The Misanthrope
I built Èliante's top and pants from patterns I drafted, and draped the overskirt.
Written by Molière
Directed by Kim Braun
Costume Design by Kjerstin Anderson​

This pattern was drafted from the book "Pattern Magic II" by Tomoko Nakamichi. I built the bodice using a stretch cotton material, which required precise manipulation of the bias. I drafted the pants as well, which include an invisible side seam zipper. Finally, I draped the overskirt using a stretchy lace fabric.
