Welcome!

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.

Buttonholes

This vest had lots of button holes (15 to be exact). The pockets, thankfully, had fake button holes, created with a tight zig zag stitch. However, all 15 on the front of the vest were real button holes and were my last big challenge to finishing the garment.
Practice button holes. Lots of them.

Button holes! You can also see the fold line here which shows where the revere should fold over.

Button holes set in at 1/4" over the center front line
