Remy and Anna from my Rogue and Gambit fanfic, The Tailor & The Seamstress, and AU set in 1910. 💖

Remy LeBeau, from my Romy fanfic, The Tailor & The Seamstress. Procreate.

All I have to say is that it doesn't look like Remy LeBeau because I couldn't give him his long, luscious locks. 😆 At this time men really did not wear their hair any way other than short, parted, and slicked back, and generally it was fashionable for young men to be cleanshaven. So basically - everything that Remy LeBeau does not do.

Collars were naturally higher at this period, and the necktie was probably the most decorative aspect of male dress.

Anna Raven, from my Romy fanfic, The Tailor & The Seamstress. Procreate.

Working women of this period weren't in the business of wearing clothes to make them stand out. A simple, plain shirtwaist and a skirt was the usual fare. Neckties were also fashionable, following male trends, but weren't really seen in the workplace.

Anna being a dressmaker, and a bit of a secret rebel, I wanted her to stand out without bucking trends too much. Her talent leads her to make garments that are a little bit flashy and eye-catching. The shirtwaist isn't plain and has some details on the collar, sleeves and bodice that would definitely look slightly more upmarket. It's the same with her skirt, which is way fancier with the button details than a regular skirt would be; and it's also actually a pair of culottes, or the pantaloon skirt, as it was more often named at the time (see the detail on the picture for how they're constructed).

She also wears a colourful patterned necktie and kerchief to keep her hair out of her face when she works. Since she works a LOT, both in the atelier and at home, she wears the kerchief most of the time. Most women wore their hair pinned up.

All this goes towards making her look slightly chicer than the regular working class woman, and someone Remy would definitely take notice of. 😁

And those are not stockings, those are boots. 😉

Chapter 7 of The Tailor & The Seamstress is now out!

In which more honesty leads to something of an impasse.
