For the bride that looked as ELEGANT as Morticia Addams on her wedding day! Corseted under layers, tendrils of lace, and a sardonyx heart on the back. #addamsfamily #gothicwedding

I ADORED creating this custom #vorinhavah gown with embroidered details, based on the bestselling book series by Brandon Sanderson. Pleated petticoat, a side-buttoning dress, and a belt to pull it all together. #stormlightarchives

🖤❤️🖤Gothic Corset Tux🖤❤️🖤 Mismatching complementary textures and fabrics brought together to create an exciting visual feast. Ghosts and lost spirits trail up the back from a set of tarot cards, framed by constellations hand painted and accented with Swarovski crystals. Halloween weddings are some of my favorites! This is a corseted vest with flexible boning. Perfect for a trans-masc client that doesn’t want to chest bind the day of their wedding, but still wants the masculine silhouette! #menscorset #halloweenwedding #gothicwedding

🖤❤️The Vampire Queen❤️🖤 Dark and gothic, this mermaid style gown drips with elegance and lace. 3D floral lace makes it look like they leave black roses in their wake. This is the first time in a long time I created a dress that relies on a fit so perfect, it zips up the back instead of lacing up like a corset. We hid the zipper head with a bird skull pendant, one that matched their partners outfit! #vampire #gothicwedding #kcweddings #customclothing #bespokeweddingdress

🦚💜💙DND Reversible Coat (+outfit)🤎🖤🍂 What an incredible outfit! A DND character with a sort of charismatic flamboyance, + a REVERSIBLE coat that can suddenly blend right in with the townsfolk when need be. Quick and ready to take care of business… or pleasure. We used quite a bit of peacock iconography, bringing in this fun brightness with a classic elegance. THANK YOU @allesanderarneson for this AMAZING commission. I adore it when I can collaborate with my clients on something they are already passionate about! #dndcosplay #renfairecostume #peacockcostume

🪻Lilac Flower Girl Dress🪻 Love this little lady… with a waterfall of pastel purple and icing white, I’m sure the flower girl will feel like a princess. Handmade with chiffon layers and a satin base, a zipper in the back to make it easy to slip off when they get overstimulated. I’m sure there are so many other events this dress could be used for as well! #madeinkc #flowergirl #bespokewedding #kansascitywedding

✂️⭐️Pattern-Drafting, meet 21st Century ⭐️📸 Playing around with using a short-throw projector in the cutting process! It will make it easier to find and store patterns, saving space and time in the long run. I’m excited to see this start to enter production shops. ✨ Inspired by the @dittopatterns machine, but I DESPISE that after buying a $800 projector, you have to use THEIR patterns and/or subscribe to their software, and cannot draft your own or install PDF patterns you have already bought. Solution? I spent an afternoon mounting my own projector and calibrating my tablet. Voila! ✨✨⭐️ Pattern is Janet Arnold. #patterndrafting #tailoring

🖤🕷️Satanic Trenchcoat🕷️🖤 This client gave me full creative liberties, giving me a few pieces of information in our short interview: ~Make the details pointed, enough for a double-take ~Not enough to be kicked out of an establishment So here it is. Wool coat lined in red and black dual-weave taffeta, vinyl alchemical symbols along the hem, with a skull and St. Peter’s cross at the front, Raven on each side. Enough to say dark and gothic while still being a perfect addition to both every-day Winter wear and also perfect for dressing up come Spring. Dark secrets have never looked so tailor-made! #nightmares #gothicfashion #tailormade #tst #satanic

🐊⚓️🪝Why not be Lady AND Captain??🪝⚓️🐊 . This #CaptainHook gown was one of my favorite projects recently! Covered in lovely details of soutacheing, jewelry tassels, crystals, and even a custom Spanish Galleon sailing upon the train, with the second star to the right shining brightly above. This was such a fun collaboration from start to finish! . With custom fit, this charming Hook will be comfortable all night long at the @planetfaeball in Kansas City! #faeball #peterpan #custommade #madeinkc #bespokefashion

