Herein, I have finished Sybil's forepart, which is worn like a decorative apron over the petticoat and under the overskirt. I'm so happy to finally be working with these gorgeous top fabrics for Sybil's ensemble! Stay tuned as we work ever closer to the finish line Portals to Other Realms: https://lintr.ee/alirien Costumes: https://rumble.com/playlists/X6gDjf7JqPg

Herein, we have made the underskirt, or petticoat, for Sybil's Elizabethan garb. This piece really makes the final silhouette much more apparent, and I'm excited for y'all to see the finished ensemble!

In this vlog, I constructed the bum roll, also called a bolster, a hip pad, or simply a roll, for Sybil's renaissance noble garb. This is the final undergarment piece of the ensemble, meaning we now get to move on to the pretty outer fabrics as we begin the skirts!

Part 4 of Sybil's garb is the Spanish farthingale, the predecessor to paniers and hoop skirts. This was my first time completing one, and while it needs a size adjustment at the waist, I'm very pleased with it- and Sybil loves it! She adores the fabric, and we're both excited for the next piece, which is the bum roll.

This was filmed over a month and a half in 2022 as I sewed the first attempt at Sybil's pair of bodies. Various issues, both with the stays and other people's comments, led to the scrapping of this version. Stay tuned next Thursday for this year's vlog where I try again!

Sybil's garb is finally here! These videos will release further apart than Alyce's did, as I am actively building the garb as we speak. Stay tuned! Portals to Other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien Costumes: https://rumble.com/playlists/X6gDjf7JqPg

Get Ready With Me! Here's the full process of Alyce Pestle's garb from foundation to finish. I'm so proud of the result, Alyce is a happy camper, and I'm so stoked to move on to new projects! This really has been a labor of love. Portals to Other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien Costumes: https://rumble.com/playlists/X6gDjf7JqPg

It's done! Alyce's bodice has been rebuilt, and it's much better than the first one! There are a few tweaks that will be made in the coming months, but for my purposes, she's complete. Stay tuned for one final entry in this series, and get ready for a new visitor! Portals to Other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien Cosplay: https://rumble.com/playlists/X6gDjf7JqPg

Hey, y'all! Here is Part 6 of making Alyce Pestle's garb. We finished the look with a fully lined floor-length hooded linen cloak, which came in SUPER clutch on cold, misty, or rainy days at Festival! I'm so happy with this piece, and I can't wait to show you the complete look in the GRWM vlog. I just need to rebuild a couple of pieces first. Stay tuned for more Animal Crossing!

Hey, y'all! Here is Part 5 of making Alyce Pestle which is all about the tie-on pockets, the apron, and the St. Birgitte Cap. All three of these pieces were made out of the same linen I used for the shift from Burnley & Trowbridge. The pockets and cap were drafted by myself (with help from videos on YouTube from Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner), and the apron was from Butterick pattern 5509. We have one piece left from the original construction process: the full-length hooded cloak! Stay tuned!

Hey, y'all! Here is the part in which we finish Alyce's shift or smock. The shift, with a few variations under a few different names, was the quintessential and ubiquitous undergarment for men and women throughout most of the Western world's known history. In women's dress, it wouldn't see a decline in use until the creation of combinations in the 1870s. I'm very proud of my first piece of historic garb, and I'm excited to share the rest of this journey with you! What was your first historic garb? Reference used for this version of the shift: https://reconstructinghistory.com/blogs/blog/your-first-garb-the-chemise I used white shift or shirt linen from Burnley & Trowbridge for this piece.

She's here! I lovingly present the first installment of the Alyce Pestle costume build. Alyce is my original Irish apothecary from Elizabethan England whom I created for my local Renaissance Festival. I'm very proud of this costume and character, and I can't wait for y'all to see the rest of the process!
