“Ghosts are real. This much I know.”
I’m just about finished with Edith! Gotta fuss with the gathers a bit more and add my tiny buttons but I am fully living for this aesthetic

I made Edith's Nightgown from Crimson Peak ✨
I did not use a pattern for this, I did however take some notes. The neckpiece and the body are seperate (just to make it easier to get into). I used a little less than 10m of chiffon (which I randomly found in my fabric stash lol), some lace I had lying around, a buttonhole ribbon and some pearl buttons both of which I got on Amazon. Would definitely recommend at least 10m of fabric if not more for ultimate ruffliness.
The neckpiece was made by cutting out four 70cm circles with a 10cm hole in the middle and sewing those together to form one big long ruffle. I then sewed four parallel lines, with super long stitches and bunched up the fabric to create the ruffle effect. I left the bottom of the neckpiece raw, just because I think it adds a bit of texture. Then I sewed on a buttonhole ribbon and the lil pearl buttons (which I got from amazon).
The body is just a 170cm wide and 150cm long piece and a 170cm x 170cm long piece sewn together, ruffled at the top and with a band of elastic sewn on. The nightgown does have a train so I cut a lil curve into the bottom of the longest piece.
The biggest challenge was the sleeve. Chiffon doesnt hold it's shape very well, so I mixed together some starching fluid (boiled starch and water) and ironed the hell out of it. The bottom of the sleeve I deliberately cut way too long so I could ruffle it. Last thing I did was add some lace to the cuffs. I probably would do a few things differently next time but I'm happy with how it came out. Now I just need a white wig lol ^^
And here's the finished result:
Btw, I also found this promo picture and decided it would look great as a background, so if you wanna use it yourself, here ya go, I edited out Lucille for ya. Go nuts.
PS: actual footage of me running down the stairs in this lovely flowy nightgown arrrrggghhh I love it so much anyway thanks for reading love ya

So, if anyone has been Pining after Edith’s clasped-hand belt like me, here’s your chance!
Cuttle and Bone on Etsy is running a preorder of 25 replicas. For ages I only found out about things like this too late to snag one, so I’m doing my best to spread the word!

Can you believe I sew this in 4 days?! Because I can't 😂😱 So typical of me, doing total closet costume or #gobigorgohome
Edith's nightgown was one of my dream cosplays since we saw it in cinema back in 2015. At least something good happened because of Covid... I had time to sew. I couldn't wear this costume if we go out to the Amusement Park/Zoo like last year anyway, so if we neded to make a full house party I decided to do this. In the 4 days I had no time to dye it's hem, but it is in my plans, to finish it to one of the cons. 😁 It is 5,5 m dubble cheesecloth fabric from @bubulakovo, and in the moment I saw this fabric I know I wanted it from this, the texture is just perfect 💖 I used my old base-dress sewing pattern's sleeve pattern, everything beside this was made totally without any pattern 😱 2 days diffenetly passed with trying to do the patterns 😂
The wig is an old one I want to buy to her a better, less modern curled one, but as you see I had no time to buy one 😂 I feel like I looks way to Disney princessy with this to not change it for the future. 😂

One more Edith pic for now!
Also going to just comment on tumblr itself. We all joke about it being a hellsite but it is one of the only places I still feel like I can make posts just because I want to and not have to consciously think about how to strategically post something.
And I find I get actual, real life engagement and reach with real people. It just overall feels more genuine and I appreciate our little hellsite (affectionate).

PLEASE DO NOT REBLOG
Thought I'd share my Edith Cushing cosplay here since my last Crimson Peak post actually got attention. I worked really hard on this cosplay but it's not getting as many views as my other videos for some reason.
