![Walking Ensemble ca.1890
Its been a while since ive done one of these, but I wanted to highlight the details in this costume and show you how it turned out! This costume was made entirely by me. More information about it, and the process of making it are linked below!
...
If the step by step process interests you, check out the write ups on my blog: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/plaid-walking-ensemble-ca-1890/
Photos of this ensemble are posted here: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/1890s-plaid-walking-ensemble-photos/
...
This project is based off references of day dresses and walking ensembles from the 1890s, but design itself is is mostly made up!
This costume consists of four main pieces : The skirt, jacket, blouse, and hat. It’s worn over a home made corset, chemise, and two petticoats. The costume itself is made from six yards of faux wool flannel, cotton lining, three yards of silk, and some buttons/lace/wool/silk satin that I had left over from old projects.
The hat is made from a mixture of buckram and felt weight interfacing. It’s lined with velvet and decorated with a matching ribbon and bow. It also has a partial pheasant pelt on it, which was a common decoration in the 1890s.
Everything was drafted, draped, and designed by me except for the jacket sleeves, which were from a pattern book. Assembling the pieces was a very long process. Each one was carefully cut out and hand basted together to make sure each line matched perfectly. Then the seams were trimmed and basted by hand once again to create french seams. Everything is made from the faux wool except for the side panels of the skirt which are pleated silk piped with green wool, and the jacket lapels, which are also silk.
The jacket is trimmed with vintage lace and sixteen yards of soutache braid which was hand stitched into knot like patterns - another very time consuming process!

The music was acquired through Musopen, it does not belong to me. The piece is titled To a wild rose, from 10 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51 composed by Edward MacDowell and performed by Edward Rosser.

![How to Make a Winter Cape!
Today I go through the process of making a cape, which is perfect for autumn and mild winter weather!
This was supposed to be a tutorial but ended up being more of a “Making of” video instead but it does includes pattern pattern drafting instructions, so hopefully it will be helpful!
Things mentioned:
The circle skirt tutorial video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shYY-TsESFg&index=2&list=PLk1yJujskxaCkKiH2o8OZCSC_m_N5x7Sy
The peter pan collar video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Ap1vIp0k0
Things used:
The wool I used is from a shop in NYC - though I don’t recall the name, since I bought it years ago! The lining fabric is from Jo-anns, the buttons from GriffithGardens on etsy, and the collar was given to me by my Grandma.
Things I would do differently:
I would have lined it with a less vibrant lining - it’s more visible than I had expected when the project is worn. I would also recommend a warmer lining, like fleece or minky. And I would sew pockets into the lining before attaching it, that way my hands could stay warm while wearing it (or at least give me a place to tuck gloves away).
I also should have let the cape sit overnight before pinning in the lining. There is a bit of “pooling” on the fabric near the hem, since the top fabric warped and the lining is now too short.
Please ask if you have any questions! I’ve been sort of off this last week or two but I’m going to try and get better at responding ;;

This weeks primary project is an 1860s ball gown. But I was also in the beginning stages of a few projects including a corset, a petticoat, an 1890’s sporting costume, and a few other things!
Sorry this was bit jumpy between clips - I had tons of footage and the context was edited out at a few points. And since im sure some of you are sick of these long videos, I promise my next two will be shorter!

Just a quick (okay, it was quick for ME) video about putting some rough ideas for October down on paper.
I feel the need to state that I can in fact draw faces and other poses, this was more about getting rough shapes down and talking through current ideas.
Also - Im trying (with medium levels of success) to work on periods and styles Im less familiar with. Which means Ive been using more references than usual to try and get them right.

![Following a 1908 Skirt Pattern - Sewing through the Decades
Trying to make sense of this pattern was a lot of fun (though slightly frustrating at times) I hope you enjoy seeing the process of making it, and the finished product!

NOTE: I apologize for the mass quantities of lint on this skirt. I brought a lint roller with me to the shoot! And I used it! But this skirt pulls anything mildly fluffy from thin air and actually pulls lint OFF the lint roller. It was so frustrating.
It also *is* a walking length, we were on uneven ground but I can walk easily in it without it dragging :)

I purchased the wings from : https://www.etsy.com/people/Kaidin
Their statement about the beetles (in case the ethics of working with them concerns you):
“ all wings are obtained after beetles has already died naturally of their own. which happens briefly after breeding (males) and laying out eggs (females). thats their normal common life cycle: beetles do not live long in adult form after fulfilling their procreational duties. :)
so, the evidence of this simple fact is that next year there are more new beetles. if though they were collected before they die naturally, then next year there wont be any more beetles at all! :)
so, all Thai insect collectors know this. and if thats not enough, then additionally HM The Queen of Thailand has given strict injunctions about it: to collect them only after breeding.”
