Needless to say, Victorians would not have worn twin tails. Paired with a few curls in front of his right eye and some lace, the contract seal can be covered up rather well (as long as he wouldn’t move too much). Veils ended up being my only option, though people usually did not wear veils unless for wedding or religious ceremonies.īut one poor option is better than no option at all, so veil it was. Victorians were not supposed to have anything dangling before their faces (Frances is right), because that was considered poor grooming. I threw myself into a research hole to try find an alternative solution, but the results were rather disappointing.
#Ciel phantomhive dress Patch#
I do understand Yana’s problem though O!Ciel could not very much wear an eye patch as a proper lady, so what to do to conceal the contract sign? You think Victorian, and you think HATS👒🎩 Wearing a hat indoors at night was not unlike wearing sunglasses indoors at night in present time. Hats were rarely paired with short sleeved low-necklines, because the idea of the hat was to protect the wearer from the sun. Women were supposed to wear long sleeves and high necklines during day, and the opposite during night time events. Head wear and hairįirst of all, Victorians had clear distinctions between day wear and evening wear. Let us break this costume down from top to bottom wherein I examine the historic inaccuracies, and how I propose to “correct” these while trying to keep as much of the original design intact as possible.
In the earliest chapters however, it seemed like Yana didn’t even have a clue what English people wore in the 1880s, and just googled some lolita dresses and slapped them onto her characters.Ĭostume-wise, the most iconic one of the series is definitely O!Ciel’s notorious Robin Dress (I mean, which other costume has an actual name that’s googleable?) This dress however, is really a historical amalgamation of all sorts, and knowing Yana, she probably would not have gone for this design today.
As the Kuroshitsuji series continues, historic accuracy has gone way up thanks to Yana’s consulting of a Victorian Era expert.
