costuming I so totally do not need... except...

Hey, [livejournal.com profile] lillibet, if I buy any one of these, can I wear it for The Margaret Ghost? Can I, can I, huh?

... okay, back to work now. X-)

Yeah, I have this black/red velvet military-style coat that I want to wear as Ossoli.
That website is evil, though it only has civilian wear.

Check out recollections.biz too.

Ooh, love the Bristol taffeta suit. *sigh*

[identity profile] chanaleh.livejournal.com 2010-03-23 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Yeah, I could see you in that green. :-)

I was eyeing the tan suits -- this or this -- or maybe the brown one.

Oh, yes, I like the walking suits as well.

Okay, these are probably not sufficiently steampunk for Jethrien to get excited about. Our bank accounts seem safe at the moment.

I take it back. Bugger.

Lies. Everyone needs costumes like these. :)

I love this site. The prices are so reasonable and the quality is good. (Why, of course I've ordered from them, before!)

[identity profile] shayde.livejournal.com 2010-03-23 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So this was related to a post I just made - it's good to hear their stuff is high quality and well priced - I really have nothing to compare them to (I'm not a costumer)

Nice to hear good things about them.

Their stuff is decently good. I've got a couple of waistcoats from them and for the money they're really quite reasonable.

If you want to burn money on men's kit, I can also recommend Sutler's from personal experience. I have yet to actually buy anything from River Junction Trading Co., but they might have potential, too.

Can you tell I think about my neo-Victorian wardrobe way too obsessively?

[identity profile] jehanna.livejournal.com 2010-03-23 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Unpossible. You think about it just obsessively enough. :)

Actually, you'd be entirely welcome to wear something like this. If you want to buy two, I'd even let you wear different ones in the two different acts :)

Nyarrgh!

... Okay, at the moment ONE feels like a possibility but two is VERY unlikely. >:-) Still, we have a month or two to discuss selections!

Well, you could wear a skirt & blouse in Act I and then something more formal in Act III. I'd be more psyched about the more neutrally colored ones, like the Edwardian suit in olive or tan; or the walking suit in brown or Wedgewood floral. Or you could get an outing jacket that would coordinate with your skirt. But y'know, up to you :)

Dammit, those are exactly the four I was eyeing!

Hm, perhaps I'll have to change all my lines about being unattractive to being about being underdressed. :)

I'm not laughing at you, I'm envying you (hypothetically). I want pretty costumes I can't really afford too. :)
