I know a wonderful costumer who makes costumes for dolls according to famous movies like Star wars, LOTR, ... and also Pirates OtC! On her webpage there is a beautiful gallery of her dresses and for each of them a detailed diary with the patterns she used. Here is the gallery-page:

Yes, I had to stop watching and only listen to that episode. It was rather rough on a costumer's sensibilities. I have been involved in a documentary piece In the Village by Nexus Productions where I was listed (and paid) as the head of wardrobe, but in actual fact I only had control over the

Yes, the costumes were laughable, but the History Channel is on a budget, especially costume-wise. I caught a making-of...some Am Revolution series I think, and they do these shows or series on really small budgets and timeframes. When they are doing American Revolution or American Civil War they

My 10 year old daughter caught on of the actors wearing wire rimmed glasses. I couldn't finish the show because of being so bad. Even on a budget, they could have done far better. At least they could have chosen one time period to portray. Ouch! Althea On Jul 26, 2006, at 7:18 AM, [EMAIL

I thought the pattern was a rendition of the wedding dress and realized that it is the golden dress from PoC1 that they are trying to mimic. pattern 4092 http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?cat=4type=19sec=45startrow=1 Golden gown http://www.willofasparrow.com/files/escstm.html# by the way

Ok, so this is only quasi-semi-vaguely-barely historical. In the first pirates movie which I haven't seen for a couple of years, the heroine whose name I can't remember is given a dark plum dress to wear by some bad guy. I recently saw about 5 minutes of the movie again, at which point I

I'm looking to make a version of it that's heavily based on the historical style, but which need not be absolutely accurate, since I'm doing it for sheer pretty-dress-ness. Other than Nicole Kipar's website and the Waugh and Arnold pattern books, can anyone point me to some resources that
