Welcome!

This is my blog for TR 410 - Advanced Costume Technology

For this class, I built a period 1700's costume. I started with a designer's rendering and completed every step myself with the help of my instructor, Susan O'Neill.

The final product was worn during Seton Hill University's production of The Way of the World in November 2010.

The costume was designed by Karen Gilmer.

Altering Paper Pattern

As you could see on the mannequin the vest was slightly too small across the back.  I opened the back pieces and widened them.





The front was altered to give it the straight shape and the fold over needed for the garment.  The cut out for the bottom of the front of the vest was also drawn in. It isn't actually cut out yet because the designer will need to determine and draw in it's exact shape during fittings.
