Faire Debut - Alexander Cole's Blog
http://ac-designs.livejournal.com/4905.html
Aug 21st, 2011 at 10:02 AM. Alexander's costume is still incomplete but we debuted at the Bristol Renaissance Faire on 8/20/11! As you can tell the Venetians completely changed. They turned into Canions and Pansied Slops (aka pumpkin pants) were made to go over them. The hat is borrowed for a fellow costumer, as is the woman's gown next to him. This picture was taken on an iPhone. The complete costume should be ready by Labor Day and will have professional photographs taken then. Red and gold doublet.

I have over a dozen antique tailoring shears which I use and most of them are going to be restored at some point (and possible new homes to be found where they can and will be used!

Oct 27th, 2011 at 6:30 AM. Has gone through a complete overhaul and has come out updated with a new logo, new photographs of recent work and will be easy to update in the future. It's also cellphone friendly as it doesn't use flash whatsoever, so iPhone and iPad users should have no problem accessing the site. On top of this I have been putting in overtime at the day job to help us catch up on our Disney orders. Red and gold doublet. Red and gold venetians. View my Tags page. Designed by Lilia Ahner.

Dec 18th, 2011 at 10:53 PM. Here are photographs of three out of four dresses that were on the runway. First we have The Manhattan. This dress has a red satin bodice that is stretched over black spandex to create a rippled pattern. The skirt of the dress is a twill weave of red satin and gold flecked red spandex. This dress is worn over a short petticoat. Then there is the Blue Hawaiian. This dress is made of blue velvet with iridescent dupioni silk pleats and accents. It is constructed of 9 panels.
