This ladies' tailcoat is made from flock fabric, a soft raised-texture material, cut in a vintage Victorian shape for gothic and steampunk costume wear. The tailored waist, tail-cut hem and textured finish give it a distinctive period look suited to conventions, cosplay and themed events. As a fabric piece rather than leather, it's lighter to wear and layers comfortably over blouses, corsets or waistcoats, making it easier to move in through a full day of photography or dancing. The flock texture also gives depth similar to velvet without the weight. Fit is close through the bodice, so please check our size guide before ordering to get the best shape. It pairs well with a corset, ruffled blouse or striped skirt to build a complete gothic or steampunk costume for conventions and photoshoots. Made to measure is available if you'd like the tailcoat cut closer to your own measurements. Browse more in our women's costumes collection.
