Ezio's robes are detailed, layered and all manner of other difficult and time-consuming things. I studied them for a long time, figuring out what goes on what layer and how it would all be worn in the end. Again, I used Mueldex's patterns as a base and modified them as I saw fit.
I mocked them up at first with old bedsheets and scrap fabric, altering them along the way to make them as accurate as possible. Once I'd decided that they looked good, I traced them onto thick fabric and tried them on.
I'm still in the process of refining, hemming and sewing them together. The hood is something that needs a lot of work too... it's really hard to get the shape right and is something that every AC cosplayer knows the pain of (′︿‵｡)
The glove on Ezio's right hand was something I was considering buying, but I couldn't find anything fitting or reasonably priced. So I made my own.
I got an old leather glove, undid the stitching and used the pieces as a pattern. Just to make sure it would fit, and to practice how I would sew it, I made a mockup of it with some spare interfacing.
I only had just enough nice leather to fit all the pieces on, so I had to be careful...
I marked out the holes with a white gel pen and punched them with a seam ripper and a hole piercing thing.
Progress shots...
By now, the only thing left to sew is the outer edge that runs along the pinky.Then I've got to get more leather and make the big cuff.
