Jareth The Goblin King: Dark Armor Tutorial for 70+ BJD
FINAL LOOK
This Jareth the Goblin King’s dark armor has been created in 1:3 scale for a 70cm BJD. I hope the tutorial below is helpful to those who wish to recreate the outfit for their doll or themselves.
PREFACE
When approaching Jareth’s costume design, it’s essential to understand that he is a monster. He steals human infants. He probably eats them too, which should explain all the human bones present in his garment. Also, goblin craftsmanship is not the most elegant, there always will be a degree of crudeness to his look. That said, Jareth is a fey of royal standing, so he will have luxurious elements to his outfit, with especial attention to armor.
REFERENCE
Since in the movie Jareth changes clothes more often than a Bollywood star, I started by choosing the outfit. I’ll admit, I hoped to cheat by using the action figure as a reference, expecting it to be an authentic replica. I was wrong. The figurine, although very well made, has some principal inaccuracies in the design of the chest piece and the cape. Since Jareth’s cuirass is the centerpiece of the outfit, I believe it’s very important not to follow the initially incorrect design of the action figure, like many cosplayers do, but rather refer to the film itself.
The problem is, the scene of Jareth appearing to Sarah in his regal armor is very dark, so the costume is hardly visible even in the HD version of the film. The only other scene displaying this outfit is the “You have 13 Hours…” dialogue before Sarah enters the Labyrinth. The lighting is much better there, but, again, there is no clear full body shot. I was lucky to find some promotional photographs from the press kit which features both characters in focus, with enough details to use for reference.
CUIRASS
The cuirass was sculpted out of pewter Sculpey, but any polymer clay will do, because it has to be painted black for the final look anyway. I painted it with acrylics, adding some blue and purple shimmer to the edges for definition. I specifically tried to achieve an organic look and feel to the armor, as if the goblins crafted it out of some monstrous insect shell.
This chest piece is sized to fit a Dollshe DSAM, but it fits a Hound as well.
CLOAK
In the film, the cape consists of two pieces of fabric: the inner shimmery blue material and the outer dark ripped material. For the inner part, I used an royal blue lamé, which I crinkled by hand to add texture. For the outer part, I wanted a fabric with an organic, uneven texture, but I couldn’t find exactly the right kind, so I had to resort to making one myself. I found a triple-layered Italian silk chiffon in warm off-black, where top and bottom layers are hammered, and the middle layer is plain, and carefully cut holes in the top layer, fraying the edges of the holes. Then I applied streaks of metallic cobalt paint, which added color and dimension to already complex texture of the cape.
The shoulder piece and the collar are made of black and dark-brown leather of different textures. To keep the shape of the collar, I inserted a piece of steel wire into a woven ribbon, and glued it to the back of the collar with Aileen’s fabric glue. Same ribbons decorate the front of the collar.
The bones were sculpted out of Sculpey, and gently aged with acrylic paint. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions when baking your polymer clay!
DOUBLET
The doublet is sewn out of glove-quality leather (a recycled skirt), bottom edge folded and trimmed using Aileen’s fabric glue for structure. The closure is a self-adhesive black Velcro strip. Cuff trim is painted with metallic acrylic.

I apologize for the invading shampoo and hairdryer, haha :)
Here she is! Her name is Cassidy and she loves walking in the rain and listening to her music through her ooak steam punk headphones, handcrafted by yours truly! She needs a proper photo shoot, and then she’ll be ready to purchase. :3 She goes up on New Year’s Day!

These are the Monster High repaints I currently have for sale! I’d prefer to sell them through tumblr than to have to fuss with Etsy’s nonsense, thus this somewhat feelers-y post!
All the info (links to more photos, prices, etc) is under this read more so I can edit it without it getting lost in reblogs, so if you’re interested in these, this is the place to check!
If you want to look at my other dolls or perhaps see stray photos of these dolls, check this tag. Thanks for looking~!
