My final project for my first year was based around Poe's 'Mask Of The Red Death'. We split into several groups - gender, year (ranging from 1450-1650) and colour, and had to create a 'modern' representation of the design to be possibly worn for the final costume show - The Ballroom Of Illusions. I was given male, 1550's, blue. The overall look was supposed to be 'rocker'/general hardened male type, but I wanted to add a bit more sophistication - the design was originally based for the character of Prince Prospero, so this fitted perfectly.
I can pick out a million things that are probably wrong with this doublet, but hey it's my first attempt at making a proper costume piece from scratch!
*ahem* This was also a fine opportunity to commission the amazing Chan to create the narrative shown on the back of my doublet...amazing, no?
