Quick snapshots of the silk sample shown here without the gloves and polonaise. Also, the fichu is not yet stayed to the back of the corset and a band on each arm from which to hang the wings has yet to be applied.
The bat costume sans wings: Finalizing the drape of the skirt polonaise:
My daughter fashioned this little bat in paper and fabric mâché.
Below, you see the corset and polonaise with the wings. This is the stage where I am marking the fichu for fastening it to the wings and corset:
I had my daughter hold the wings up for these shots which was tough due to the constant breeze!
I will start the gloves this week. It has been 6 years since I last sewed this style of glove, so I am taking my good old time. I will be happy to post photos of the process here as I proceed.
I then expect to have good photos made of the entire costume.

Wuaoooooo... es un excelente y muy detallado trabajo. Te felicito por recrear un diseño tan antiguo... I like so much !!! Congratulations.
What an exciting pattern! I would love to see a photo of the entire costume - complete with gloves and wings.
Hello :)
I'm in love with this costume, you did an outstanding job! I wish I had time to make such an amazing costume, I'm so tired of the pre-packaged things people buy now, there is no creativity at all in that!
Now, I swear I'm not trying to spam you, but I couldn't get your email to work, and wanted to share a photo of some 1940s overalls I just made using one of your patterns :)
