Forgotten Vows Friday: Sharp Dressed Victor, Part I: Alice's Wonderland
Okay, so I got a really sweet comment over on AO3 on "Fixing You" at the beginning of the week from messrremuslupin:
I'm finally catching up (and forcing my housemates to read from the beginning and they're loving it btw!) and oh my god, your whole otherland design is so intricately designed and incredible. I definitely have to cosplay one of Victor's wonderland outfits!
The idea that people might want to cosplay some of the outfits I've made for Victor tickles me, so I figured I'd do a few quick posts on them and give some more detail on what they're supposed to look like! (I did do a list ages ago on my website, but I have some updates I want to make along the way, sooo. . .) First up: Victor in Alice's Wonderland!

#forgotten vows friday#forgotten vows verse#sharp dressed man#I may have thought a little too much about all of these#Classic and Steamsuit were the easiest as you might imagine#Classic because it was largely 'make Victor's normal suit blue'#Steamsuit because it was largely 'hey Secundus Victor can I borrow your clothes a sec?'#(how you tell Steamsuit Forgotten and regular old Butterfly Boy from Secundus apart is#the latter has a regular tie and waistcoat in brighter colors and a ragged long coat over it all)#also my original idea for the Eastern Master was a kimono with a shirt and pants underneath#but I looked at that again recently and was like 'eeeeh'#'it's not great and it doesn't really go with Alice's wraparound dress'#fortunately I didn't actually DESCRIBE the damn thing in Fixing You#so I could change it to the somewhat-more-appropriate jacket#I rather like what I came up with for the Village of the Doomed outfit#now I'm tempted to make more of these AMA ones#though I've also got the idea that the Ash Dress should be used for an AMA remake...#thoughts for another post#queued
