  Added Aug 20, 2012

  This is the dress Mina is wearing in the absithne scene in Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola. Probably the most famous costume from the movie, it’s been made by lovely and missed Eiko Ishioka.
  I found that dress so amazing and I’m crazy about red.
  You can find the wh…

  

• Bram Stoker's Dracula : Lucy Westenra's Snake Dress

  Added Aug 16, 2012

  I made this dress for a meeting organized by a french forum. The meeting is based on Dracula, a movie by F.F.Coppola.

  This costume was hard to make : I painted the snakes wi…

  

• Lugosi Jacket

  Added Nov 1, 2011

  I called this the Lugosi Jacket after someone walked past my market stall and said my clothes look like Vampire wear. I took it as a compliment considering I love Dracula films and HBO’s True Blood is pretty cool (not so much the latest season).

  I used the same pa…

  

• Incredibly-short-on-me dress

  Added May 17, 2011

  I made this and then played around with the cut and the back. It’s very shoddy work as i made it when I was only 11. I got the neck detail from my brother’s old dracula suit.

• Navy Dracula cape

  Added May 28, 2010

  A cape pattern from the old Burda Style website which features bust, waist and back darts that open into pleats, cap sleeves with bat wings, belt and a lining. Still undecided as to whether I should make a self-fabric belt or not. What do you think?

• More Pirate than Dracula

  Added Feb 20, 2010

  I used the pattern Cape Dracula from Geri of sewable.blogspot.com.

  I also made the buttons and used an old buckle for the belt.

• Cape Dracula - Reversible

  Added Jul 7, 2009

  I made this months ago, and have just now remembered to post. I chose not to use facings; instead, I made mine reversible by using wool again and making the sleeves of a slinky blue material on the reversed side. There are buttons on both sides, also. I prefer min…
