It's been over a year since making Victorian Gonzo, so it's time to tackle another historically accurate cosplay! This time around it's a little different- rather than focusing on a characters outfit from a specific era and talking about how the clothing would have actually been made, I'm choosing an era that we didn't get see in the first season. Since Aziraphale is an angel, he's been around since the beginning and we can pick any era to place him in! But I do have a Belle Epoque event coming up and would love a new outfit for tea. I'm also doing research into 19th/20th c women's sportswear and active attire, so an 1890s "new woman" bicycle outfit seemed to fit with all of my needs! And it should be an easy adjustment to his common ensemble based in the 1860s. Turns out, as tailors were making so much women's wear in the late Victorian era, they were ending up very similar to menswear!

Crowley, "Wouldn't it be funny if I did the right thing and you did the wrong thing."
Aziraphale, "No it wouldn't!"
I love clips of their repartee
@@starshinedragonsong3045 So much of the script was taken directly from the book. If you haven't read it I would recommend it. It's an absolute delight to read. 😊
I hope she does a cosplay costume for Crowley as well. I'd love to see Nicole's take on that. 😈
She needs someone else to do Crowley, that way they can go to events together!
Yeah I want her to do Crowley but to fit Abby or another of their friends who guest spot in their videos for fitting or historical-dress-in-a-day marathons. Otherwise A and C will each be lonely
I'm here for that!
@@myladycasagrande863 Oh I never said she had to wear it. I just would be interested in seeing her version of the cosplay.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 that's fair
I love the mini fanfiction you concocted for the outfit!!! It's cute and super in character, and angels and demons canonically don't really have a gender, so I don't think he'd mind presenting female when it suited him better.
Definitely! Apparently one of Aziraphales early outfits in that episode is technically a womens style- it's just far earlier than my expertise. And, of course, Crowley as the nanny!
@@NicoleRudolph That was one if the best parts of the series I found it hilarious.
@@NicoleRudolph one of the moments in the biblical style clothes is female attires well for Crowley. And something during Rome. Maybe the hair? I can’t remember. Also, his glasses, and his…. Maybe his top? In the modern era are woman’s brand.
Crowley has a very IDGAF about “gender” and cares more about what he thinks looks good. XD
There's literally a sentence in the good omens book that reads "...angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort"(page 194 in the paperback version)! ^^ so this is spot on:)
Yeah, or a sex which is why the book explicitly points about, that zira gets mistaken for gay but is not making them love each other non explicitly not queer baiting but ace rep.
I love the concept for it makes so much sense, what for would an angel need a biological sex?! But people tend to not get it and I am bitter about it.... And that the rings of power deprived us of dwarven lady beards
Can I just say I love how they aged Aziraphale's waistcoat! He said it's his favorite and very old, and the designer remembered to actually make it LOOK old, despite Aziraphale's attempts to keep it in top condition :) I love this show, and I'm very excited to see your finished product!
Edited to say it was actually the coat that was his favorite, and it seems to be the same coat from the Holy Water scene up to present day. I want to propose a theory though, do we think the waistcoat from 25:33 is also supposed to be the same one as the present day? Just older, faded, and less luxurious than it was in the beginning?
Edit #2: I was rewatching, and he DID keep the gold waistcoat, and they aged it similarity the the cream coloured one. You can see it in the scenes where he is playing magician at Warlock’s birthday in episode 1.
I would love to see more “Aziraphale and Crowley presenting as female” projects or concepts! Medieval Aziraphale in an embroidered kirtle and an absurdly tall and gauze-covered hennin… Crowley being fab in a heavily-beaded red-and-black silk flapper dress… I love this project so much and I’d love to see more!
