Step 4Sewn pieces overview
I'm not providing details for all the sewn pieces here but I am providing an overview.
TRAIN: Covered under silk painting, since it was originally white fabric.
JACKET: Done in heavy, mostly matte "Ultra Satin" fabric, lined with mystery rayon. Two types of gold trimming, applied partly by machine and partly by hand. Tassels were made from scratch and the ends dyed.
TUNIC: Decent quality satin, body is lined in cotton muslin, design in metallic silver trim applied entirely by hand with invisible thread. Zips up the back.
CUMBERBUND: The black part is made from a commercial pattern with some alterations, using a lightweight upholstery fabric with an interesting suede-like pattern, polyester boning. "Armor" section is stiffened Fuzzform with craft foam for dimension, leather over top. Leather already had a paint effect on it, which I enhanced with silver and purple fabric paint. The black part laces up the back; I made the "armor" section removable with velcro to make it easier to transport.
WHITE SKIRT: Attached to the train and mostly covered by it. Rayon fabric with stenciled iridescent white rose design, with sequins and beads.
PANTS: Stretch velvet leggings, elastic waistband, very basic and easy, all serged. First time doing a serged-on waistband (works great). Used a commercial pattern that didn't need alteration.
GREAVES/BOOT TOPS: Technically these aren't sewn but I'm not going to cover them in detail since I never liked how they came out anyway. They were made from Wonderflex, Fuzzform, PVC vinyl, backed with upholstery vinyl, and attach around the leg with Ultra Velcro.
