Victorian Tailoring

Sharing for all the great les mis cosplayers I now know from expo: Andrew at Victorian Tailoring is currently making an 1830s outfit (Including drop front trousers at some point which my dash exploded with yesterday – so I may tag eddie in this but I don’t know if that’ll be weird). He’s done shirt and underwear so far.

He does great photos of details and process (and does walkthroughs sometimes). Some of the other victorian era stuff on there is relivent also, and he’s done some regency stuff (also with fall fronted trousers acctually).

Home now

Got back from MCM late last night, after a great weekend at expo.

Les Mis meet was great, first time I’ve cosplayed something popular enough to have a meet and everyone was brilliant both in costume and generally being awesome people, hope it happens again in october! (or earlier, if any of you go to any other conventions…paticularly jcon or alcon as they are about 30mins from me so I will probably go this year)

plus new people to stalk on here (I’ve followed a bunch of you, though I’m not entirely convinced I’ve put all the right names to faces yet, got some bits of paper with tumblrs written on to find as well) and in real life (as some of you live in/nearish nottingham so you aren’t getting rid of me)

Could deffinatel get used to having Enjolras yelled to get my attention (saw a very excited and very good jack frost cosplayer that way and I think some supernatural people? sorry I’m not far enough into the series to know if that’s correct – saw loads of other great cosplays this year too)

It was insainly busy (particularly saturday) but got some freebies and paid for stuff (urgh..money) and some presents for people (so if you know me in real life be vaguely excited…which is ust tasha i think as my sister wont tell me her blog)

A group which bearly missed becoming historic

line of chibi amis de l’abc, will be coloured eventually I promise

Left to right: Enjolras. Combeferre, Courfeyrac, Jehan, Bossuet, Joly, Fueilly, Bahorel, Grantaire

WIP for london expo

Enjolras cosplays I hope to acctually finish for expo weekend, two versions from red and black and do you hear the people sing (I don’t acctually know which to wear or when)

please excuse my odd expressions here, and unfocused look, haven’t put contacts in

The jacket still needs hemming and buttons, as the convention starts the day after my portfolio deadline that’ll probably be done thrusday night

There’s going to be a les mis meet up on the saturday which sounds exciting (still too scared to join the facebook group though)

bonus wig i need to make curly/ do some styling of some sort too (I like the length I imagine Enjolras with longer hair than in the film despite the fact the rest of the outfit is film influenced)

I may have managed to work the french revolution into an architecture essay

I also may have been reading too much victor hugo

incorrectlesmisquotes:

“I am byesexual as in I’m not interested goodbye”

— Enjolras, Book IV

People sometimes ask me if I’m bisexual, I suppose I’m technically equally interested in men and women the amount is just zero. This is probably a comeback that’ll likely get me punched though.

Also this blog is great ^

Starting to think someone on the Doctor Who writing team is a Les Miserables musical fan.

Last week’s episode: All these people, can you hear them singing?

This week’s: There will be a second red planet, red with the blood of ~~angry men~~ humanity

of all the answers to ‘what should I be doing tonight?’ drawing les mis fanart was not really one of them

but here’s a Enjolras, Combeferre and Courfeyrac sketch in ink, they are more book canon than the film I think though there’s some influences from that too
