A DOUBLET FIT FOR A PRINCE
"Prince Charming" from Once Upon a Time
PURPOSE:
Cosplay for Anime North convention in Toronto
MATERIALS USED:
Suede, broadcloth, marine vinyl, secondhand leather pants, lacing, 200 eyelets
 The original costume from ABC's Once Upon a Time, as worn by Josh Dallas. |  The finished cosplay, complete with doublet, shirt, riding pants, boots, and a hand-made leather sheath. |  The first body block (left) was altered and used to create the first mockup (right), which follows the same style lines as the finished cosplay. |
|---|---|---|
 The mockup for the doublet, sewn together to test the fit. |  Riding pants were created by sewing together two pairs of secondhand pants, and adding a laced-up closure at the left hip. |  A Regency-era pattern was used to create this billowing shirt, complete with underarm gores and a front placket. Threads were pulled from the fabric to create the frayed trim at the collar. |
 |  Approximately 200 eyelets were used in the costume, as the six torso pieces are laced together at the front, back and sides. The shoulder pieces create the illusion of a broader frame (very helpful when one is trying to look like Josh Dallas!) |  |
