Historically Inspired Costuming: Demelza from Poldark

I love the color palette of Demelza’s clothes on the first couple of seasons of Poldark. I appreciate the show as a rare one that shows a long term relationship more or less thriving through ups and downs.

This will likely be the first of a series of posts (with a long break between each one, because sewing historical costumes takes FOREVER.) where I share my progress making a Demelza-inspired costume. I’m taking inspiration from the color palette of Demelza’s costumes from the show to make a costume or some mix and match pieces that will be as historically accurate and similar to the show as my time and knowledge allow.
