Lolita dresses are wonderful, yet I still feel it would be better for my organism to wear something longer than the traditional knee-length during the time of freezing wind, rain and occassional snow. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, incredible as it sounds, snow sometimes does happen even in the grey and muddy country of Industrial Revolution. Without further ado, onto the projects!
- While I have my doubts about the quality of Coppola's Dracula, it is true the Eiko Ishioka's costumes are genuinely fascinating. Yes, I'm going to copy her ideas a bit:-)
Stage of the project: Researching
Fabrics to be used: Topaz blue dupion silk, cotton for lining and petticoat, bustle wire, boning, silk threads for the embroidery - Who loves Princess Isabella's dresses in Braveheart, hands up! Yes, I know they aren't very historically accurate for the period and that the real Isabella was only a child when William Wallace fought the English, but no matter that, I find the dresses very inspiring. So I chose to produce a cotte and surcoat in purple/white combination, the elaborateness of them depending on how much time I will have left of the Christmas Holiday after finishing the "Mina Replica"... ideally I would like purple brocade cotte with bead embroidery on the neckline + white cotton sateen surcoat with silk heraldic embroidery. A University student needs to be properly dressed for lessons.
