Costume Notes:
The only pieces I mad for this costume are the skirt, bustle and jewelry. The corset I'm wearing is a Victorian underbust from Brute Force Studios , the corset was my primary inspiration for the outfit since I wanted something to wear it with.

While I was fabric shopping I came across the fun plaid which I decided I HAD to use for my bustle. I found a great Youtube video on how to make a bustle, I made some slight alterations but overall found it SOO helpful.

My skirt is made out of a a brown and cream textured cotton. The skirt is teared in four sections, the top is made with a slight A-line and the bottom 3 tears are gathered. Under the skirt is a bridal petticoat which I've had sitting in my back of my closet for years, I was glad to finally be able to use it.

The green shirt is from my wardrobe and the pinafore necklace is made by me. The fur jacket is a vintage 1930's piece that used to belong to my grandmother, it is real fur and very nice and warm to wear. My original plan was to make a pair of white/cream lace gloves but after looking at everything together the lace gloves were a little much, so I decided to use a pair of black leather driving gloves.
For headgear I decided I wanted a quintessential Scottish hat, so I went on the hunt through vintage and military stores looking for Balmoral Bonnets, Tam's and Glengarrys. I found some lovely military Glengarrys which were unfortunately out of my price range so I settled for an adorable smaller version.

Vintage is always a good look, and it's interesting how the costume came about.

I love the combination of all these colors~ I especially love the bustle!
If the cuffs of the gloves were shorter like "palm length" (somehting like this [link]) it could be veeeery nice (I rarely have good fashion ideas so when I get one I just have to say it ._.)

Thanks!
I actually had a pair of shorter leather gloves I was planning on using but was only able to find one while digging it out of winter storage. So these were my fall back pair. I actually want to try and find a pair of mini gloves/finger gloves (not sure what their real name is)[link]
