Lucy's Voyage of the Dawn Treader costume

Hey Everyone!
Okay, I FINALLY finished the vest! I put it off for way toooo looonnnnggg. Quite a while ago I quickly made the vest as soon as I got the fabric, with no thought to detail or sturdiness, so last week I took the whole thing apart and painted the designs on it, added interfacing, and some soft brown lining to the inside. Here's the finished product: (Almost, I am currently working on the red leather belt, dagger sheath, and cordial pouch, I'll post about those when I finish them)

This costume consists of:
  • A white linen shirt
  • A fully lined red vest
  • Teal velvet pants
  • Brown boots







The cuffs and collar are pleated and sewn onto them is a cool trim that I found in our sewing room.






The front of the shirt closes with a small white button fastened with a handmade button loop. (Oops, sorry this one is sideways)


I found these great buttons at Joanns, very Narnian aren't they?

The pattern on the bottom edge of the vest.

I had a whole lot of fun (and, I admit, frustration) making this costume, and I'm pleased with the way it turned out. XD

Until next time,

Soul you be willing to make just the shirt for a fan? If so how much would that cost?

Hello,
I came across your blog, by Google, because I was searching for Lucy P.'s outfit - this one :) You did a spectacular job!
I've been looking at your blog, and all the the projects you've done are amazing. I wish I could sew so well. I have no experience - my Mum has helped (rather, I helped her as much as I could...) make a cloak for myself, which turned out very nicely, but a full outfit, that is amazing!
And the movie you're making - I'm curious, did you write it? That is so very neat. I've never tried writing a movie, though books, poems, articles, and other things, yes :)

This is a strange question, but may I ask, how old you are? :)

Have a wonderful, God-filled day!
In Him,
Raechel

Thank you for your sweet comment. :) Yes, I did write it, with a friend; it was very fun indeed :D Actually, I don't get on this blog anymore, I made a new costume blog: www.fideliascostumes.blogspot.com

I'm not allowed to put my exact age on the internet, but I am a High-schooler. :)

In Christ,
