Old school, a lot of people don't know this costume back in 2001. I had planned on making the costume for a long time, but didn't start it til I found actual French military gold bullion epaulettes - then I knew I had to make this when those came into my hands. I decided to go more artbook colors, thus the platinum wig, as very few shades of blonde work on me. I love this costume, but the lined jacket and this wig are very hot to wear so I usually wear for fall/winter cons.
