How To Make An Easy Victorian Costume

If you are interested in Victorian clothing fashion and i think you will be interested in knowing how to make an easy Victorisan costume. I will simply share some small tips on this and you can have a reference if you are interested in this clothing fashion.


First, start with a long full skirt for the woman's costume, or take a rectangular piece of fabric or thin blanket. Sew up the sides. Make a waistband by turning over one end and running elastic through it. Gather the bottom by running a thread about a foot from the floor to create a ruffled hem. Stitch a piece of lace around the gathering on the skirt. Wear a square dancing crinoline underneath. This gives the outfit the fullness of the Victorian skirt, allowing it to fall from the knees down.

Second, women can wear a thin poet shirt for the first layer with long full sleeves gathered at the cuffs, or wear a similar loose-fitting shirt and run an elastic through the cuffs. Over that wear a top with cap sleeves. It can be a knitted pullover or shirt that buttons, but the look should be slightly formal with the sleeves short and loose and the shirt tucked in at the waist. Add an eyelet ruffle at the neck and cuffs, and pin a velvet bow in a contrasting color to the neck.

Third, make a cutaway frock coat for men from an inexpensive black raincoat. Cut away the sides, leaving a rounded coat bottom behind the knees. Cover the top points of the collar with black velvet. Wear long straight black pants and a white shirt, turning the collar points up for a Victorian look. Top it off with a brocade vest as a waistcoat to add a formal touch.


Last, wear white gloves and carry a parasol, preferably one with a ruffled edge, as women's accessories. Men might wear a black top hat and white gloves and carry a cane.
