As if I don’t have enough Claire costumes from Outlander, I have one from season 3 that is unfinished, and since the beginning I wanted to put together this casual costume she wears in the first episode of season 1. Claire was a nurse in the 1940s and when World War II ended, she found […]

Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 2 (& the Red Shoes)
As a huge fan of Outlander (books and show), I coveted Claire’s red dress from season 2. Having many other unfinished projects in bags just begging for attention, I purchased the red dress from Jessica’s Dress and spent almost a year making the undergarments (stays, pocket hoops, petticoat, etc.) and shoes before I could even wear it […]

Costuming at Comicpalooza 2018
Comicpalooza, Texas’ largest comic book, pop culture, and entertainment convention, happened this past Memorial Day weekend (May 25-27, 2018) in Downtown Houston. I attended all three days and treated it as a costume deadline and cosplay dress rehearsal for another convention that we attend, DragonCon, during Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a […]
Costuming Jack Randall from Outlander: Accessories
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels (and Outlander series on Starz), as I have made, purchased, and worn many Claire costumes and accessories. But special points to my husband for putting up with my sewing/costuming madness, and for getting talked into wearing Oulander’s main villain, Captain Black Jack Randall’s […]

Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (Additions)
Claire has so many lovely looks in season 1 of Outlander during her time in the Scottish Highlands. I like that most of the outfits worn during this time are *mostly* historically accurate mix and match pieces of 18th century clothing and accessories – from petticoats to stomachers and jackets, to cloaks and crocheted wool […]
Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (c. 1945)
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of Outlander (books and show) and a HUGE fan of Claire’s character. So much that I’ve costumed several of her season 1 looks in 18th century Scotland, working on a couple season 2 costumes from her time in Paris, and working on pieces from her versatile season […]
