My 1830's Gentleman Jack Tib Norcliffe cosplay is coming together! This costume is based on a gown in season 2 of Gentleman Jack on HBO. This sewing vlog takes you through my thought processes as I draped and altered the bodice pattern from Black Snail Patterns. Many thanks to Black Snail Patterns for sponsoring this video! I also talk a little about the real life women in the series. Thank you for joining me here on CosTube for my plus size costuming and sewing adventures! #gentlemanjack
