Slashed Breeches and Doublet for Vinny of "The Magnificent Humble Boys"

This Renaissance style costume was created for Vinny, half of the hilarity that is "The Magnificent Humble Boys." The paned breeches are brown twill and brown textured heavy cotton. The doublet is made of the same fabric with brilliant blue accents. The accents are either hand embroidered (on the slashing) or created with biased tape. The sleeves are removable via eyelets and leather straps. He has been wearing this combo since its completion for the last Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Erwindale, CA in 2011.
I make lots of custom costumes for Renaissance Fairs, drop me a line if you are interested in one!

Hello Dolly!: Costume Renderings 2010

Hello Dolly!: Costume Renderings 2010. Each of the main four actresses had 3 costumes constructed for them. I drew my inspiration from many many different places, including late 1890s fashion plates and the actresses themselves. I think the right combination of actor portrayal and costume is what really makes the character come alive. This was my first big show that set me down the path to become a costume designer.
PS, because of the production situation with the play, I ended up creating all 12 main dresses by myself in my living room at the time!
