Description

Chris (~kellin) and myself in our Victorian Riding costumes, from the manga xxxHolic. He is Watanuki, and I am Yuuko.

Not the best picture, but a good one showing the whole way I have to carry myself wearing this outfit, and kind of cute, too.

I created all the pieces of these costumes, many without the aide of a pattern. The pieces include:
Watanuki
+ Jacket: black cotton velvet, fully lined double breasted
+ Shirt: off white cotton with gold ribbon detailing
+ Pants: tan microfiber fall front trousers
+ Boots: purchased
+ Top hat: purchased and modified
+ Wig: purchased and styled
Yuuko
+ Corset: underneath, not visible, but fully steel boned and shaping
+ Shirt: off white cotton with gold ribbon detailing
+ Jacket: black and red cotton velvet, fully lined; pattern fully from scratch
+ Bustle with train support: from a pattern, steel hoop boning bustle for support
+ Underskirt: off white cotton with gold ribbon detailing, with 50+ yards of ruffles
+ Overskirt: black cotton velvet, 7 yards cartridge pleated into waistband
+ Bustle poof: off white cotton with gold detailing, support system internal to keep it's shape
+ Boots: purchased and modified to fit correctly
+ Parasol: purchased and painted, added ruffles
+ Crop: purchased and handle rewrapped
+ Hat: purchased and decorated
+ Wig: purchased and styled

See my scraps for the work in progress pictures of the costumes.

Photoshoot done on May 28, 2007, in Grant Park in South Milwaukee, WI. Photos taken by my Uncle with his uber camera, but unfortuantely, he's not a very good photographer, so these few pictures were the best I have.
