First commission!

"Why didn't they put it into production?"

Yes, it's official!  Project: Dark Knight has been commissioned for work!

Some weeks ago, my good friend from British Columbia was interested after seeing the cape, and asked me whether I would consider doing paid work.  Although I had a tight schedule, I was more than happy to accept.

The request was for a Red Riding Hood cloak, made accurate to the movie prop used in the 2011 Hardwicke dark fantasy thriller starring Amanda Seyfried.  She was willing to pay a bit extra to have the piece custom tailored, and made for better comfort and durability than a store-bought alternative, so of course I was happy to oblige.

The costume itself is rather unique, from the design to choice of material right down to the colors, it's an extremely powerful and intriguing piece.

The cloak looks like its made from a linen-ey or woolen material, in a blood red color and with a fair bit of fraying at the hem. The rope looks like it was weaved in a similar material as well.  The cut of the item is also particularly unique, from the excessively oversized hood to the ruffling folds in the capelet section, to the peculiar low-cut armholes to the wide flare at the hem, this beautiful cloak loudly echoes Lil' Red's character and symbolisms from the 700 year old folk tale.

So far no progress photos, but measurements have been made and the material has been cut. We'll have it ready in time to ship for this Halloween.
