04. The Smuggler - Shirt & Skirts

Year: 2012/2013
Source: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer
Materials: cotton, grosgrain ribbon, lace
Conventions attended: Supanova 2013, PAXAus 2013, Chaos 2014



To make the collar I traced the curve of the neckline from the doublet and drew the collar flaps. The swirls were created in Illustrator and hand embroidered.

Bottom of the shirt.

I made the decision to not make a full shirt to cut down on layers and fabric. The collar and shirt tails are attached to the doublet with loops and buttons.


There were no clear images of the detail on the in-game skirt so I had to design my own. They were hand embroidered.


This underskirt gave me problems, particularly where the bottom curves of the front panels meet with the back panel. It was a lot of drawing out a pattern piece and looking in the mirror to try to get it looking right.

All of these pieces are lined with bemsilk lining.

Each side was made up of 3 panels joined together by the waist band.


The design was also created in Illustrator, scaled to fit the pattern piece and traced onto tissue paper. It was taped onto the vinyl and hand embroidered with a basic running stitch.



The cream braid was again hand sewn onto the edges and metal fashion stud domes applied. This skirt closes with press studs and it fully lined.
