The Secret Chapter

The Secret Chapter (by Eric Aisling)
The first idea for this costume actually came when I was at the Anno 1900 Steampunk Convention Luxembourg in 2022 and bought one of the beautiful paper flower brooches from Fée avec Amour. The flower was actually supposed to be part of the costume, but then I sewed fabric flowers instead ;-)

The transition from the paper flower made of newspaper to the script fabric was seamless because I had had my eye on this fabric for a long time.

As the costume slowly took shape, I kept thinking about Genevieve Cogman’s Invisible Library books. Hence the name “The Secret Chapter” after book 6 of this series.

As accessories there are the Secret Chapter Wrist Warmers, the Secret Chapter Bag and of course a Secret Chapter Hat.
