for my next project i we are making a ghost for a street. we got our characters picked for use and i got the Victorian fisher man for the street. then i was doing my research i found a big bagged top with a high ruff collar with suit trousers.
when i came to my costume i got out a big baggy top block and it wasn't quite big enough so i had to alter the shoulder because i wanted a low shoulder on the top with puffed out sleeves. when i started to stitch it together and but it one my model i relised it was to big with the two center meter seam allowance so i decide to make a full new top and with out the seam allowance and that seamed to fit better and the way that i wanted it to fit.then when my model tried it back on i cut the sleeve down to size and then i stitched the pleats in to the top around the neck line.
after i did this i added the ruff to the collar when i did it i measured the neck line of the top all the way round and then but the measurement on to the fabric and went up two center meter in a diagnel. then i crinkled up the light weight calico and then steamed it with the iron to be able to get the crinkled affect on the ruff.
the next step on getting the top the way that i wanted it was to added long cuff's and when i was putting then on i wanted the puff out the bottom of the sleeves out. the one problem i had with the calico because with it not been washed it was quite stiff when trying to work with it.
then it when on to doing the trousers the first set of trousers i did they where again about 2cm to big and about 4cm to big on the bottom.and then when i did my second pair of trousers i did the don't really look right in the photos because the calico wasn't washed and they where quite stiff and didnt look right on the body.
