Fersen from Rose of Versailles (Takarazuka)

 

HCC has been planning Rose of Versailles costumes since we saw the Takarazuka shows. It’s taken us a while to get to it but we finally finished them for Fanime. I opted to do Fersen instead of Oscar to go with Aimee’s Marie. All I can say is ugh, frock coats are evil! They look spiffy but I never want to line another one again.

I know my boots aren’t very accurate shape-wise, but I had to get boots that gave me at least 4 inches because I am way short compared to Aimee. There are only so many options when you’re trying to cheat your height that much.
