One of the very first forays into non-Renaissance faire costuming I made was my Stanzie gown. For our first Famous Dead Person’s Ball in 1992, my ex wanted to be Mozart, specifically as in the movie Amadeus<\/a><\/i>. His stepmom graciously offered to make his costume, so I decided to try and make myself an 18th-century gown.<\/p>\n

My first try was a disaster. Wearable, but really screwed up. I refused to take any pictures of it, although I did wear it at the Halloween party.<\/p>\n

The next summer in 1993, the GBACG decided to hold a Bastille Day Fete<\/a>. I was on the Board of Directors by this time, and I was determined to attend more events, even if that meant sewing more and more different costumes. I set out to create a proper Constanze gown, recreating what she wears in her very first scene of the movie.<\/p>\n

This was long before the Internet had movie stills everywhere, heck, it was before DVDs, so I had to watch my VHS copy of the film over and over again until I practically wore it out! Today, a mere image search turns up the same pix in a flash (which is what I did for the movie images on this page).<\/p>\n

I lucked out by finding a blue and white floral drapery brocade on the sale table at the fabric store. I hacked away again at the Pegee of Williamsburg Colonial dress pattern again, this time changing the front side opening to the center back for a smoother line in the front. I got my mom’s help for the very tricky hemming of a skirt over pocket hoops. Then I trimmed the thing like there was no tomorrow with lace, ribbon roses, and bows. My work didn’t go in vain either. At the fete, I received a little award for Best Recreation Costume!<\/p>\n

The following year, the Guild had another Bastille Day event<\/a>, this time a dinner in San Francisco. By then, I’d added a white wig to the outfit, which definitely looked more the part. I’d bought the wig on Halloween day at a drugstore for a couple bucks to wear with the gown to a nightclub. The wig was totally plastic, but it looked decent enough, IMO. We went to the banquet and had a lovely time. I wore the outfit a few more times before retiring it and finally selling the pair of outfits at a Costumer’s Guild flea market. They served us well.<\/p>\n
