This is based on the evil doctor, Zagreus, and made for a client. It consists of the coat and vest. Coat is bamboo velvet, lined with taffeta, and the vest is brocade, lined and backed with silk charmeuse.
These vests were made to order for a local wedding. The bride asked that the second button on each vest be the colour of the vest. All the other vest buttons were black. She chose the brocades from the stash of Chinese brocades I have on hand.
Another dress inspired by Cersei from Game of Thrones. Made of a silky cotton blend, in teal blue, it has contrasting sleeve lining and front godet. Same colour but a different pattern. Faux front fastening, embroidered Lannister Lion Rampant on side panels. This was fun to make, and one of my costumes for Tsukino-con 2016, in February in Victoria.
