"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Late 1700s clothes?
« on: 2012-10-10, 11:06:26 »
Not sure if this fits in here, its clothing so I figured i would drop it in the armory.
Anyways, I watched the movie Interview With a Vampire, for the 4th time and now I am even more interested in getting a outfit of clothing from the late 1700s, I think they look..elegant and classy, not sure where I would get any though. I really like the style of having the lace looking material coming out of your coat cuffs

Armory is fine if it's a kit/costuming discussion.

That's a good question. There are now all sorts of options for 1800s, between Steampunk and Wild West styles, those are all over the place. But 1700s I'm not sure. I'd still look for steampunk clothing websites. The trick is to have an eye for what's historically based and what is pure fantasy. Short of that, it might require looking into having something custom made.
