It’s time for another cosplay progress report for the Barís costume from Sansukh! I have now completed the bum roll and the bodice for the undergown. You will note that the bum roll I made is about half the size of an actual period-accurate one, but since the silhouette of the gowns worn by the dwarrowdams of Erebor was not as full at the hips as a true renaissance gown, I figured that’s fitting. The straps for the undergown bodice are also JUST a touch long, but if I shorten them then I lose all freedom of movement, so I figure I’ll just go with the length they are, and remember than length difference when i pattern the overgown.

Next step is to drape the muslin for the lining of the undergown skirt, to check the pattern I’ve created. If that works, then I’ll sew and attach both layers of the skirt for the undergown. I don’t have enough jacquard to be able to afford an error on the skirt, though, so it’s crucial to work everything out in muslin first.

AHHH BARIS BARIS YOU MULTISKILLED POWERHOUSE DIAMOND YOU

loook at that awesomeness, GOD so much work!!!

the-dragongirl:

After many months of working on this off and on, I finally have progress to report on my Barís cosplay from Sansukh: the corset is complete! Shown here with the chemise I posted awhile ago, this corset is 100% hand sewn, and made from cotton duck, 3/4″ flat steel boning, and satin ribbon. The pattern I used is an authentic English renaissance design.

You will note that, unlike a Baroque or Victorian corset, this corset is not meant to give the body curves or make the waist look tiny. Rather, it gives the body smooth lines, and emphasizes the cleavage. This is consistent with the general dress shapes we see in the brief flashes of dwarrowdams in Erebor in the films. Also, as an added bonus, it can be used under any renaissance gown I care to sew.

Next step will be to make the bumroll and petticoat, and then I can get started on the kirtle that serves as the undergown.

HOLY W O W
