photos: frock coat

[amezri]

Had a few lighting issues today, but I couldn't be bothered to reshoot, so... sorry if these are dark. They're sort of preliminary anyway since I don't have the skirt that goes with the costume yet.

Anyway. So, this is going to be kinda-sorta gothic lolita-like Hogwarts uniform. I'm not sure if this works at all. The new frock coat, of course, came from Pendragon Costumes, the shirt I won on eBay and the skirt was something I already had. The socks are uniform knee-highs from Alivan's (even though you can't really see the house stripes), as is the wand. All right.. it's not very gothloli at all isn't it? Eh. I guess it's just a weird, modified Hogwarts uniform.











In any case, the frock coat is awesome and the added side seam pockets are perfect.

I agree the frock coat is made of awesomeness. I especially like the sleeves and the trim. And I like the bracelet with the red stone, and the silver rings--they go with the costume. The boots rock, as does the skirt. I like the ruffles at the bottom of the skirt, but y'know what? I think it would be even cooler with more "lift" to it. maybe petticoats underneath the skirt? not an outrageous amount, but enough to emphasize the flair of the frock coat riding on top of it all...

Thanks! I really love the work Nicole did this time. The trim was a pain to pick up, but I'm happy with the final choice.

The charcoal grey skirt queenmaab is making for me will have a very full petticoat underneath :)

The added 'poof' would also make it more gothloli. :)

And now I'm on that site putting together my Ren Faire costume which I won't be able to afford this year anyhow. LOL.

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Yeah... expensive stuff, but the quality is really nice.

Isn't it?! Was totally worth it. Now that I look at it again, it's really more Pirate!Hogwarts than GothLili!Hogwarts...

Thank you! ^^ I really love this coat... I want it to be warmer so I can wear it out.

The ruffles give you enough to make it gothloli. I adore the coat!

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) A ruffled/lace skirt is in the works.
