In the past two weeks, I haven’t even had a rest at the weekend and feel a little exhausted. Because in addition to completing technical skill course（Victorian Bodice）, I also need to complete the costume for the cooperation project. Since the background setting of the story is in ancient Japan, I decided to make a kimono. Searching relevant information spent a lot of time, and then is pattern-making. Many online references are doll kimono, there are many versions of the data is not particularly accurate. In addition to the need to scale up the data according to the adult data, some of the data that feel unreasonable need to be adjusted. Since the origin of the female ghost in the script is a mirror passed down from the aristocracy, I specially chose the fabric with patterns to distinguish it from the ordinary ghost who simply wears white fabric. Because I am also a perfectionist after I sewed the lining and the outer fabric together with a sewing machine, I sewed all the parts together by hand, mainly to make it look neatly. But it is really a time-consuming process. Then I will add the collar, and then the sleeves will need to be trimmed and adjusted. The kimono is not perfect, but it’s the best I can do now.