Nice ideas, female Crowley is with the switch scene the best change from book to series. I read one FF that worked a lot with that, Crowley making female appearances between the historical examples the show showed and it was simply glorious. You got gender and sexless beings in your work, do something with it! It is such an interesting thing to explore and Crowley is so fabulous
@@SingingSealRiana And he/she would delight in the “rebelliousness” of shorter skirts and more “mannish” styles and activities! (Plus, pre-Bentley but finding horses “hard on the buttocks”, I can imagine Crowley being an enthusiastic bicyclist.)
@@jennypaxton8159 well is not that true, I would love to see more in that direction!
I need more Flapper Crowley in my life 😩
@@SingingSealRianaAlso, id be really curious to read that fanfiction, if you’ve still got the link or something. I’m afraid I’ve pretty much already read myself through the Genderfluid Crowley Tag on AO3. 😅
* furiously taking notes*
I’ve been obsessed with the Trouville Cycling suit at the MET because of the adjustable waist and that it seems to have pockets in the front but I can’t for the life of me figure out how it goes together. this video has some great clues 🎉😂😂
The next video will answer that in great detail!
@@NicoleRudolph oh my god I’m so excited, I can’t wait
I mainly watched Good Omens for Aziraphale and Crowley, partly because I admire and respect both actors. My favorite part was following them through the various time periods because I’m a history buff. This project sounds fascinating and I’m looking forward to watching it come together.
Although I’m glad you found the stockings you wanted for this, it would be really interesting to hear you talk about historical spats and gaiters some time.
✨️ SECRET PANTS!! ✨️
I don't know why I am raptly engaged with this project. I've never read the books or watched the series. I am never tailoring a coat. I never participate in costumed events. But-------this is Grand!!!!!
Ok…Victorian era cross dressing angel - 🤣❤
Of course, unless I’m mistaken as to this character, Angels are basically above or beyond gender … so this sounds like a lot of fun! Love your analysis.😇
It's not really crossdressing if you have no sex or gender to begin with, I love it and while the book never explicitly had any of them both switch, I love that the show did
Also that is an outdated and offensive term for the trans/queer community, maybe please don’t use that.
@@enbyfairyyy Please accept my apologies, made from a place of ignorance. We live in an age of the transformation of consciousness, language lags. I would edit it, but not sure what would be better, or another blunder.
@@enbyfairyyywhat do you use instead? I am struggling to find another term to describe it in the context of cis person wearing the clothes of the opposite gender.
@@marandadavis9412 ya there is no direct 1:1 term to use, but what you just said is a great way to say it. Or, like other comments have said, just say that because angels don’t have a gender it makes sense for the character to wear a variety of clothes, or dress in a gender non-conforming way, or dress for a variety of different gender presentations.
OMG I have never clicked on a video so fast! I'm going to be doing a Crowley cosplay this year! I'm going with a modern one, but at some point I would love to do a historical one
The only problem is which historical era do you select from.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 Decisions, decisions, decisions... So many wonderful options to choose from
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 Imagine flapper Crowley
I'm really excited to see how this one goes! Good Omens plus Historybounding and Historical Costuming? Hitting all my joy buttons on this one lol. BTW, that orange and green scarf looked gorgeous on you!
I really like the paper doll part! 😁 Am going to continue watching the rest now ☺
Me too, it reminds me of my childhood when I played with paper dolls ❣️
Oh, it's awesome! I am planning to do female versions of Azira and Crowley with a friend. So it's a perfect timing. Thank you so much 💕
But... But.... Secret pants?!?! Looking forward for this series!
love the concept for the outfit. and I am so in love with the little back story. he absolutel would do anything to taste whatever there is to taste in the era he is in!
and I love the little dive into the planning process and where to cut corners. there is only so much time, energy, motivation one person has. you got to economicly clever with your recourses!
It's just the mort zira motivation for anything ever ^^
Perhaps Aziraphale could even learn a new dance to go with the gavotte, in between delicious nibbles!
Can't wait to see how this turns out!
It's funny that you posted a pic of that flowery cycling outfit coz I'm literally in the middle of making my own version at the moment 😁
I have some cotton stash fabric from the 1980s that's almost identical to that fabric!
