Vampire Queen – Fantasy concept • Amirine

This was an idea from DmvdBerg Photography. He had a concept in mind with a vampire coven based on historical outfits. I have no experience with making historical costumes nor am I comfortable with my costume design skills. But some times it is good to step outside the comfort zone and try new things.

I did find a lovely tiara at the Midwinter Fair 2025 and paired that with the West Witch‘s wig to create the starting point. When I saw the sewing pattern for the cape (S3190), I knew I needed that for this concept. It provides drama with the size and hood, but the ruffles and lace make it more girly. Which is the energy I want my Vampire to have. The dress is based on Symphonic metal (because I suck at historical designs), but with a more posh/sophisticated influence. So lots of lace, ruffles and some gems were needed to create that vibe.

Another important thing for this design is that it should be able to wear all year long. I tackled that by making elements interchangable.
