In the Victorian era it was also well known for men to clinch themselves in at the waist. The trousers would be loose with a crease running down the front and back, while the coats would be have long tails and be black. It was known for men to wear bright silk scarfs round their necks to accessorise much like the woman of the time did with hair pieces.

My main influence for the costume was from Sir Malcolm as I felt he was the most high class out of the characters. With this in mind I went to a vintage shop close by and found the perfect outfit. I picked up a scarf, a waistcoat and a long tailed jacket, while my model brought is own shirt.
