2014 - the year in review!

So 2014 for me was mostly about coordinates....Making things to go with things I already have.  Which is pretty much my plan for 2015.  Reviewing the costumes I already have and either making new coordinates, or fixing what I already have.

First, I'll go through my Popculture stuff.. :)

One of the first costumes I made this year was Tauriel, from the Hobbit movies (for a Tolkien themed birthday).  I still haven't seen the movie!  I also brought it out for Friday night at Supanova Gold Coast...  Also at Supanova Gold Coast, I debuted Gruzinkerbell, aka, Gru dressed as a fairy princess from Despicable Me.



I squeezed in a new Steampunk frock for the Steampunk ball..



Then, at Supanova in Brisbane (November), I did a Pinup version of Jane, and remade my Cinderella, finally getting it just the way I wanted!



With that, we're onto the historical - in chronological order.. ;)

I made a new Cioppa (Italian Renassaince Coat) for a trip to Sydney..



I went to JAFA, so this necessitated a couple of extra things.  First up was the Archery ensemble (just a jacket and hat needed) that I wore with my partner in crime...



And I made myself a new vest to wear over my existing cream dress...



For the Victorian era, I made the day bodice for my black 1870s...

 

An 1880s tartan number inspired by the uniform of the Queensland Scottish Volunteer Corps
 
A pink silk afternoon gown


A bunch of lovely turn of the century pieces, including a full outfit, an extra skirt and jacket..  

And then there's the vintage, which is mostly day wear for me!


And that's it!  This year's goal?  Mostly to not make too many new things for Costuming, other than a Victorian bathing suit and possibly a Victorian hunting outfit. 

There will probably be more Vintage, but I wear that on a daily basis anyway.. :)
