Emily Snee | 1830s, but make it spooky 👻 Designing a Jack Skellington/Gentleman Jack cosplay MASHUP! @EmilySnee | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 19 minutes ago.
Designing a costume that’s Jack Skellington meets Gentleman Jack was SO much fun! I learned so much about 19th century fashion, 19th century men’s fashion in particular and was THRILLED to find actual tailoring guides from the late Regency/early Victorian period to read over and glean some garment construction wisdom from!
If you’d want to make this concept into a reality then you can head over to ko-fi.com/emilysnee and throw whatever is affordable for you in the pot - and thank you so much. The support and help means SO MUCH to me!!
