Maria (Fall 2014)

Another "Compleat Female Staged Beauty" costume, Maria was super fun to make. Whereas the bodice is not period, the jacket is! It is based off a period (mid 1600's) jacket pattern. The model is Tiffany Lee.

Front. The combinations and petticoat underneath were built by someone else.

Back. You can see a tiny peak of her stays straps here: those were tucked in later.

Action Shot! Tiffany described Maria as shy and demure.

Front and action shot! This jacket was so cool to build!

Back. It was accidentally semi pattern matched in the back.
