New Outfit I Started Making In December! Im Super Happy With How Each Piece Came Out Since Ive Gotten

New outfit I started making in December! I’m super happy with how each piece came out since I’ve gotten a lot faster at hand sewing, thus significantly more of my garments are done by hand. I would like to do more in depth posts on each garment soon, but for now I’ll add the general info.

The shirt was a nice cotton that was gifted to me. The buttonholes a stud eyelets were done by hand as well as many other elements.

The vest is a linen and cotton blend I got from Fabric mart. The print is called Strawberry Thief. The buttonholes were done by hand, as well as the topstitching along the edge.

The stud set is from the 1930s.

The pantaloons are probably the piece I’m most proud of that I’ve made so far. They’re a wool that my mom had in her stash. The knots were done by hand through a process of ironing, basting, and sewing on. I used Burnley & Trowbridge’s wool braid/tape. I was extremely proud of how they came out and the wool tape pressed beautifully.

The cape is wool with a cotton velveteen lining. I used one of my old graduation cords as the roping. The tassels hang down the front but you can’t see it in the pictures.

Plus new cravat! Also From Burnley and Trowbridge. I starched my cravat, my shirt front, my vest, and my corset.
