mala_14 | Fabric success! ALL the GoT fabrics!

I managed to find all the fabrics I need for my GoT Tyrell costume. All fabrics were $8/metre except the skirt fabric which was $5. Score! (Of course they're all synthetics, but for a costume like this which won't be super labour intensive and is fantasy I'm totally OK with having fabrics that just look pretty.) I got a blue and taupe damask?brocade?, where the taupe parts are fuzzy and a blue lightweight taffeta to match. I also bought some velveteen, which is sort of a mossy sage colour and will need to be dyed. (That should be interesting and fun. I already have some turquoise dye. Maybe I should get some dye remover too?) Not pictured is the white drill I plan on using as a strength layer for the bodice. (Disclaimer: all the colours are slightly lighter and greener in real life and the damask-y fabric and taffeta are actually a very close match.)

I really wanted a blue and gold brocade, but it was not to be. Maybe I could invest in some gold fabric paint and do a bit of a paint job on the taupe parts...

Miraculously, the store also had some silks. So I got this gold crinkle silk for $12/metre which is much cheaper than I've ever seen silk anywhere here. In real life it is very gold. I thought it'd be great to line the big King's Landing sleeves and for edging and piping.

Not GoT related, I also got some grey drill to make some shorts or capri pants. No pictures because it's not very exciting looking. ;p All in all, a very successful fabric shopping trip!
