Padded Jacket The Lion in Winter

Created for the character of prince Geoffrey the middle son of Henry II this jacket was created from old velvet curtains and old donated priests vestments. This garment was a shared creation and one of my classmates Eleanor Birchenough as part of a work experience in which a small group of costume students manufactured the costumes and numerous other courses used their skillsets to create other aspects of the production such as the scenery. the jacket uses eyelets to close shut. overall the jacket was constructed over the course of 2-3 weeks around a regular university course schedule
