Sherlock Holmes

Menai High School

Laurena Kranepuhl


"'Sherlock Holmes' is a four-piece costume ensemble inspired by Victorian women’s fashion. It features various decorative elements, including sublimation printing and a patchwork lining."

Images of Work

"Using historical guidance, the evolving self-drafted patterns and with the construction of my garment, the evidence of historical accuracy and appeal of my costume to the original Sherlock Holmes character was realised.  I thoroughly researched into Victorian women’s fashion and applied my own creativity to successfully transpose this into a female costume."

"By using sublimation printing I was able to add a creative contemporary flair by incorporating a collage of Sherlockian motifs with the deerstalker hat lining and, as appliqué inside the capelet. Original illustrations from ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ book have been integrated into the skirt hem patchwork."
