My OST Strumpet Jack Costume (WIP#2)

[Guest]

Okay this is my project for the NorCal Pirate Fest. It's not til June so I have a little more time to get it finished.

Anyways, I have this for the corset


this for the skirt ( it matches the thread color of the vest)

For this look:


And this for a bustle sash

For this look:


I'll use the same suede boots that I'm buying for the ATC costume.

I'm just not sure what type of hat to go with...???
Leather tricorn? Or, fancy felt tricorn?
Hopefully the end result will be very strumpetish!

oooh ok i'm officially intrigued

[Mojo Turbo]

Uh... this is going to drop dead awesome! Whose fabric is that?

[Guest]

Thanks Mojo.
Its Acme vest fabric and sash fabric. He sent me one large piece versus 2 long sash pieces.
I really hope it turns out well. *crosses fingers*
I'm saving $$ for some of SMW's vest fabric also to go with the Acme OST vest fab corset
as a detachable bustle.
So I'll have 2 OST inspired looks.

The coat I bought from BitL last year is big for me, but I plan to incorporate it somehow into this costume...I hope it's overcast that weekend, and not too hot!

[Mojo Turbo]

wow the Holy Grail of coats.... and BITL wore it.... hey, why isn't he here? Someone invite the guy!!!!

[Jodo]

This is awesome! And I want that coat!

[Mojo Turbo]

And I want that coat!

over my dead pre-bloated Elvis face down in his own puke body!

[aelyn000]

1...who is BITL?

2. This is going to be amazingly awesome when it's done!!!!

Well, if that's what it takes to get that coat.

"BitL" = Bird In The Locker

[aelyn000]

WAaaaAAhh! I still don't get it!? Who is Bird In The Locker ??

[Captain McCool]

Haha, okay, so maybe that wasn't absolutely clear. He's a Jack who used to hang around on KttC. Hasn't shown his face in a while though, for some reason. Which is a bummer, 'cause he was a nice bloke.

And by the by, just to keep a little on topic here, this costume idea seems really fun! I can't wait to see where you go with it!

[neojacksparrow]

I am incredibly intrigued by this

[Guest]

Wow! Thanks for all the nice comments! I hope this costume will live up to all your expectations!

I still have to put the Simon buttons on the coat...it's on my "To Do" list!

[Jack's Girl]

Not sure if the last post posted!

Sparrowed - I love your design I can't wait to see you at Norcal! I am still working on my "Jewels Sparrow" ... a project that is in constant evolution! The overdress is still ??? I have the material but I waiting for my muse to direct me

[Guest]

Hi Jack'sGirl!
Thank you so much! I was just talking to Michelle tonight from DitD
about having her make this:

Top OST fabric, bottom Jack sash, or the other way around still utilizing the sash fabric as a bustle.
My overskirt...not sure either. I found that material that matches the thread of the vest fabric but it's heavy.
I then thought maybe the back of jacks vest fabric may look okay...? I honestly don't know what I'll use!
I'm suppose to be sending the fabric out tomorrow, maybe I'll figure something out in the meantime!
I cant wait to see your finished look!! From what I have seen...its really lovely and original, Jewels! You should start a thread and showcase your costume!!

And I'm excited you and Ron decided to go again this year to NORCAL! Its going to be fun!!

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

I didn't know Ronnie knew how to sew!!!!

(Ron is the muse.....get it? )

[Jack's Girl]

Sparrowed - Thank you! I love your ideas! You are going to rock! As far as my own post??? Scary thought lov! I just got word that we may have tickets to the premiere!!! We will see, normally, the extra tickets to the producers’ wives/husbands and they hand them out to their family and friends! lol.

Capn_Jack_Savvy – Yes! Ronnie is so much better than me using the sewing machine! We just bought a new machine, so now we can sew together! We, not really, Ronnie leaves tomorrow for New Orleans to work on 21J. Maybe he can give JD a shout-out for us aye?

[callmemilo]

Looks mighty purdy!

[Cap.cristianSparrow]

well done !

[pinder91]

This is a really cool idea! I'm showing my old lady ASAP.

[Sparrowed]

I just rec'd the gorgeous fabric from SMW. Thank ye Scott!





I'll be using this for my second strumpet outfit. A plain corset and bustle...
 

I want to use the vest scraps as ruching trim to achieve a hat result like this:

[Cap.cristianSparrow]

marry me

[Sparrowed]

marry me

I'm deeply flattered dear captain, but... I thought your first and only love was the sea?!

[Mojo Turbo]

... and you have a girlfriend.
