Here is my finished Hobbit Bodice!

I hope one day to get a decent wig since curling my own hair is a pain, plus I'd like shorter hair around the front and perhaps a bit blonder than my natural color. I had my heart set on a cream chemise, moss skirt and rust-colored bodice. I chose the fabric because it wasn't too rich of a brocade, but resembled the fabric used in Merry's waistcoat, so I thought it appropriate. It's trimmed with velvet ribbon and the buttons have dragons on them. I hand-bound the button holes. The ears I ordered from WETA.

This is now wearable, but I will probably add a cloak for the December Hobbit premiere, and when I learn the skills, I plan to hand-tie a wig and hand-make proper hobbit feet.

Please download full size to see dragon button and fabric details

Not to be used as stock. Please also note, this is NOT COSPLAY. This is a COSTUME, so please don't call it a 'cosplay'. Thank you for understanding.

I love your hair, it's so cute like that. I can totally understand not wanting to curl your own all the time though. You did a brilliant job on this, such professionalism and neat work. The buttons are an awesome detail with the dragons

I really like the velvet ribbon edging on the bodice too, adds a nice finishing touch. The smocking in the chemise is such a fine detail and I do like how you finished the sleeves to coordinate. All you need a wreath of flowers in your hair and you are ready for Bilbo's Birthday Bash :-D

What do you think?

Here's your critique. Someday I definitely want you to give me lessons. Especially on fabric manipulation.

It looks great.

Sure

Anything in particular you're interested in? I remember you were checking out the smocking before

~brucethelesser Mar 11, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Smocking is a good start. And returning the favor if there's anything specific you'd like to know about casting I'll try and include it when Dave and I do the demo later this year.
