For this project I have made a coat and breeches for an actor in the second year at Bournemouth Arts University College.
Firstly we drafted patterns from Historical Research we collected from the 18th century and from the information given to us on the character from the Designer.
We then constructed a toil from calico ready for our first fitting which also included fabric samples for the designer to choose from and trimmings.
This is my costume finished I decided to make working pockets and for the cuffs to be attached to the sleeves this took at little longer to achieve but gave them an overall more realistic look I found. I also machined the button holes all the way down the front of the jacket and on the back opening. I also made the front flap on the breeches working even though it will not be in use as they will be opened at the back.
The fabric used for both the breeches and the Coat is a black 100% cotton velvet. The trimming buttons and button holes are silver which was the designers choice.
The Grand Inquisitor!
