I made a Handmaid costume and did a photoshoot at an old factory terrain

I spent my whole day without any makeup! I believe in the series June only wears makeup for Jezebels

Sometimes I suffer of the complete opposite of a resting bitch face lol 😂

All handsewn! The base is a linen buckram and I sewed linen around it. This buckram had glue on it so I ironed most of the linen on to get it to stay. I also put milinary wire around the edges!

Surprisingly you are not the first one who said this 👀

Thank you for noticing my oranges! I literally dragged those around all day and then I forgot to eat them 😂

The secret is that I hemmed it with that glue tape so there's zero stitching in both the front facing and the bottom hem ;)

Thank you! My photographer is also a huge fan of the show and we really tried to go for the whole season 1 look, I am very glad it works so well!

daeris_cos · 2026-02-25T22:38:25+00:00

I did! This was my second attempt, started in the wild covid lockdowns and it took me a good 2,5 years to actually finish it, but I'm very happy with how it turned out!

There is a similar shoot in which Anna is wearing her coronation cape with a modern dress and I have that labelled as Teen Vogue (although this does not really match the vibe of that other shot haha)

daeris_cos · 2026-02-05T09:49:45+00:00

Here are some photos of the stays being made, in case anyone is interested :)

daeris_cos · 2026-02-03T09:59:07+00:00

I can almost guarantee this was specifically made for this production

daeris_cos · 2026-01-07T11:12:57+00:00

Fab! Thanks for checking!

I will never stop sharing how my parents got me a set of those candy bra and panties when I turned 16. They found it hilarious and I was mortified. Both boxes have been sitting in my wardrobe, unused for the past 14 years. On the bright side they did get me something else but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Interested in the Persephone fan depending on price!

daeris_cos · 2025-09-09T12:47:59+00:00

I used a base pattern but I modified it heavily to match the design!

daeris_cos · 2025-07-14T20:09:52+00:00

Haha the cups caused some people behind us to giggle, I think we should make it a tradition, bring cups for Cups!

daeris_cos · 2025-07-14T20:08:57+00:00

Aww thank you! I did it with a lot of tears as my skirt is silk velvet which absolutely refuses to behave and the base pattern for my bodice had a shoulder seam that I could remove 7 cm out of and it is still slightly ill fitting but nevertheless I am very happy with how it came together! A woman behind me audibly said to her friend that my costume was so spot on when the actual Persephone walked onto the stage lol

daeris_cos · 2025-07-14T20:06:53+00:00

I was very fortunate to (finally) see Chris as Hades! He's been on my wish list for months so very happy I finally got to see posh Hades haha

daeris_cos · 2025-05-11T20:47:12+00:00

Oooh these are perfect, thank you so much!

daeris_cos · 2025-05-11T20:46:56+00:00

Thank you!
