Description
Lady Maria overlooking the Cainhurst snow.

One of my favorite shots from the Halloween set! It's no secret that I'm more than a little obsessed with great architecture, so I'm glad to have gotten to incorporate it into the costume photos when I went back to visit my home state of Massachusetts in October. It was the least I could do to pay tribute to this incredible character, her tremendous dignity, strength, and soulfulness. 🌻

Construction Notes

The costume was made by me except for the undershirt and trousers, which were purchased and then dyed. The boots and hat were bought and modified and the pendant was an Ebay find.
Maria's hunter gear is beautifully textured, so I wanted to reflect that with each chosen material. The cape, trousers, and hat are all made out of microsuede. The gauntlets and top of the boots are made of leather while the vest was made of dupioni silk. The jabot is made of a gorgeous off-white linen.
The jacket is made of a lovely jacquard black fabric, which I decided to line in an iridescent taffeta that is woven with scarlet red and shot with black. The bottom of the hems were weathered and then burnt to give it "The Old Yharnam treatment." The jabot/necktie is made of linen and is dyed using tea and wine.
