Outlander Commission - 1feb17

Black with red flower brocade was used to make a kimono robe - based upon provided photos. A completely new pattern was developed for this robe. The sleeves were lined with a nearly-reverse-color brocade. The robe is half lined (upper torso only) and has brocade facing in the front.

A delicate poly chiffon fabric with gold embellishement was used to make a Robe Battante. The sleeves were modified to be long and draped. The chiffon was reinforced at the back bodice with cotton batiste, and self lined. The hem was sewn with gold bias tape. The robe pools on the 'floor' with a slightly long train.

The first Outlander inspired waistcoat was made with royal blue cotton fabric with cream cotton batiste full lining. The waistcoat has eight lighter blue buttons with working buttonholes. The two pocket flaps conceal working pockets. There are splits at both sides and center-back. The waistcoat is top-stitched all the way around. (waistcoat photos show only a couple of buttons done up)

The second waistcoat was made with deep black cotton fabric with silver cotton batiste full lining. The waistcoat has eight black buttons with working buttonholes. The two pocket flaps conceal working pockets. There are splits at both sides and center-back. The waistcoat is top-stitched all the way around.

The fawn fall-front breeches were made with suedecloth fabric. The fall front is self lined. The waistband closes with two snaps, and has dark buttons as embellishment. The fall front closes with two tiny snaps, and has buttons outside. The calf has a cuff, closing with two tiny snaps and a button on the outside of each cuff as embellishment.