Ever wonder what goes on under all those layers??? This is classic 1850’s undergarments. The upper classes would often have higher quality materials and lace and embroidery, while even working class women might have added unique embroidery. . First, the drawers. These are linen pants and were often split at the crotch for ease of bathroom access. Second, a chemise. Basically a linen slip that wicks away sweat and keeps the outer garment clean for longer. *here is where the corset would go, my client decided to forgo it* Third, a chorded/quilted petticoat. This stiffens the skirts away from the lady and makes it easier to walk around and do chores… just ask the ladies at #missouritown1855 ! Fourth, the petticoat. This could be starched to make it stiffer, or multiple layers could be added to enlarge the silhouette. Finally, the outer dress. She’ll have her own post!

🌟🎪🐘 Showman’s Circus Vest 🐘🎪🌟 . A personal project from a WHILE back, this grandmaster vest is neat and dear to my heart. With a cotton lining printed with old world tattoo designs, it really makes a statement! If you look closely at the back soutaching design, do you notice the front-facing elephant? ✨ Inspired by the military vests, circuses in history were often a military in their own right; for example, did you know that the common "clown" music is the orchestra piece Entry of the Gladiators, Op. 68 and was meant as a military march? (Look it up!)

🔮💫Space Gothic Wedding Dress!💫🔮 . Here it is… my wife’s dreams come to life! Over 30 thousand Swarovski crystals sparkle like stars on the soft chiffon skirt, and the layers of organza give the most ✨magical✨ galaxy-like effect~ Bodice tailored to her exact measurements, pure comfort throughout the entire night. . #alternativewedding #madeinkc #gothwedding #customweddingdress

✨❄️Cape of a Golden Winter ❄️✨ . Three layers of warm fleece and tapestry cloth, details of rhinestones and fur turn this cape into a glorious regal-fantasy outerwear. Simple and elegant~ . #capelet #customclothing #bespoketailoring #fantasyfashion

🐿️🍂Eccentric Academic Overcoat 🍂🦌 . Curtains to Coat, this piece is inspired by a multitude of things including Eastern European in the 19th century, traditional tailoring techniques, and stage costuming. . With the tassel elements, it takes a stagnant tailored coat to a place of playful movement. Perfect for a night at the symphony, or just taking the dog out. Layers of wool padded underneath make it retain your body’s warmth. . Personally, my favorite element is the book pocket. Every long coat needs a place for your notebook or current re-read!!📚 . Christmas gift for my sister ❤️ #funfashion #darkacademiafashion #tailored

The groom can dress up, too! 😘✨🥀 . YES, this is what I wore for my wedding! So comfortable and formal at the same time! Hand embroidered belt, little touches of personality all over the train of the overcoat, and Monet print trousers. . #wedding #groomoutfit #mensfashion #fantasy #dream #sleeveless

Fantastical Druid Archer, prowess to evade and smite her enemies. Designed for @tipsybardkc ! Check them out for all your TTRPG events. 📸 @figtreekc ⭐️ @nelliemapleparman

🌷💫Fairytale Gown💫🌷 An ethereal wedding dress for a dear friend! Blush undertones with an ombré from the hem, layers of shimmering lace and organza, and airbrushed lace on power-mesh sleeves. 🥂Enjoy!

🌟Ceremonial Robe 🌟 . In addition, the officiant of the same wedding party ordered a very elegant Monk’s Robe to match. Cheers!! 🥂 . Black Linen from @fabricsstorecom Tuscan Olive silk from @silkbaron . #renaissance #historicallyinspired #middleages

Groomsmen/Bridesmaids, Viking inspired . I had the pleasure of making three sets of bridesmaids/groomsmen attire for a viking themed wedding! The bride selected the colors and the exact style she wanted, and I made her dreams come to life. ✨ . Linen: fabrics-store in color “Marzipan” Silk: SilkBaron in color “Tuscan Olive” . #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #vikingwedding #paganwedding #alternativewedding

