Well then its a good thing I brought it up. Thank you gentlemen.

I quite agree with everyone else. The waistcoat and hat are just smashing! Very handsome, Mr. West.

I was wondering where this thread went, and now I have found it again.
Good to see such smashing outfits.

Well, heres my attempt (sorry for the poor photo quality).

I've never had much success with dressing up and thought about starting a new thread asking for advice, as I'm not sure if the outfit 'works' or if I just look silly. So any tips or suggestions from the experts would be most welcome. Just about everything is replacable except the vest. It was a present and I doubt I could afford a new one.

First try eh? Nice job!

I'll add a few additional accessories later. The cravat is also just a scrap of cloth until I can order a proper one.

I'm not sure if this, being cosplay, is all right, but it has a frock coat and cravat, so here I am as Roderich Edelstein, anthropomorphic personification of Austria, from Hetalia.

OswaldBastable · « **Reply #79 on:** April 04, 2012, 01:43:07 am »

Well thats is a lovely smart outfit, so it certainly belongs here

Uncle Arthur · « **Reply #80 on:** April 04, 2012, 02:31:29 am »

Looking VERY classy!

Herbert West · « **Reply #81 on:** April 04, 2012, 03:23:23 am »

Simple, yet elegant. Well done!

Velkan · « **Reply #82 on:** April 04, 2012, 09:16:00 am »

You look fantastic! it never occured to me to use Hetalia as an inspirational piece (as if i need another excuse to watch it again)

Mad Maudlin · « **Reply #83 on:** April 05, 2012, 12:27:49 am »

Hey, it spans history, why not go into alternate? I've seen some amazing fanart.
Same coat, same Maudlin, decidedly different underthings and accessories: Maudlin et un beau soldat au Exposition Mondiale du Vapeur 2011.

Velkan and Sevenlies. Looking SHARP!!

Summery outfit down by the railway line - trousers are a thin linen, linen shirt with wing collar, tropical weight wool frock coat, silk cravat, silk waistcoat.

sevenlies · « **Reply #88 on:** April 08, 2012, 02:28:41 pm »

Very nice, Mr. Pete! I've been trying to create more of a summer-weight outfit as well - difficult to do with corsets, though.

If I'm not mistaken, that is a reproduction of Lucius Malfoy's Wand Cane.

Yes it is Lucius Malfoys Cane although when i brought it through the Airport the security never even gave it a single look and yet the fangs on it are rather sharp and could easily cause severe damage if i were so inclined

Excellent work everybody. I'm following this one for a while until I get an outfit picture to go up here.

Quite stunning everyone. My compliments.

Is this the Empires version of Abe Lincon with a Gatling Gun Arm? Queen Victoria with a BGF

Awesome job! Have fun at the Exhibition; I'm hoping to make it to the next one (assuming there is a next one!).
