Esther Costume Designs

Description

These are some designs for the show I am just starting work on. The show is a retelling of the story of Esther (from the Bible) but set in the Medieval period. Not my ideal story of choice, but hey, I get paid to make Medieval costumes, and the story somehow involves ABBA songs and a gay blacksmith so I can't complain! :D

I'm only designing and making Esther's costumes for the time being so I got to work on designing and sourcing fabrics ASAP. They're not 100% historically accurate (I took a lot of liberties with fabrics), but I'm on a tight budget of £85 for the materials, trimmings etc for all three costumes put together. :O Why, hello there staff discount!

In the story Esther starts out as a peasant and then is picked by the King to be his new Queen, so I get to make both ends of the social spectrum!

Hopefully I will get some decent photos of the finished costumes in the not too distant future. But first I need to start making them, lol.
