Impressed by the Details
When I found this concept outfit by Angpo, I was so incredibly inspired and impressed! I was looking for a new renaissance faire outfit but hadn't quite figured out what I wanted. All I knew was that I wanted to switch it up from my other outfits.
This was my first time asking an artist's permission to make an outfit that had created, so I wanted to make sure I got every detail. That meant that a lot of thought went into each decision, lots of parts of the outfit took more picky shopping and there were a lot of do-overs.
Fun Facts :
-
I had to tea-dye the cotton fabric to get that perfect weathered look. I was so excited to dye it that I completely messed up the first pair of pants and had to go on a wild run around the city to find the same fabric again!
-
This was my first time using face paint.
-
The neck corset was way easier to make then I thought it would be!
-
The gold circle jewelry on the fur shawl are actually earrings from a thrift store. I removed the hook and dangles and sewed an orange jewel in the middle.
-
I made an entire skirt that matched the exact shape as the one in the picture and it turned out SO awful that I decided the skirt would be the one change I made.
