Need EASY way to sew ADJUSTABLE waistband. Making skirts for kids – fabric too heavy for gathered elastic band

  • October 28, 2010 6:13 pm

I’m making kids costumes and the girls skirts are made of a suede material. I don’t think the fabric will gather well for an elastic waitstband, but I want the skirts somewhat adjustable in case they don’t fit each girl exactly. I’d like the ideas I collect to be quick and easy ways to do an adjustable waistband. I’m fairly handy with sewing and I can follow most directions (just provide lots of details!) Thanks.

Can anyone help me find trim for my renaissance costume?

I’ve been searching around for some ribbon and some fringe that will work with my costume. I’ve already got the bodice made and close to finished beading. What I’m looking for is some ribbon for a skirt I’m making out of yellow peach/orange and a silvery green fabric. They’re vertical stripes and I’m looking for some ribbon that has those colors and an almost maroon red color to cover up the seams. I’m also looking for most of those colors in a fringe for around the brown overskirt I’m making. I’m just wondering if anyone has some ideas on websites I should check out. thanks bye

Help with costume for the Renaissance Faire?

  • September 12, 2010 10:59 am

This year I am going to the Renaissance Faire with my school! YAY! We have to wear costume, so far I have collected a tan dress. The texture of the dress is a bit like soft burlap, however, I am not sure what to wear with it. I know that I would like a bodice (isn’t that what they called the small vest-like apparel that they wear over the dress?)
but I am not sure what colors were available to the lower class during the Renaissance, so I am not sure what color or texture of fabric to make that out of. Also, I need shoes, but I am a vegetarian and I would really prefer not to have to wear leather. If anyone can help, I’d be very appreciative!
Oh, and if it helps, I am tall (like 5 feet… and 3-4 inches?) and skinny, (only 100 pounds) I have long brown hair, so maybe hairstyles too, if you have any recommendations :)

Also, I don’t want to buy anything from a costume store or website. I prefer to go to Goodwill and look for things there. I am willing to buy fabric, etc., though.

Sorry that was so long :)

Does anyone wear renaissance or anime costumes?

I have a shop online and I make renaissance clothes but I need some feedback on wear to get good patterns, fabric, and some general feedback.
