And with the waistcoat, the Edwardian 13 cosplay is complete!

The embroidery on the collar aligns with Victorian flower symbolism and includes ivy (dependence, endurance), jasmine (eternal & unconditional love, also, Yaz!!), and violets (sapphic love). Plus, a secret rainbow on the inside. :)

Step two of Edwardian 13 cosplay: shirt! Fittingly, most collared shirts, including this one, have 13 buttons.

Also, both the shirt and the bicycle trousers I made entirely by hand.

The shirt has the top 3 buttons undone. Is this perhaps Ye Olde Thirst Trap?

I put these in-progress trousers on for a fit check and went "oh I picked EXACTLY the right color wool."

I literally never wear trousers, I'm not planning on going to another con, what am I DOING. I can make trousers now though, apparently, that's fun.
