    Aug 29, 2011 - Blue Alice in Wonderland coat-Finsihed with pics!!! #1
    ***********Here's my finished pics! I may add some more later but I'm kind in a rush at the moment. ***********************









    So when I saw Alice in wonderland (the Tim Burton version) I fell in love with so many of the costumes. I've already made the Hatter and Um from Umbridge but now I want to make that blue coat that she wears at the end of the film for all of 5 seconds. I've really gotten into making movie coat replicas because so many are great coats and can be worn as an everyday article of clothing without people realizing that it is technically a "costume".

    So here are my work in progress photos of it so far. Already there are little things here and there that I would change if I were to make it again but overall I am happy with how it's coming out. Also with the camera flash the coat color is coming out more sky blue then periwinkle blue but it is definitely a more toned down light blue then what the pics are showing. The closeup of the back is the most accurate color depiction.

    The actual coat:


    My work in progress:

    here's some more photos of my coat! It's definitely more tricky then one would think but so far I'm liking how its coming out. The only issue I came across is the wool wasn't quite wide enough so I had to go back and buy more. I'm having to use about 4.5 yards of wool and that last yard has quite a bit of waste space. In the future if I make this coat again I'll have to make sure to get 60" wide fabric. Da well! Here are the sleeves and the bottom extension. I wish you could see the pinking edges more clearly but no matter how I do the picture it doesn't come out that clear.

    I've now got the collar and lining on. Now it's a matter of figuring out how to do the embroidery on the front where the buttons go. I believe I have it figured out but am still trying to perfect it.

    Before the collar goes on....the finished product ends up being a bit to thick because of the extra layer of wool but I'm unsure of how to go about fixing that.


    The lining:

    A few more pics of the jacket. It's basically done now, all it needs is buttons. I tried the buttons I had but the shanks made them stick to far out from the jacket so I'm waiting for some more flat back buttons to arrive that I can cover. But other then those it's all done and I can't wait to get the buttons on and then take proper pics with the coat on outside somewhere like the beach or on/near a boat/harbor area to give that end of the movie feel. As for the detail on the front of the coat....for the longest time I thought those were trims or some kind of add on but when I watched the blu ray of the film it seemed to be embroidery. So that's what I went with because it looked the most accurate/cleanest/easiest. I had to use my machine to do it by following a stencil I marked on the coat (which thankfully all markings came off at the dry cleaners) so it was a bit of an organic process lol but overall I'm happy with the look.

    Yes! Once I get the button shells in so I can cover the buttons with the same wool it will be 100% finished and ready for a photoshoot. I'm hoping for next weekend sometime to be when it happens.

    It's all done! I finally got my flat shell button shells and smaller shank ends so the buttons lie flat against the coat! Now all I have to do is take the studio picture of it on with me all Alice'd up! That will probably be next weekend! But for now:

    Thank you both! I'm really quite proud of this coat build! I've always found coats to be hard and I really took my time with this one and I think it shows. I can't wait to show the pics of the coat on me because that's when it really comes to life.

    I also want to thank everyone who takes the time to comment and even view my thread! I really appreciate it! (I really wanted a kiss smiley face but apparently that's the closest I could get lol)

    Lovely! A friend of mine did the rick-rack skirt worn under the coat. It only required 200 yards of rick-rack.

    That coat is beautiful. Where did you take those pictures? It looks like it might be the Del Mar/Solana Beach area?

    Jumping on the 'that's beautiful' bandwagon. The detail is just...wow. Gorgeous setting for the photo's too. 10/10.
