My brother gave me the photos from last weekend so here’s the new Count D costume. ^_^ It doesn’t really show in the photo but there’s a leafy pattern with metallic gold threads woven into the coat fabric and it has a soft golden shimmer to it in person. I like that I came out looking suitably pale in the first few. My brother was jokingly asking me that morning if was sick because of the pale makeup. :-P








Here’s the back of the coat. If I do a tailcoat again, I think I won’t have the tails taper next time since the split in the back seems a bit wide. ^_^; Might go back and redo the seam in the back of the skirt since it looks kind of puckered.





Is it just me or do I look like I could have just been Photoshopped into this pic? XD;



We also took a few pictures with the tropical foliage in the conservatory. It turned out to be too crowded in there to do much unfortunately. And the front pic makes me think I should try getting a new binding thingy but I don’t know if it would help much with my huge ribs. >_>;





And if anyone cares to read… silly little PSOH drabble that I wrote the other day.

Thank you. :-) I improvised the back of the coat a bit since the tails seemed to keep magically changing shape in the artwork! And it's always nice to visit the botanic garden when the blossoms are out. ^_^
