Mark's Costume
|
|
This was my sketch of what I was hoping to create for my husband's costume.
|
|
I had made a costume for my husband several years ago for him to be Eric, the Little Mermaid's prince. It consisted of a white pirate-type shirt, black breeches, a red satin sash and tall boots.
|
|
For last summer, all I got made was the doublet and a hat. The boots, shirt and pants are the ones from the prince/pirate costume.
|
|
Then I continued on with the costume, adding new pieces and modifying the old ones. I altered the pirate shirt to become a Renaissance man's shirt, with a small ruff at the neck and wrists. I made sleeves for the doublet, and I created paned slops.
|
|
Here is a close-up of the upper area of the doublet. You can see the ruff on the collar, and the ties on the sleeves.

|
This is a close-up of the paned slops. These were by far the most time-consuming part! Each pane was made separately, and braid was added to each side. They were lined up against a black background, and a lining was added. Then they were stuffed.

|
My husband's costume makes its debut at the Bristol Renaissance Faire.

Our boys join my husband at the fountain.
