totchipandaVictorian petticoat (also TV; broadcloth that had been used as a curtain) Adjustable with a drawstring waist, don't remember the size. Flat front, tucks and ruffles galore! (34" waist fully open, 37" CF length, back longer for bustle)
Victorian petticoat #2 (linen blend) 32" fixed waist, no closures Flat front, tucks and ruffles galore! Visible stitching done in a purple-blue colour, meant for non-bustle wear. Rather heavy, actually. The blend makes it kind of crunchy to touch. 39" CF length, 40" CB length.
Victorian Walking outfit (TV patterns, green twill, printed cotton, pink mystery fabric with stretch) Worn once. French bodice, wash overskirt (32.5" waist, CF 36") and walking length skirt (32" waist, 38" CF length, back longer for bustle). Jacket sized to upper back width: 14.75", CB Length 16.5", waist 32", bust 38" (closed).
Victorian Walking outfit #2 (TV patterns, bronze faux-dupioni, mushroom silk (untested), brown cotton velvet) Worn once. Waterfall overskirt, vest bodice, walking length skirt (40") with loosely stitched hem that was never trimmed, so it could be made a little longer. This is the "early" bustle period patterns, but there is also a "later" period skirt with a narrower hem.
Jacket sized to upper back 13.75", Front length 11", bicep 14" (tight), CB to waist 15.5"
Overskirt waist: 32.5"
Full skirt waist 33" open (no overlap), 39" CF Length
Narrow skirt waist 30.5" open (no overlap), 40.25" CF Length, back longer for bustle
Victorian Jacket set (Navy linen, cotton sateen) Plain skirt (42" CF) and jacket with long tails. Worn a couple times. Skirt comes with a hemmed piece for a ruffle. This outfit had a silver overskirt which I tossed for being horridly poly, and it is EXTREMELY plain. I was sewing on buttons in the car on the way to the event I wore it for. In other words, it's a great base for some decorations.
Victorian evening gown (embossed poly) Parisian trained skirt, ballgown bodice. Bodice was not boned though it should have been, and is lined with the same fabric with the embossed side on the inside. Worn once. Skirt waist 31.5-32", 39" CF length.
Game of Thrones King's Landing dress (poly) Made from McCall's pattern with a triangular gore at CB. Shoulder length shortened, closes with snaps and ties.
Fuu (Magic Knight Rayearth) cosplay (poly, worbla) Complete outfit, worn once. Wig, hair band, cape, chest piece, dress, belt, skirt, armlets, leglets, booties.
1840s Gown (cotton) Made from a Butterick pattern, dress closes at center back with hook & eye (poorly, I might add). I think it was a size 12 with the straps shortened to size 6 height. Lined with cotton and lightly boned. Bust 38", waist 32", CF skirt from waist 42" (higher than modern level), bicep 13.5" (flat)
2 HP Ravenclaw ties One from Universal, one from Wizard Ties circa 2004. Universal's is navy, WT is brighter.
1770s Riding Habit (wool blend, linen) Habit shirt (self-drafted), weskit and habit, made from JP Ryan. Was made from her size 12 pattern, front modified to have a fuller front. Jacket has cute owl metal buttons, weskit has similar size and colour plastic buttons. Jacket skirt is pocketed but they face towards the back. Petticoat is mounted on a band and held with ribbon waist ties.
Black Regency gown (poly cotton) Laughing Moon pattern, currently VERY unfinished but wearable. Long sleeves and plain front, intended to be pinned closed, waist ties to hold skirt up. It needs so much finishing work, hems and the like. Fabric is textured with stripes and holds onto pet hair VERY well.
Orange wrap front Regency evening gown (embossed poly) Made with S&S pattern. Lined with cotton, no closures. Underbust 34", skirt length from underbust 46", arm opening/bicep 14"
Blue velvet Regency Spencer (poly) Made with S&S, lined with poly silk, buttons closed. Underbust 34", bust 38", Sleeve length at underarm 25.5", bicep 19"
Regency partlet (linen) Made from... I think La Mode Bagatelle. Closes at neck with pins, the ruffle is attached so that the seam is on the outside, hidden by the ruffle. Neck opening 17.75", front length 9.5"
Elizabethan-era gown (incomplete) (poly, cotton, incomplete) Oof this one has been on my table since 2008. Made from mostly Margo Anderson, it is a small roll (roughly 28" inner circumference), poly taffeta petticoat (26" waist, could be adjusted if the ribbon is removed), forepart petticoat (Simplicity pattern; cotton back, cotton brocade forepart backed with a poly padding from mascot making), overskirt gathered up with drapery tape and mounted to a band with belting inside (which is impossible to sew through). NOT HEMMED as I wanted to have all of the under layers in place first. There is plumbing-tubing farthingale made to go with this, and extra fabric (1 and a bit full yard, 2 lengths of same half width) for the bodice which was never started.
Elizabethan partlet (linen) I THINK it's Elizabethan, anyway. Rolled pleated collar, closes under arms with a ribbon tie. Neck has hook and eye.
Caul (linen) Machine sewn, simple circle gathered to a band. Good for many eras to cover one's hair. 22" band (fixed), approx. 7" from band edge to midpoint of crown. Caul is larger than the band but not by much.
Men's 18th century-inspired breeches (poly-cotton) Made from a simplicity pattern, classic "diaper butt", buttoned knees and waist closed with Velcro. It was for a costume party ok (lol) 33" waist
Juri (Revolutionary Girl Utena) art cosplay (poly) 18th century-inspired pieces from an official art piece. Jacket from Simplicity pattern, bound with gold satin, pants made with modern pattern and intended to have buttoned knees. Pink shirt also from simplicity pattern (broadcloth), no closures.
Corset-back Coat (wool-blend, poly) Made from a Vogue pattern with an extra back piece for a corset look, full skirt, double-breasted closure (snaps) and lined with a quilted lining. I FINALLY sewed up the gap left for turning after SIXTEEN YEARS. Pattern size 10. It was intended to have buttoned closures and for some inexplicable reason I did not put pockets in it.
OK that's all I can think of right now, I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten.
