Cersei’s coronation gown – finished – The fabrics Tywin Lannister’s jacket uses exactly the same lasered dot/teardrop leather as Cersei’s coronation gown. …like father, like daughter. Now – it would be simple but tedious to either cut or punch those dots and holes into artificial or real leather. However, I found a similar PU leather […]

This gown, after Jupiter’s Wedding gown, was yet another gown which I instantly knew I had to reproduce the moment I saw it. The style is a modernized version of a Rococo court gown – worn with a court pannier; but the length is too short for a court gown and, of course, that neckline […]

Note: This gown is mostly finished, but I still need to add some more documentation (i. e. how I made the armbands). Also, if you learned something from […]

Star Wars Episode 2 – Padmé’s Wedding Gown Padmé’s wedding gown from Star Wars Episode 1 is a carefully arranged insanity of antique lace, cording embroidery, pearls, tulle and taffeta. My motivation to make it is not that I am planning to get married. In fact, that will never happen. The only person I would […]

The Queen Elizabeth I. costume worn by Joanna Page in the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary „Day of the Doctor“ instantly caught my attention. I was, like, OMG, FINALLY an Elizabethan costume that I can actually WEAR! Because, you know… there are no „RenFaires“ in Germany; and when I create an Elizabethan costume – an era […]
