Shallow Fashion Coveting: this is entirely the fault of icprncs

[cupcake_goth]

I had no idea this catalog existed until icprncs posted about it, curse her.

Stripey jacket! (clicky-link!) The wrong colors, of course, but good lord, how pretty is that? (Very pretty, and you people know it.)

That's it. I need to find some b&w wide-striped silk, and commission a jacket from one of the many talented designers I know. Then it will be exactly what I want, and I'll be able to stop looking.

(Yesyes, I have the amazing and lovely Cupcake Gothic striped polonaise that kambriel created for me, and I grin and clap my hands every time I look at it. But that is a formal outfit, and I want an everyday striped silk jacket, too.)

(I swear, I do have other stuff to write about than shallow fashion wittering. It's just that the shallow fashion stuff can be written very quickly, while the other topics are things I want to spend some time on.)

that's an amazing find. it's even called the "silk EWARDIAN jacket." would never have thought to find anything like that from such a catalog.

Funny thing is, aside from the sleeve caps and the collar, it's not really Edwardian at all. The fabric, the colors and the trim are totally 18th century.
