amateur! ❤️

A mannequin wearing a large cotton mockup of a jacket with extremely large pointy shoulder pads pinned on top.
So, I just constructed the largest shoulder pad of my entire career.
Look at it!!!

Today on the cutting table. I’m quilting stretch goatskin. It will become the part of a costume for the role of Death… 💀

Pfew! At least the jacket is finished! I like the chaotic lacing/eyelet combo. Got a bit tired with the old fashioned symmetrical approach…

Morning Bluesky!
Today, in my quiet corner of this mad world: Edna’s hairspray dress is finalised for the first fitting. And while I wait for that, I’ll remember to breathe – and will move on to Cyrano de Bergerac.
Hang in there! ❤️

Today in the workshop: I dusted off my Cornely FD for some appliqué work. Hard to film and steer at the same time, but fun to do!

While looking, unsuccessfully, to find Henri de Montaut's centerspread illustrations for "La Vie Parisienne" during the 1880's (can anyone help?), I found this nice presentation of the costumes Sarah Bernhardt wore for "Fedora" in 1894. #fashionhistory #theatercostume #sarahbernhardt #1890sfashion
