Description
My Victorian Peacock costume I designed. [link] Inspired by Victorian fashion and of course the beautiful peacock. Worn over full victiorian undergarments, including my corset. [link] I used 15 yards of blue satin for the skirt, overskirt drape, collar, and train. I spent over 100 hours handbeading the bodice and the trim around the sleeves and skirt drape. Each of the 200 peacock feathers I sewed on individually by machine onto the detachable collar and train.Total cost = $350

Victoria DID become empress of India, so this could have happened via use of Indian peacock feathers.
Gorgeous work.

This dress is just breathtakingly beautiful. The folds at the bottom just make the dress. Wow! Great work!
I've seen other peacock dresses but none have been as great as this.

Alright, I am totally amazed and enthralled by your craftsmanship. Now, I have an proposition. How much would you charge to make me a similar dress? I work at a Renaissance Festival in Oklahoma, and I play the part of the caretaker of the peacocks that are on the grounds. This would be a perfect dress for the Masked Ball we hold.

$350?

If you'd buy it from a seamstress, I'd imagine it'd cost you some $1600-3000, easily.
The price here seems to be the material costs. I'd like to know the working hours that went into the gown in stead, that defines quite a bit better what it'd cost when sold.

Great job. Personally i think it would have looked better in an Elizabethan style (ruffs were common then), but still amazing

I love the details in this so much- especially the tiny knife pleats at the bottom of the under skirt and how sharp the folds in the over skirt are. Just beautiful work, you deserve the attention it's gotten!

Actually male peacocks shed and re-grow their tail feathers each year. I bought all my feathers online.
