Recorded Remembrance

 

Coalescaremonium was born as one of the most splendid of nights, granting Brussels its very own miniature Gothic Treffen; brimming with artistic performances and dramatic acts, including myself taking to the stage.

Rounded Ruffles, Decorated

Not finding enough time to take on the ruff collar concept from scratch, a pre-made design proved itself an ideal experimentation base to be turned into a higher level ornament by attaching two sizes of pearly beads procured from a remnant strip of bridal trim: one every three correlation points, alternating big and small to gain differently weighted rows, whilst just sewing together the empty points for a strong round ruffle flow.

The Forged Cross

The physical unification of modernistic and arcane cross, impeccable in form and shape; with adjustable security chain, making it go perfect with any outfit.

Buying Gothic clothes is difficult, especially when they have to be combinable with made-to-measure items that are exact in size; making it often more rewarding to – instead of looking for a perfect fit – keep an eye out for minimal effort candidates, that can be easily accustomed into fitting one’s own shape and wardrobe.

Punctilious Seam

The final seam (center front) on the cape construction requires a mighty travail of handwork in preparation of the few minutes machine time needed to give a perfectly connected fabric, trim and lining after ironing.