All good changes, I promise! . In the coming months, you’ll see a shift in the direction I am going with this business. . Firstly, I will not be focusing as much with the storefront. I will be by appointment only, with a few exceptions (third Friday, private events, etc) Second, I am focusing less on being a retail store. I love selling the earrings and moth pins and other small things, but everything is custom-made and I want to give people the opportunity to create something INCREDIBLE with me for each occasion. . TL;DR: I am becoming a commission shop working one-on-one with incredible clients like you ❤️ . Thank you for all your love and support as I continue to build incredible dreams ✨

Yet ANOTHER corset! 😮‍💨💙✨ Love this one so much. . According to multiple clients, this period in corsetry is one of the most comfortable, especially for plus size individuals (and especially when it’s tailor-made to fit!) . I used @redthreaded ‘s pattern as a base and tailored it to fit my beautiful client! Ft. @silkbaron Comet Tail Dupioni 🤤 (been using y’all a LOT lately!)

Commissions for the Summer and Fall have filled up FAST! Have you been interested in commissioning a one-of-a-kind garment from Ezra October? …Do you want it by the end of 2023? Contact me ASAP as slots are filling up quick! I’m happy to work with you and figure out exactly what you want. . Because of the sudden excitement, my designs for Gemini are going to be posted next weekend or later. I don’t want to ditch the zodiac collection, but I also don’t want to overwhelm myself! Thank you for understanding 🥰

Yet ANOTHER mid 19th century corset! It’s so much fun to make these, tailor fitted in length and shape to the client’s measurements. This will be worn out at @jacksoncountyparks Missouri Town Living History Museum! . The silks are from @silkbaron in colors Tuscan Olive and Abyss. . #victorian #1800s #victorianfashion #corset #civilwar

Mid-19th century chemise, a joint gift I made for an incredible mentor in living history. Lightweight linen with the most delicate pin-tucks, a bit of embroidery on the back to remind her how incredible she is, and French seams for ultimate comfort. This is the bottom-most layer of the Victorian woman’s wardrobe.

Another member of the Taurus collection, the Tardigrade Vest! The resilient Tardigrade lives comfortably in the moss, surviving fire and floods and even outer space. They pioneer new ecosystems, but also lead simple lives. Wrapping around the body and buttoning at the side, practical and fashionable; The best of both worlds, just like our microscopic friends. #englishcorduroy #vest #corduroy #cottagecore

As part of the Taurus collection, I’m proud to announce the Charlotte Chemise Dress… based off the undergarments of high class ladies all the way to the housekeepers. Drapes off the shoulder with an adjustable neckline and short sleeves. Any color available, as always 😘 check it out at ezraoctober.com

We love a good pair of stays…I used synthetic whalebone in this lovely creature for @misscaseycatastrophe for the upcoming #vampireball ! She wanted the closure in the front to make it easier to take off, and I kinda love the look of it! Front closing busks weren’t patented until the 1800s, so these lovely 1780s stays would probably have laced down the front as well as the back. Still, we are in the 21st century, and when you’re coming home from an event and just wanna get your dang costume off, a front closing busk is a GODSEND. 100% silk, as well 😘 🤤

It's OFFICIAL! Check the new Aries collection out on EzraOctober.com!

A ✨personal project✨ Expressing to my mother that I want to make a quilt coat and asking if she has any lying around instead of buying one at the thrift store, she produces a handsewn quilt made by her great grandmother. The fabric on it is scraps from the dresses she made for her daughters. I was so scared to cut it up, but it would have continued to sit in a closet collecting dust. I gave it another life, and it feels like a hug from my ancestors every morning. I didn’t throw away a single scrap and made my mother a little pillow of one of the flowers, stuffing it with all the excess scrap. I’m in love with it ❤️💕 #quilt #quiltcoat #ancestorwork #upcycling

I just designed a new pattern! Who’s excited for the next zodiac mini-collection?? ♓️🐟🐚🌊🧜

Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos is a lovely song that has been trending over on the clock app, specifically among the neurodivergent and queer. Basically, me. Thought I would play around with the archetypes and what each of them would wear.. So, which are you? Soldier, Poet, or King? #theohhellos #soldierpoetking #queerowned

