To find out, I’m reaching out to Laura de Vries, who showcases beautiful photos of herself in exquisite medieval garments and stylish fantasy costumes on her Instagram. I ask her about the importance of wearing a costume.
The dress on this picture is a combination of a bolero and a skirt which is 16 meters (17,49 yards!) wide! Why would you need a dress like that... Well it is party time, or time for an exclusive photoshoot.
But of course you can also make this skirt simpler, slightly less wide, so that it is nice to wear during a party, festival or event. We are enjoying the Netflix-series Bridgerton with all those beautiful Victorian clothes and corsets, you too? The Victorian era continues to intrigue us. Such a luxurious and unique clothes! Hoop skirts, gigantic hats, dresses in as many as three layers and corsets on top and underneath. Beautiful to see, but a mystery how women could wear these clothes all day...
Corsets are very popular. This is because there is a large group of people who like going to the Fantasy Fairs, or who like the subcultures like Steampunk and Gothic. And of course also the Medieval variant such as L.A.R.P., or Comic hero-based Cosplay. During these events, corsets often play a major role. As a seamstress it is a lot of fun to make a corset. How do you sew a Victorian corset? We will show it in detail. We used the sewing pattern McCalls M4681 to make this corset belt in Burlesque-style. The blog on the Dutch page: you will find a lot of pictures. We made a step-by-step instructions gallery about the making off the corset belt.
