costuming meme, from ladycelia

[lobolance]

Costumers all tend to have a specific era or genre that appeals to us aesthetically, which is fine, but sometimes we get too focused and fail to appreciate other eras or genres that might suit our body type,our facial features, or even just challenge us to think outside the box a little bit. So, I'm opening the floor for suggestions: Give me one costume you'd want me to wear, and why. Picture links appreciated. :)

And then spread this meme like SARS and I'll try to do the same for you.

Full Victorian. Pick any class. The louder the plaid the better. A top hat would be most excellent.

Les Incroyables! A man of the French Revolution with a really cool hat, kind of like this gent on the left. Hard to find good pix online, but it was a really interesting (imo) transition era between the foppery of the French court clothes & the stuffy Regency wear. Exaggerated in ways, but 'of the common people' in others.
