Bruegel Costume.
The brief for the Bruegel costume project was to create one of the costumes of one of the characters in the The Wedding Dance, 1566 by Pieter Brue. My group picked the man, we chose is the one in the bottom right hand corner in the red box which I added to identify him easier.
The project involved us forming groups of four or five and anaylising the picture to determine what the material would have been, the placement of the seems and the shapes of the garments.
The pattern laying proved to be very time consuming and at times, difficult.
The fabrics were already coloured and where made from a cotton/wool fibre. We only had twelve lessons to construct this costume and therefore didnt really have the time to use for dying the fabric ourselves.
Making the costume went fairly well, it didn't take too long to put together once all of the pattern pieces were drawn and cut out.
Zoe was our model so all the measurements were taken from her at the beginning of the project. After the garment body was put together we then had to fit the trousers to her. The fitting went well and didn't take very long to do.
The finish costume involved a doublet, Jerkin, Hose and a codpiece and all the garments fitted well together.
This is the final outcome.
