I have been absent for some time now. Costume will be a part of my life again I promise.

This week I finally found some trim I think will be appropriate for the Elizabeth I dress so keep eyes open for that. Also I am currently working on 3 bridesmaid dresses which is quite exciting.

All the photos are on the portfolio page (copyright Paul Green) but here are a few of my favourites…

So for this one I sourced the tee and make the sexy skirt

I had to make 5 of these jackets in the end, hessian sure gets in your throat

That super shiny jacket makes everyone looks beautiful and I made 3 of these wrap/shawls to dress the lords

This cute like black cape was one of mine too

and a bit of man love to finish this post

But I did work on something a couple of weeks back, The Madness of King George for the Icarus Theatre Company

I only made the underwear for the Countess of Pembroke (that’s her being manhandled on the left there):

still pretty exciting to know something I’ve made is on tour.

Speaking of which, Angel Exit are touring Moonfleet, which is also pretty cool and if you’re in the area I urge you to check it out

I worked on a show called ‘Arden of Faversham’ which is a 1592 anonymous domestic comedy in which a multitude of people are paid to kill the titular Arden so his wife can be with her lover. The show is playing at the Rose Theatre, which is an excavation site and the play is staged with the site as a backdrop…and it looks amazing!

On to the pics

Actually really proud of this piece. It was such a hassle to get done, but I learnt a hell of a lot and it is really well and neatly made

I think the above image is gorgeous, I couldn’t have asked for a nicer shot. What follows however:

I’ve been told that this was probably altered to look like it was photographed using film. Now firstly, why did he not just use film? Secondly, why is there not the original as well so we can pick which one we want? And thirdly, this is supposed to go in my portfolio, but it is just going to look ridiculous next to the first image, not to mention suggest that I picked totally the wrong colours compared to my design!

Below is might attempts so far at fixing it, although I think it probably needs more work

Back to photoshop I go

So I got a CD today with about 100 images from the shoot, and I’ve narrowed it down to my favourite 7, read on for the other 6!

By far my favourite ^
