Stage 5: Victorian Red Riding Hood

Making ruffles for the front of my jacket and the shoulders.

This is my Victorian inspired red riding hood jacket. Its lined with a synthetic black fur that has a subtle wave to it and the exterior constructed from two brocades; one a fabric black with red roses and the other a red fabric with black cherry blossoms. This was my first attempt at sewing brocade and it has been quite the learning process. Nonetheless, I quite proud of how it has come out and I am looking forward to having the excuse of cold weather, to sport this jacket around town.

I have had my eye of steam punk clothing for a while and figure I should break into the genre with a personal project. This one has been in progress for a while so don't be surprised if it is a bit before the finished piece makes it's debut on the internet. In the meantime feel free to stop by and learn more, visit my shop or follow ADDART Design on FB.
