Morgana's Red Dress




Morgana's red dress first appears in Season 2 with the episode 3 .
We often find this dress with the red velvet cape.



The dress is composed of one simple dress (bustier dress maybe) 
made of linen fabric and over it a
red velvet bolero with embroideries. 



At the end of the sleeves of the bolero and along the collar we can find silk- chiffon fabric. 




There is one golden metal button at each sleeve (at the end of the sleeve between the velvet and chiffon fabric).














DO IT YOURSELF :




For the dress, I used the Butterick 4827 pattern model A and lightly changed the collar shape. For the bolero, you can use the Burda 2526 pattern model B and change the collar shape and the bolero length. 

You will need about 3,5 meters of red linen fabric (without lining) for the dress and about 1,5-2 meters of red velvet fabric.













You will need 2 gold metal buttons and a red invisible zip (or hooks / straps). 

For the embroidery, you need to buy : needles for hand-embroiding, 3 threads / yarns (red, silver and gold color), (about 25) white beads, red transparent diamond-shaped - crystal beads(2 different sizes), gold sequins, silver sequins and ocher / ochre color sequins.









BOLERO PART :




I lightly changed the collar shape to make one bigger and lower. Then I cut the chiffon into strips. For the sleeve I only sewed it to the sleeve tip, and along the collar, I first creased the fabric in using a simple hand-stitch then I sewed it to the collar (with the hem).


I made the embroidery once all the bolero was sewed. I recommend you to first draw the embroidery on paper before starting the embroidery to make it clear for you. I started the main shape with the white thread then the gold thread (in using the embroidery stitch : "")
Moreover, I made the "leafs" shape with the ocher sequins, then the "hearts" shape with the gold one and finished by sewing the silver sequins. Then I sewed the red and white beads.

WARNING : As you can see, on the lower part of the embroidery the gold embroidery stitch (which makes a branch) is wrapped by a red thread (feel free to add it to your embroidery).


*Once your embroidery made, you can add a zip or hooks to the bolero.

LINKS FOR TUTORIALS :
*Wrapped Pearls
* Embroidery for Beginners (the blending embroidery floss "3:35" for the gold wrapped with red)
*Hand Embroidery for Beginners ( the chain stitch "6:32" is, according to me, the better stitch for the main shape with the silver thread. But you need to do smaller stitches). For the gold thread, check the leather stitch "7:23".

Morgana's Red Velvet Cape


Morgana's Red Cape first appears in Season 2 with the episode 03.
It also exists another one (red cape) without hood in the first season.
The cape was made of red velvet fabric and lined with ivory/white crinkled taffetas for the hood and maybe white velvet for the upper lined part of the cape.

The cape is tied thanks to a tie and a kind of jewel made in the same way as filigree jewels. I guess they used a silver metallic thread, green stones and maybe gold-bronze sequins. They also made an embroidery of white pearls.

The colors of the "embroidery" is a kind of grey-light gold, depending on the picture.







Do It Yourself :

I used the Simplicity 5794 Pattern Model B and change the hood pattern to make one bigger for a better drop of the hood.

You will need about 6 meters of red velvet.
If you want to line the cape, you have two choices :


  • You can line all the cape with only one fabric (white velvet or white taffetas) so you'll need 6 meters of this fabric.
  • You can line the cape with 1,5 meters of white crinkled taffetas, and 4,5 (or 5) meters of white velvet for the remainder.







    To tie the cape, you will need a tie covered with a red fabric (you can find it in a dry goods / haberdashery).
    The shape of the tie is like the picture on the left.





    Then, If you want to make the embroidery, I suggest to embroider the white/grey beads and make the metal structure/shape with polymer clay or harden clay and resign and to glue it / or embroider it if you can, on the collar of the cape.
