Corset is 8 patterns total. I redrafted it at least 4-5 times to get it correct. Before I even put it on the twill I made a different curve on the chest to emphasize the chest a little more and shaped the bust. Cut and sewed both the heavy twill face fabric and the cotton lining. Went and took extra cotton bias to make boning channels. 7 channels total - 5 with spiral steel and 2 steel. I used the steel on the front to make it shape better and straight compared to the sides/back/center front. Probably could have used all steel but I wanted a bit of fiddle room to adjust if need be and stuff the ribbon tie. Combined the face and lining and sewed along the edges and flipped it all inside out. I top stitched the top and bottom of the corset. Afterwards, I slowly but surly altered all the bottom bias to fit the triangle pattern for the corset. It took a lot of time and patience. Top section was much easier and straight forward. After all was said and done I had to punched and grommet 22 holes.



Bloomers I ended up making a pattern with matching colors to the character on SAI and uploading it to Spoonflower to get it printed in 1 yard. Flatlined with cotton since it's a silk faille and a bit see through. Sewed it all up and top stitched the elastic to the edging at the bottom so it still had ruffles and fit snug on my thighs.



Hat is made with everything left over for materials. Drafted on my own with a bit of math. It's a bit smaller than I like but worst case is fixing it up later on. Buckram helps give it the solid and soft shape to be able to curve to what Witch original has on her design. Black strap to tie the hat down is stitched to the inside of the cone.



Cape is pretty straight forward. Altered circle skirt pattern with a tie at the top and long enough to hide behind my back. Lined and bias taped around the edging.



Everything else is either stuff I bought or just had on hand.
