Well, well, well, it really takes a long time for me to upload new pictures. I finished the Khaleesi cosplay (inspired by Game of Thrones) last year in October and I got back the pictures January this year. And it took only until December of the same year until you can see them on my [...]
The sixth and last dress from the editorial series "The Muse" is finished. Originally I planned to play with different shades of grey in the dress and corset. Unfortunately the grey fabrics didn't look good together. So I rummaged a bit in my clothing collection and found my white Steampunk corset. It's made from snow-white [...]
Slowly but surely I am finishing the work for our editorial. The fifth dress is ready. This time it is less of a dress and more corset and jewelry though. I made a skirt with long train from apple green chiffon. Then I added green corset with many ruches (the design is inspired by Maya [...]
I'm still working on an editorial with photographer Mario Bertolini, makeup artist Tamara Ciullo and model Angela Asiana. We're photographing in old industrial areas (we've already been in an art deco and in a concrete factory). My dresses have flowing cuts and draped fabric. On top of the dresses you wear corsets to give them a clear silhouette. The two dresses [...]
Last December I did a photo shooting inspired by Lord of the Rings with a wonderful team. So we had our version of Galadriel ready for the release of the third Hobbit movie. But I always need some more time to publish pictures. So now slightly delayed here you have our Galadriel. We used my [...]
These pictures were made in May 2015 by the wonderful Irina Bodor. She wanted to do a photoshooting with a horse and with that I was convinced of the project. Apart from her making very beautiful pictures. The clothes are the same as for the Yennefer cosplay. A medieval blouse and skirt made from linen. [...]
Together with my neighbour the photographer (http://www.bertoliniphoto.at/), one of the make-up artists from Switzerland (http://getalook.ch/) and a wonderful model (http://www.angelaasiana.com/) we planned an editorial. I just invented the name "The Muse" since all of the dresses more or less have a Greek or Roman style. Everything had to go very fast, so I just bought [...]
Right now I'm being scheduled as a private seamstress for our sword figthing club more and more. ;) As a start I was commissioned with simple medieval coifs. Since they will be used in training historical correctness wasn't that important for now. My coifs are a padded version for wearing under a fencing mask. I [...]
This series of pictures originated at the beginning of 2014 in a botanical garden in Poland. Joanna is the model again. Her and the photographer Katarzyna Jaworska wanted to work together for a while back then. But Katarzyna is specialized on wedding photography and she wanted to stay in that subject area (later she photographed [...]
Makeup artist and photographer Nadia borrowed my Russian inspired green baroque gown for a fashion shooting in spring. This time I combined the dress with the matching kokoshnik (a traditional Russian headdress). The pictures were made in a beautiful Japanese garden. Nadia and her Model Katja were quite the tourist attraction. Photography, Retouch & MUA: Beautycare Nadia [...]
I'm still in the process of moving (our furniture is only arriving piece by piece...), but I think it's time to show a new project anyway. :) Joanna is a model specialized on cosplay and she wanted to have a dress for Tauriel from the Hobbit trilogy. I on the other hand wanted to add [...]
The date for moving to a new apartment is getting closer. I already packed the first boxes. But that doesn't stop me from continuing to sew. Ok, well maybe a little... But Leah's dress for the Loki and Leah cospay is ready. I don't really like to copy cosplays exactly. It is a bit unsatisfactory [...]
Today and yesterday I have been on a sword fighting seminar (which was really great), this is why it took some time, but now Artemisia's armour is finished. Last time I wrote about the breast armour and sword belt (made from fake leather) and about the golden spikes (made from mould powder and resin). Meanwhile [...]
Right now everyone seems to think that it would be great to order something from me RIGHT NOW. You know, shortly before I am moving to a new apartment. ;) But not that I'm complaining. I just need a lot longer for the unpaid projects. For example the Loki & Leah and the Artemisia costumes. [...]
Onward with Artemisia's armour. Mostly it consists of spikes and claws. But we all know that a proper villain can't have to many spikes for decoration. I looked for materials in our handicraft store. Actually Fimo (a kind of thermoplastic clay) would have been the best choice since it's rather flexible when dried. But no one [...]
This fashion shooting already took place in march 2014. I can never keep up with putting the pictures online. Here I tried a high-necked corset. The lacing in the back reaches all the way up to the neck. The blouse is a lined version of my basic pattern. And the pants are made from two [...]
For my mint green, knee-lenghth silk dress with very beautiful draping and plissé I decided that an underskirt would work really well with that dress. And a jacket would be useful as well since the dress only got narrow straps.
And another very fine project with Silver Wolfie. Actually Silver Wolfie is specialized on cosplay as a model and for thus we were looking for characters together, whose clothes would also fit my portfolio. On Yennefer of Vengerberg from the excellent The Witcher books and computer games we agreed almost immediately.
After some time there are some news again. I haven't been idle in the last days. Website and shop have been brought up to date in the background and now everything is ready so I can add new products and content. First the results of an older project. The fashion shooting with the following team: [...]
Right now I'm in the process of moving the website to a new and above all faster server. So only a short update (and until tomorrow another URL, so don't be surprised). The Khaleesi/Daenerys Targaryen cosplay inspired by Game of Thrones is already with my model for a photo shooting. But shortly before I sent [...]
This time just a short update. I already posted the individual pieces of the cosplay for Daenerys Targaryen / Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. Now all of it together. Like this I sent it to Silver Wolfie / Joanna last week. There will be beautiful pictures soon. :)
I'm still working on the cosplay for Daenery Targaryen resp. Khaleesi. Since she is riding into war quite often, I think she should have some armour. At least my version or armour. I try to avoid real leather whenever possible. Here I found some nice fake suede in two shades of brown. I reinforced it [...]
Since I finished the elven wedding gown, I was able to start with a new project. This time not only the embroidery is inspired by Game of Thrones, but I am sewing an appropriate cosplay outfit. The dress is one of the classical designs Daenerys Targaryen is wearing frequently in different versions. The dress is [...]
It took some time (way too long...), but the embroidery inspired by Game of Thrones is finished. And I already attached it to the elven wedding gown. I also used shades of gold for the embroidery. The green thread is slightly yellow for example and the main motives are made from gold thread completely. [...]
I already wrote that I've some more projects planned with Silver Wolfie aka Joanna (here is her Facebook page). And this time we chose an elven wedding as theme. Since only creating a new pattern with bell sleeves and a free back for the gown is waaaay too easy, I decided to try something new [...]
