Hello all,
I have been lurking around this site for months like some sort of degenerate and decided it was high time that I actually properly joined in on all the fun. I am a huge fan of Assassin's Creed and was rather taken by the character of Sofia Sartor from AC:Revelations. I have seen some nice versions but I wanted to incorporate a slightly more historically accurate version whilst still retaining the aesthetic of the character design.
I also have given myself an extra challenge by re-purposing an old costume for this project and trying to make it mostly for bobbins. So far I have re-drafted the bodice pattern to have a peplum, turned the sleeve into a puff sleeve and drew out where I wanted the gold portions of the bodice. The inside lining of the bodice is boned with 15 cable ties at strategic points, so I have a nice smooth structure and some support for my, er, decolletage when I'm wearing it. Historically I should wear a corset for the time period but this way I get the look I want without being too uncomfortable. In retrospect I could have sewn the gold portions on top of the green instead of sewing two convex curves together into a seam, I would have done a lot less swearing that way!
This is the main image I'm working from and since I've been playing AC:Revelations again lately I grabbed screen-shots like a crazy woman!
I'm also working on a related accessory from the AC series but you'll have to stay tuned for that later.
Feel free to add for constructive critique.
