Victorian
Gentleman
Since
the Dickens Festival is by no means an authentic one,
I decided to go for a Generic Victorian look for my
partner's outfit. The top hat and tail coat are actually
19th century ones and were borrowed from our friends.
He
is wearing an 18th century(ish) shirt which I picked
up quite a few years back on the Re-enactor's Market,
a pair of drop fronted and buttoned trousers that
I made from fine wool with a Simplicity pattern and
a waistcoat that I made from the same pattern. All
fabrics had been in my stash, same as the buttons,
and I was happy to use them. The spectacles are genuine
19th century ones that I had fitted with window glass
and the gloves are early 20th century.
