Halloween outfit planning

[madamemodiste]

I think I've decided what I'm doing for Halloween! I'd like to finally make an outfit inspired by the Dangerous Liaisons yellow traveling gown. I am seeing a red jacket with black trim over a black skirt.

Yay!!

I've ordered the Ladies riding habit from Tailor's Guide, upon the sage advice of bauhausfrau

Oh mah gawd. I LOVE that movie and every gown in it... and all of the men's clothes, for that matter. Well... at least John Malkovich's clothes anyway. If you do make one, you HAVE to make a dress diary so that I can live vicariously. I don't have a single reason to make an 18th c gown. That is... unless David and I decide to join Gustav Skal. ;-)

Just to clarify, are you talking about the gown she is wearing when she gets out of the coach and at first you can only see the top of her hat? That is a spectacular gown.

I've seen bauhausfraus costume made from this. It's beautiful, and very inspiring. I never liked the shorter bodice(?) but loved it after seeing her's.

Ooo, I'm so excited, you know how much I love that outfit. And I adore your color combination! Maybe we can wear them together at costume con next year!

J/K but its funny how you make all these things from films that I love too. Two great minds with great taste?

You inspired me to watch the movie tonight. :) It is one of my favorites, but is has been years since I watched it. Amusingly, I still knew most of the dialog by heart.

That is going to be a glorious combination.

Oh, funfun!
I'll be making a riding/travelling jacket this fall too, for 'real life' ;)
I'm sure you'll be done way before me, but I'm happy to have some company!
