What a gorgeous suit! It looks rather comfortable and practical. And kudos for going full-hog on the persona! Votes for Women buttons, I love it!

Without a doubt, this is the best WWI period costume that I've ever seen!! You nailed it. Every single inch of it, from the fit of your dress to the tip of that epicly awesome feather.

BRAVO!!!!
