The History of Costuming All About Masquerades The International Costumers' Guild (ICG) Community Forums ... Recent Updates Welcome! Costuming.org was started in hopes of giving serious costumers an online community. With cosplay having huge dedicated website communities, and an emphasis on showing off photos and instant gratification, we felt a need for a community more closely focused on our favourite part of the hobby - the making of costumes. We also wanted to try to connect younger costumers who communicate primarily via the web to the established costuming communities such as the ICG. Our wish is to make this a community about the actual *costuming* aspect of costumes for ALL genres. This is a place to discuss all types of costuming, share pretty costumes, discuss their problems and progress, inspiration, costume photos, useful links, and talk about actual construction and technical/visual aspects of costuming. Are you interested in costuming for the sake of costuming? if yes, then you're probably in the right place. :) Join us on our discussion forums - if you're stumped on how to build something, have a problem with your sewing machine, are trying to find a specific kind of fabric, chances are we'll be able to help you.

Hand-embroidered Elizabethan Jacket Welcome to the home of Extreme Costuming ! My name is Laura, and I'm a member of Gardiner's Company, Trayn'd Bandes of London (Elizabethan), a volunteer costumed interpreter and occasional researcher for the Jamestown Settlement and Museum (Early Colonial America), and a Laurel and a Pelican in the SCA (which has gotten me absolutely no free cups of coffee, darn the luck). I've been a member of Gardiner's for 12 years, involved with Jamestown for 15 years or so, and a member of the SCA (under the name Isobel Bedingfield, née Gildingwater) for 18 years. I've been sewing and making costumes since I was very young, but for the past thirteen years I've really narrowed down my focus to England during the years 1580-1610. It's a great period for detail and decoration, and they teach the Tudor/Elizabethan period of history multiple times in English schools, so I'm more familiar with it than other periods. I come from England, and I grew up in London, so that country and city seem like a logical place to research.

9. DawnPages -- Historic Costumes historical costuming, sewing tips, reenacting, living history, renaissance festival, costume, patterns. http://www.reddawn.net/costume/index.html

cos·tume n. A style of dress, including garments, accessories, and hairstyle, especially as characteristic of a particular country, period, or people. So. Here you are. You're looking for a historic costume you can make for the Renaissance Fair, or your friend's SCA wedding. You don't do a lot of sewing, or maybe you do, but not like this. You're a student with no cash or a mom who just found out your kid needs a costume for history class next Monday. All the costume books in the library are checked out, or were written before you were born. Hopefully this site will meet your needs. With this site I aim to provide simple patterns and instructions you can follow in order to create a first outfit for the RenFaire, or an SCA event, or a decent Robin Hood costume for the school play. I am not trying to be the final authority on historic clothing (though I do prefer a historical basis for my patterns) or get you involved in a lot of expensive costuming details. The object here is to get you into costume quickly and inexpensively, while providing you with good foundation garments for later expansion if you want a fancier wardrobe. You will get an occasional history lesson as I describe a garment, and some of the patterns do take time to complete. However, most of them you can finish over a weekend, or less. Where do I come off telling you this stuff anyway?

15. Costuming From The Hip costuming from the Hip is a comprehensive reference for anyone who works with Middle Eastern dance costumes. Dancers will like the costume design ideas, http://www.ibexa.com/hip/

by Dawn Devine Brown and Barry Brown Costuming from the Hip is a comprehensive reference for anyone who works with Middle Eastern dance costumes. Dancers will like the costume design ideas, information on accessories, and plentiful hints for achieving the best fit from their costumes, whether they came from an existing collection, were purchased off the rack, or were custom-made by a designer. Costume makers will enjoy the dozens of included garment patterns, construction and fitting techniques, and instructions for flattering different body types. And historical re-enactors will like the extensive bibliography, costuming facts, and patterns for historical costumes with instructions for developing them to fit their own body. With over two hundred original illustrations, this 120-page book will step you though researching Middle Eastern designs for costumes, creating the pattern, constructing the garment, and accessorizing. Along with its bibliography for further study, the book contains a list of vendors that specialize in Middle Eastern dancewear. There is also a section on men's costumes which answers many of the questions raised by costume makers frustrated with the lack of information on this subject. The first edition of Costuming from the Hip sold out nationwide within weeks of its introduction and is no longer available. The new, revised edition is 50% longer and contains dozens of new illustrations and patterns.

Both the contemporary nature of fashion as well as the historical aspect of costume are extremely well served by the visual and hypertext medium of the Internet. The fashion industry and fashion devotees have created sites that provide access to runway shows, designers, models, trade information, and current events. Costume historians have designed sites that can be used to research costumes, locate visuals, and document the creation of accurate historical garments. The culture of fashion, costume, and the Internet has successfully converged to offer unique, innovative, and informative Web sites. Individuals first used the Internet as a vehicle for disseminating opinions and images on fashion and costume and created personal homepages on topics such as punk style, makeup, and designers.

July 24, 2007 Harry Potter Madness I decided that it would be an absolute crime to miss dressing up for the very last Harry Potter book, so I whipped up a quick Professor Trelawney costume last week to wear to a midnight release party. You can see pictures and read more about it here . This outfit was so much fun to make, and I really enjoyed taking a break from the serious historical stuff for a change. I have a feeling that you'll be seeing more fantasy and movie costumes from me in the future. May 30, 2007 New Victorian fashion plates A friend of mine from the DFW costume guild let me borrow one of her Demorest's pattern catalogues from 1880 to web. It has some really cool garments in it, and best of all, there is a front and back view for everything. That is so helpful! I hope some of you find it to be useful.