When I say ANYTHING you can dream I can bring to life… I mean it! This is a Satanic Cassock for a local #thesatanictemple member that wanted a fancy piece for officiating weddings! It’s made of 100% silk, and decorated with vinyl symbols to represent the TST. The collar ruffle is removable, and everything else is one piece so it’s easier to slip it on and not worry about losing pieces. . I’m gonna cheat with #jantober2023 because I’m a bit behind, and do this as both #black and #horroryouneversawcoming (because I feel like this might be a divisive piece for some of y’all 😘)

Intention is everything! . I put love into all my commissions, and for many of my clients, I offer to instill intention into their pieces. Confidence, protection, peace, and grounding are the most common requests I get! . No one sees the inside, lining covers it. I send pictures to the client, and they love their little secret! I wonder what a altering shop will see years from now that I have made… . #jantober2023 #witchybusiness

Nostalgia for this gorgeous creation I made back in 2021, I was doing the Greek Deity Challenge and was trying to make historical women’s garments based on different gods and goddesses from the Greek pantheon. . This one is Hades. I imagine the god of the dead as well-tailored, and immediately the structure of the #1880s came to mind. Dark with hints of rich blue, indicating both the hottest hot and coldest cold of the underworld. (You could also argue it was related to Disney’s Hercules, when in reality it was probably Lore Olympus.) . Excited to participate in #jantober2023 hosted by @workingsquirrel !

Took up knitting again to make myself some gloves! The process was so fun and helped soothe my adhd. Thank you @michaelstolzle and @jacintheattic for getting me back into knitting with your outstanding crochet works!! This it 100% wool yarn, meaning I can wear them as an interpreter at #missouritown1855 🥰

The Cordelia is designed after the “puff sleeved dress” from #anneofgreengables and is made to look Edwardian. Perfect for #historybounding out to the grocery store! Made of medium weight linen and comes in black or antique white.

I am a Magician ✨ . Tailor, dressmaker, crafter, designer, dreamer, and artist can all be summed up in one title: magician. I bring dreams to life and confidence to my clients that was there all along, waiting to emerge. Thank you for those who have entrusted me with bringing your ideas and dreams to life, it is my pleasure to serve you. . All my love to the #phantomwisetarot made by fellow magician @erinmorgenstern , you inspire my creations more than you will ever know.

One of my favorite parts is coming up with the names for my pieces… I love instilling the sense of wonder into my clothes, like the stargazer shirt. I have some gorgeous wool skirts for the fashion show, and they are the only ones tripping me up when it comes to a name. This classy, a-line wool skirt buttons on either side with bee embellished buttons, and comes down to about tea length on many. What would you name it? I have a few that have been buzzing around my head… 🐝 “The Menagerie Skirt” “The Library Skirt” “The Orchard Skirt”

Happy Father’s Day to those who celebrate! I want to take a moment to thank my dad, the man who took a look at me after I had my first panic attack in preschool and decided he would be the one to teach me, to let me learn at my own pace and taught me to have unending curiosity.

Thank you, dad, for loving me for who I am ❤️❤️✨

Join me this Saturday at the Darkwood House Gallery as I unveil my Spring/Summer 2022 collection titled “The Modern Witch”. It’s a gorgeous collection of flax linen that is perfectly breathable and comfortable. As always; sustainable, accessible, and luxurious. Sizes rage from 2XS to 6XL, but if none of that fits, I will gladly make it in your size. #cottagecore #goblincore #transfashion #sustainablefashion

April 9th at The Darkwood House! Mark your calendars, and join us at 7pm for the Ezra October Spring collection fashion show. Doors will open at 6:30 🖤🖤 . Items will be available for sale after the show! Come and enjoy an evening of fun.

Ezraoctober.com is official! While it still is a work in progress (mostly being the inventory not being stocked), I finally have a cohesive website! You can find my portfolio, contact info, and complete inventory of items. I will still post products to Etsy, don’t worry about that going away!
