Stalking some steampunk consulting detective character or something

[firecat]

I asked Bertha at Size Queen Clothing to make me an Inverness cloak with a purple lining. She did a fabulous job and I love it. Have a look.

I love your pose in the second one :) (Nice cloak, too)

[firecat]

Thanks!

Wow, that is an awesome cloak! So beautifully cut and I love the fabric and lining. This looks like the promo shots for a very cool detective show on the BBC.

[firecat]

Yay!

[fadedwings]

That is a great cloak and I adore the purple lining!

[firecat]

Thanks!

That's an awesome cloak! And looks really well done, too.

[firecat]

Yes, it's really well made!

[jae]

That is faaaaaabulous.

[akycha]

WOW. What a fabulous garment, and you look great in it!

[firecat]

Thanks!

[serene]

Oh, wonderful! You can really see the fabric in that last photo, and I love it.

[firecat]

:D

[lunesque]

Wow, that is amazing. You look great!

[firecat]

Thanks!

[amadi]

I love it! It gives you a remarkable air of mystery!

[firecat]

:D

[snippy]

Lovely! I want to iron it, though.

[firecat]

LOL! You're channeling my mother.

[pameladean]

Now that would make a person wishful to leave the house. (I have trouble with this in the winter months.) I too love the second pose a lot.

P.

[treacle_well]

Oh my yes.

[firecat]

Thanks! (It's a good thing I don't live where you live -- I'm wearing it in the house.)

[flarenut]

Wow! I have been reading a bunch of Nero Wolfe lately. This series would be better.

[firecat]

Yes! :D

[wild_irises]

I'd read that! (Awesome cloak!)

[firecat]

Maybe I'll be inspired to write that.

[elynne]

Oooh... I've been wanting/trying to make myself a Sherlockish coat-thing; I now have envy of yours. Lovely! :)

[firecat]

:D When you get yours, we need to go sleuthing together!

[elynne]

That would be awesome. :) I've been needing to get my Sherlock on...

[submarine_bells]

... and from stage left enters Purple Holmes, Sherlock's crankier but smarter sister. :-)

Great cloak! It really suits you.

[firecat]

LOL, yes!

Thanks!

[bcholmes]

Snerk.

The photos and cloak and model are all manner of awesome.

[firecat]

:D Thanks!

[metaphortunate]

Hee. I love that shot from the back. DraMAHtic!

[firecat]

Yeah I like that one too :)

[maize]

Ooo! I really like that. :)

[firecat]

Thanks! :)

[sabotabby]

Beautiful!

[firecat]

Thanks!

Sooo cool. I love the purple liner. And the houndstooth?

[firecat]

The houndstooth has a hint of purple too.

Er, I mean herringbone.

[treacle-well.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was a little surprised to see that in the final photo, since it was quite evident there and less so in the others. Definitely something that sets it even more clearly into the gorgeous and special category.

The last shot is best for seeing the fabric, but the first shot is best for seeing you. SO PURPLE! I'm envious!

[firecat]

I can haz purple!

[jillzilla.livejournal.com]

I think it's spectacular.

[firecat]

Yay!
