Update: The pattern I want to use for the coat is going to work wonderfully (just made a jacket out of scrap material to make sure it will work before cutting into the real stuff

) the knickerbockers are easy-ish. My main problem right now if finding the 'tiger lily' flowers to put onto the hat.. I need them in either off white or navy blue but will settle for anything and just paint them but so far there is nothing

hat looks nice so far considering. That bustle is going to be the death of me but it will get done and in metal.
So excited, I will probly be debuting this at AAC in November.
