Written for OLWG#178
Michelle wore a 4-button black barathea wool tailcoat with satin-faced peak lapels. The tails hung to the back of her knee and the sleeves were short enough to show some cuff. Her wool trousers were cut high to accommodate the waistcoat. They had double satin braiding on the outseams and plain bottoms, no cuffs. Her waistcoat was rounded bottom; made of white cotton with a piqué weave. It was fastened with three buttons.
She wore a white cotton, single cuff, wing collar shirt with a piqué bib (to hold the starch) and a tab that fastened to her trousers. On her feet she wore cap toed calfskin shoes with a high shine. Her accessories were a top hat, mother of pearl studs and cuff-links, but she forwent the white scarf due to the time of year. Of course a white bow tie and a white pocket square completed her outfit.
She and Daniel were dressed identically, but somehow Michelle pulled it off better.
Daniel asked if, during the course of the evening, she would humour him and pull a rabbit out of her hat.
She replied with her crooked grin and a quick peck on his cheek.
This week’s prompts were:
- call him out
- a matter of magic
- the carousel only makes you dizzy
