[ID. Four photos of a white person with glasses and short green hair wearing an 1896 skating outfit. The background is an orange-brown curtain with silhouettes of other people in period sportswear. The outfit is a coat and skirt made from the same very dark blue fabric with white accents. The coat is mid-thigh length and double-breasted, with a full skirt and large pleated leg-of-mutton sleeves. The collar and lapels of the coat are very large, reaching almost to the shoulder seam. There is also a pointed hood on the coat, which is lined with white silk. The hood, collar, lapels, and coat cuffs are all trimmed with white sheepskin. The skirt is long and wide at the hem, with three stripes of white ribbon adding detail. Just visible above the closed coat is the collar of a green bodice with a cameo brooch. In the first photo, the person is standing straight up, facing the camera, and fully visible. Their hands are flexed and held over their hips. In the second photo, they’re in a similar pose but the coat’s hood is up and their eyes are closed as they smile. The second photo is also cropped closer, showing the person just from the knees up. The third photo is cropped even closer, from the hips up. The person is holding one arm out slightly, looking at the shoulder of their sleeve. In the last photo the person is holding the (now detached) hood in one hand, with the other flexed over their hip. They’re leaning to their right slightly, and their head is turned to look that way as well. End ID.]
FINALLY got some nice photos so here is the final product from my historical fashion class. Coat+skirt are based off a description from an 1896 magazine. All self-drafted and constructed over the course of the semester to fit over the undergarments i made in the fall semester
[ID. The same person in the same outfit minus the coat. They’re pulling up the fronts of their skirts to reveal two petticoats, one grey with a red hem, and one red-and-white striped. They’re staring straight at the camera and smirking. End ID.]
