Snape Costume

May 7th, 2009 by admin

This Severus Snape costume is modeled by Jonathan Castile.  Three part, shirt, tunic and robe.  My first cloth buttons-good times.

UPDATE!

Thank you to everyone who is interested in my costumes, patterns, and tutorials.  I have been overwhelmed by your compliments and support.  I have to admit, that though the interest is there, it may not be feasible for me to make the patterns or do commissions.  You see, I am directing a movie.  Costuming has always been a bit of a hobby for me, and initially in my directing career I was unable to pay someone else to do the costumes, and thus had to do them myself.  Which led to the survival job of commissions, which led to recreations of costumes from movies, to wit, my lovely Bellatrix costume and the Snape costume.  I had no idea posting this costume on line would get so many fans.  I must admit I am pleasantly surprised and humbled by your support.  Perhaps as time passes and more interest develops I can do a tutorial for the cloak if not a pattern.  But, right now my time is for my feature film project, which I am so excited about.  It’s called Surely You Jest, an epic fantasy adventure!  There’s romance, wit, adventure, and a bit of dark magic.  Sounds like fun huh?  I think so.  For those of you who follow my crazy adventures and have not yet checked it out here is the website,  www.surelyyoujestthemovie.com.  If you are a potterhead it should be your type of project.  I wish you all well.  Happy creating.

    I made these costumes as samples for a store called Whimsic Alley in Santa Monica, CA. I think they may even sell online. Good luck!

    Very beautiful work. I am interested in creating myself a Snape costume for this Halloween season, but because there is very little information available on the web concerning this character’s costume, I would like to know if you made the patterns yourself, or did you use modified modern patterns? Any guidance you can give will be appreciated!

    Uhhhh, any chance of making another one :D ?

    Hello, i know many have already asked this, but is there anyway i may purchase a smaller Snape costume? I am only 5 feet tall, and i am having difficulty not only finding a Snape costume i can fit in, but in finding one on sale at all.

    If you cannot, is there anyone you can refer me to for my problem?

    Thank you,

    Bellatrix’s costume is staggeringly beautiful. I am impressed (and I am so rarely impressed!)

    Thanks

    If there is any way you could make a severus snape costume to purchase for like $50 – $60 that would be great! If you can’t… oh well :)
    About five feet would be good for the measurements.
    Let me know at kollinhardy@yahoo.com!

    Sorry, if I do make them it’s for quite a bit more. 60 dollars doesn’t even cover the price of materials, let alone my time. Good luck in your hunt. I wish you the best.
