Fathers and Sons

Match 5

King Arthur, Camelot (Broadway, 1960)

VS.

Mordred, Camelot (Broadway, 1960)

These Father-Son Matchups are not part of Tournament Proper. They are one-off 24 hour Matchups purely for fun while we get the next Round of the Tournament set up.

Requested by @luanna801

We wouldn't normally accept Broadway casts, but since this isn't part of the actual tournament and this is just for fun we can be a little loosey-goosey with it.

A mix of my two historical favs<3

I accidentally made his hair part on the wrong side bc the image I was referencing was flipped �� I tried to fix it in the other version but it doesn’t look as much like him :( the hand is also wrong so I might re-do it eventually and add a simple background of the Oval Office

TWO PRETTY GOWNS FROM THE KENNEDY ERA - AMERICA WAS DEEP INTO THE CAMELOT DREAM

These dresses are very similarly designed, from right around a couple of years either side of 1960. Although they both reflect the New Look changeover which had begun 10 years before, the most notable thing about the style on the left is the shoulder tails. These had been popular on dresses in the 1930’s and earlier, I believe, but made another appearance right around this time. That element…
