This tailcoat is made from patterned velvet, cut in a vintage Victorian shape for steampunk and gothic costume outfits. The fitted bodice, tail-cut hem and textured pattern give it a decorative, period look that stands out at conventions, cosplay events and photography, offering more visual interest than a plain-coloured coat.
Velvet is soft to wear and layers comfortably over a blouse, corset or waistcoat, while remaining lighter than a leather tailcoat for easier all-day wear. It's a versatile piece for building a full steampunk or Victorian-inspired outfit around one statement jacket. Fit is close through the waist and bust, so please check our size guide before ordering. It works well for conventions, cosplay and photoshoots, and pairs easily with a corset, blouse or simple accessories to complete the outfit. Made to measure is available if you'd like the tailcoat tailored to your own measurements. Browse more in our women's costumes collection.
