My friend was having to do an orchestral concert and they had to wear formal attire. She had nothing and is not a girly girl, and she is thinking of getting into corsets. I needed to brush up on my patternmaking skills. This is the result, a steampunk coat inspired by a pattern for an Evangeline Ghastly doll with a victorian corset-based middle.

 

 

She loved a lot of your designs but we thought the steampunk feathers went best, and she likes dragons so that's why there's one on the front bodice (I don't have a good shot of the front of the coat). I hope that the colours turned out ok because they were nothing like on the phone and I had to colour correct them (i.e. the purple of the taffeta was more plum, but was a deep mauve on the pic at first!).

 

 

My friend really loves it and it was a hit with the rest of the orchestra.
