Lady of The Realm Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 This thread is PERFECT for me. I'm not actually pirating for c8, buuuut...I need to talk to someone about costume-making anyway. Someone help me...most advanced I've been with a sewing machine is a tunic for house drama What do you need help with costume-wise? Ask away I'm sure someone on this thread can help you :) Righty, well I've got to make an Elizabeth Swann costume over the summer. Admittedly, it's not exactly a PIRATE costume, but it's close enough. I have absolutely NO idea where to start...it's all so frilly and complex. I've seen a dress on eBay which I'm thinking of using as the top layer of the dress, because it's the right colour and saves a lot of work. I just need to make the under-y bit for it. It's the Captain barbossa dress thing. The purple one? Try this link, it may help... click here Also my friend Elinor is a dressmaker, and could make it for you, but she would need to measure you up for it.

Vegetable Maiden Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Oooh, how much would that be? Thing is, it's only for the one night, so I don't want anything too fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Captain barbossa dress thing. Well I've made the dress (wore it to C5) and all I can say is be prepared for long hours sewing annoying details! Like the black half-corset thing she has showing and the gold edging (which never shows up on photos either!) If you need any help with a specific bit please feel free to ask me how I did mine and if I can remember I'll tell you! On more specific advice- Net curtains are *excellent* to use for the sleeves Edited June 18, 2005 by rel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cher2a Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I haven't started mine, yet... But hopefully I'll have an income shortly, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to be a Messy Pirate! Hehe. In other words, the type that wear rags and bag's and layering that looks cool! What you reckon? Would I make a good Messy Pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rel Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I've kinda started mine (which I have decided is definately going to be a space-pirate-catgirl thing) Got my sword (well okay more than one....I'm a prop-a-holic!) and an appropriate wig and waist cincher. Trying to decided whether to be a more conservative pirate catgirl and go for a knee-length skirt or for s short one. Got to buy fur to make my ears and tail out of now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
