Dr. Boom Costume

A friend of mine had an idea for a Renn Faire costume that he wanted to do, he described what he wanted it to look like and I gave him some pattern and fabric options.

Design Concept for Dr. Boom Costume

Fabric choices for the costume

Realized the tunic pieces might be a bit too long

Other tunic pieces

Cut the main tunic pieces after measuring them on him

Not enough fabric to make the sleeves out of one piece, so I did what was typical in historical fashion and piecemealed it.

Realized that the tunic might be too short now

Definitely too short

Added more fabric, used a design to make it look intentional
