hessian (collen atwood) costume

hey does anyone have any idea on how to make the hessian costume from tim burtons sleepy hollow? I know museum replicas made one and is pretty good but the tunic is not that good I was wondering how could I make that ornate silver chest piece on the costume? I thought maybe I could use a tooling leather technique but I need other ideas heres the tunic piece I'm talking about

You may not believe it, but that intricate design was fabric puff paint... Just sayin'

I was thinking that the tooling leather was the best approach as well. I was planning on contracting a friend to do just that for me.

I do think that the tooled piece is detachable from the tunic.

That's a great image. I had someone approach me to do this a couple months ago, and had to turn them down due to sheer lack of reference material. Do you have any other large images?

Are you making a joke? Or do you actually know this to be fact?

how do you know?

i believe it is a fact

I have always loved this costume, and wanted one since the movie came out. are you sure that it is puff paint some of those details look a little too fine to be puff paint. though i could be wrong.

Coleen Atwood herself said it was puff paint, also a member here was able to see it in person (way back) and he also said it was puff paint, so, while I didn't test it myself I'm quite sure it is indeed puff paint.

I'm not sure how it was laid on the surface, maybe they made a screen to screen-print it, but that's how I THINK they did it

heres how I think it was done puff fabric paint on fabric cut it out and sew it onto the tunic

I can totally believe it's puff paint...Very interesting!
