Captain Nemo always was a very fascinating character for me.
Now here is my female version of him!

The “uniform” consists of a short jacket with long sleeves and a porthole-medal and a kneelength skirt. It looks great with a corset and a captain’s hat ;-)

The Nautlius Leather Bag and the Nautilus-Set are a perfect match for this outfit.

The basic pattern for this costume was a dress-pattern from Burda Style (12/2013).

The skirt is just the lower part of the dress from yoke to bottom without further changes.

The short jacket was the upper part of the dress. I did not change the sleeves, but cut out the front and made it very short to fit over a corset without covering too much of it. The jacket is closed at the front with two buttons.
Last but not least I wanted to give it more of a military look, a bit uniform-like. So I added a stand-up collar and took a little trinket that looks like a porthole and made it with some striped braid into a medal.

Completed: 2014

I wore my Captain Nemo outfit for the first time at the Aethercircus 2014 :-)
