#napoleon costume

My wannabe Napoleonic uniform for the Larp update: the collar is done and fits! At this point it’s stitched on the coat. Time to move to the sleeves. I think I will manage to embroider the sleeve cuffs as well.

I will write a bit more about it eventually, but I’m too dead to do it now.

This is not for reenactment purposes so it’s a quite low cost project.

Asking for historical accuracy from Bridgerton is like asking for a steak and kidney pie at a patisserie. I mean technically that is something they could make but it’s not been advertised as such and you’re being a bit of a bitch for asking.

In 2002’s Napoléon, Isabella Rossellini’s Josephine wore a set of coral jewelry consisting of a necklace and earrings. Twenty years later, the necklace was reused in Diane de Poitiers (The King’s Favorite) on Gaia Girace as Catherine de Médicis.

It's the final week of the The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) - L.A.'s salute to movie costumes of the past year (and according to one docent, this is the last year period that FIDM will be hosting).

What was amongst their wares?

Barbenheimer of course!

I feel like there's a direct correlation between the rise of fast fashion and the decline of period drama costume quality...

Regency Era Court Dress

The dress and train are presented on separate manequins for conservation reasons.

This dress and its train (known in French as a queue de cour) were worn by the wife of the Conseiller d’Etat, Jean Bérenger (1767-1850) (Comte de l’Empire in 1808), during the ceremony of the coronation of Napoleon I. The dress is in ivory silk, delicately embroidered with silver and gold thread. On the shoulders there are small embroideries in ivory tulle. The train is made of scarlet velvet silk with a lining of white satin.

As you know, I’m making myself a historically accurate regency attire.

You wouldn’t be a proper gentleman without a snuffbox. I actually need it, because the event I’m attending takes place a day before my main final exams and I need to put my pills somewhere.

This was my inspiration because why couldn’t I make myself my dear assigned kin ginger marshal merch. Unfortunately I don’t have spare 18000€ to actually buy it.

It’s made of a tin box and polymer clay. The miniature itself is like my third ever attempt at painting with acrylic paint.

WIP under the cut.

After an estimated hiatus of 20 years, this show-stopper of a minium colored pelisse with paisley appliqués, first seen on none other than Isabella Rossellini as Josephine Bonaparte in 2002’s Napolèon entered British shores on Alice Orr-Ewing as Lydia Montrose in the third season of Sanditon.
