18th Century 'Macaroni' 2

Description

Second Year University Project
Menswear project
A 'Macaroni' was a sort of eccentric 18th century fop-like creature, they did the whole white wig powdered faces thing.

We were given flowers to design our costumes around, unfortunatley we didn't get to pick them ourselves, i was given the Peony. So i found a really obscure orange one instead of the usual pink.
It was designed and constructed by me and modeled by my friend Dave who also forgot to shave that morning so mind the stubble :D (poor bloke had no idea what he was letting himself in for till he turned up that day! But he got really into it in the end)

Includes: Shirt, Cravat, Waistcoat, Breeches and Coat
Wig styled by me

I like the firey color palette. Those are really beautiful fabrics.

Your willing model needs to see his dancing-master for corrections to his posture!  It was considered ungraceful to flop the arms fully extended. (You'll notice period suits have bent elbows - the arms look best with a bend!
