It’s been a long time coming, but I finally finished Leonard’s pink suit<\/a>! I made the pants and waistcoat back in 2023 and commissioned the matching coat around then too. But I never got around to trimming the coat until I was inspired to wear the whole outfit for the Salon at Palais Royal event<\/a> by the Costumers of Color.<\/p>\n

I started hand-sewing this wide black sequined lace along the collar, but got stymied (y’know, me and hand-sewing, ugh!). So I asked my mom, who somehow enjoys such fiddly work. And she amazingly agreed! So over the summer, she painstakingly sewed all the trim on the coat.<\/p>\n

\"Leonard's <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Leonard's <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Leonard's <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

I also commissioned a new pink wig from Kendra (who’s written a book<\/a> on the topic and sometimes makes wigs for sale<\/a>). I just added a little wig bag. For that head-to-toe look, I also got a pair of American Duchess pompadour shoes<\/a> in bone and had them custom-dyed by a local cobbler to match the pink in the waistcoat’s pink stripe!<\/p>\n

\"pink <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"American <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Then it all came together at the event…<\/p>\n
