Renaissance Court Dress

Renaissance Court Dress- National Theatre

Model- Ali Reichert.

This is my final uni project, a wine red velvet court dress from the Renaissance period, with an underskirt and a quilted petticoat. It was made for the hire department at the National Theatre in London.

Final Photos

Final photos of my 'Atonement' dress.

'Atonement' Dress

Finished dress. I had photo shoot on Wednesday 9th March. I will upload some photos when I have them.

A test of my making abilities....

I made this sofa cover for my boyfriends mum over the summer last year. It was quite a daunting task, but I was able to unpick the old cover and use it as a pattern for the new one. This was the first time I have ever attempted something like this, and I was very happy with the result (and luckily so was she.)

1930's Evening Gown

This dress is the first part of my Extended Major Project (the second part is a Renaissance gown for the National Theatre.) It is based on the green dress that Keira Knightley wears in the film 'Atonement.'

Beauty and the Beast

This was the first making project of my final year- an 18th century ball gown for the uni production of 'Beauty and the Beast'.

Birthday Corsets

Another birthday corset. This one was made recently for my friend Sal's 21st.

Corsets...

Last corset from this project. This one was inspired by the colours of storm clouds.

Same corset project, different period. This one is an 18th century corset (also known as 'stays')

Corsets

This was the first project where we could choose what we wanted to make, and started to work more independently.

I have always wanted to learn how to make corsets and this project gave me that opportunity. I was also able to make the one below for the Arts Education School in Chiswick, London.

Concepts in Context

Alice In Wonderland- The White Rabbit.

First major making project of Year 2. A recent graduate designed all the costume for this project. The brief was that a disease had taken over Wonderland, turning everyone mad. Recycling was a big theme of the project and all the costumes were made primarily from calico that was manipulated to suit the character. The White Rabbit was one of the only characters to not have a calico base, with the jacket being made from picnic blankets.

Renaissance to Restoration: Realisation

This was the first making project in year 1, a Renaissance inspired costume, with modern influences.
