Gold Brocade Caraco Jacket

Description

Made during my January break of 2005. This was my first attempt at period clothing. The fabric is a cotton-based brocade from the home deco. section of the local Jo-Ann's, and the boning is plastic cable ties from Home Depot.

I used a J.P. Ryan pattern, but the bodice and sleeves required heavy modification. The patterns come very narrow-shouldered and short-waisted, not to mention pencil-armed.

I even made an attempt at period style make-up with reddened cheeks and whitened skin.
