Here is my replica of Elizabeth Swann's pirate costume from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I made it in a rush so it's not perfectly accurate, nor as well made as I would like. But it was still fun to wear!The vest and shirt:
I used Simplicity 4923 for the shirt and McCall's 2258 for the vest, with a few modifications. I sewed the shirt and vest by machine.
The coat, pants, and "effects":
I used Butterick 3072 for the coat and Simplicity 4923 for the pants. I ordered the buttons for the coat from Jas Townsend & Son Inc. They are both sewn by machine. All the trim on the coat is sewn on by hand. I made the hat out of felt, using McCall's 2258.
A back view of the vest:
I added tabs to the back of the vest to make it more like Elizabeth's I laced it with leather cording.
A back view of the coat:
Even though it was rushed, I had fun wearing it!

I think for the vest I used cotton fabric I had in my stash. Probably not accurate or like the original but it worked for me!