That outfit is amazing! I made some purple plaid Harris tweed cycling knickers last winter (great for cross country skiing) and I was worried they were too loud, but having seen that outfit they’re clearly very understated!
Unsolicited… it would be really neat to see someone make spats work in a historically adequate costume. Since it’s relatively easy/inexpensive expense to get oxfords, seeing how to make them work with other outfits via adding spats. Idk. I think it would be neat.
I'm so excited to see your video and squealed like a "treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide"! Do you have The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion book? It has lots of color photos of costumes and production notes. Regarding the pattern of Aziraphale's ties, the tartan was specifically designed for Michael Sheen. It's called Heaven's Dress tartan. Reproductions are available. Please tell us if any of your historical costume friends is going to cosplay as Crowley. I can't wait to see more of your video series!
yessss omg this is my fave kind of gomens fanwork. also, iirc the tartan was made especially for aziraphale so finding a match for it is always hellish lmao
I love this project. It makes me feel much more normal about my fem!Aziraphale cosplay where I made a skirt that was an early 1860s skirt, pleated in a more 1890s fashion, cut to a 1920s length as I figured Aziraphale wasn't that interested in totally new garmets.
I love this project. Good Omens (series and book) is so wonderful, I love it! I’d do Crowley, and I’d love to see what you’d do for Crowley, even if it’s just a drawing.
Btw, I really like your hair! I’m going to show my kid, she’s looking for a similar style.
"It's been well over a year since my last historically accurate cosplay", I have gone back a rewatched those so often it feels like only yesterday you were finishing off the gorgeous Gonzo outfit. Of all your wonderful creations, I think that is the one I most envy!!
OMG I am in love with this project already!!! Good Omens is one of my favorite books, and this era's fashion fits him so well! I can't wait to see the finished outfit! :D
If you’re planning to wear the knickerbockers for cycling, make sure you check the length you need while sitting on your bike; you need quite a bit of length to be able to lift the knees while peddling (as I found out the hard way with a different pattern).
Excellent point !
I DID wonder about the closure due to the pedaling action. Would it ride up, chaffe, etc?
@@m.maclellan7147 I made mine with the bikesandbloomers pattern no6 and they are very comfy, although I gave mine a full lining. And I had to lengthen the pattern a LOT.
OMG THIS IS AMAZING
Got to be @abbycox. She's definitely the type to enjoy being a little devil 😈 LOL!
Ohh I`m so looking forward to this project 😊 I met victorian Aziraphale and Crowley once at a book fair. The girls wore stunning ball gowns, but I also love the more practical approach!
You're coming to Soiree Doree? 😮 Now I'm sad I'm only doing the ball and not the tea, so I won't get to see this. But at least I'll get to see that wonderful net gown in person!
Your middle section about your "good/better/best" system speaks to my SOUL. I actually do a con panel called "The Art of Cutting Corners" that is coming very much into play for this occasion, as I bought my ticket last year thinking I would have plenty of time to make a new gown. Then life took a couple of left turns, and now I'm two weeks out and making an evening bodice to go with... the skirt from the "Emergency Walking Suit" I knocked out in a day and a half in the summer of 2021 because I waited too long to try on what I was planning to wear for an event and discover that it was not just snug but unworkable. I've been meaning to do a video about it and the whole "cutting corners" philosophy, and with this new addition it really need to get around to it!
GOOD OMENS! YES!!! Today is the 8th anniversary of Sir Terry walking the black sands. GNU STP
I ADORE the paper doll method
You buying less fabric than you need bc it's expensive and letting future you deal with it is such a mood!
How do you go about making the paper dolls? Could that be a video?
Have you heared about the coquecot skirt? It is a sewing patern that now is up to date on some palltforms and it has adjustable vasteband and leaned into 18h patterns. Maybe this is helpful for the skirt, talking about short cuts.
Very excited for this series!
So excited for this!!!
So excited for this project!

I can't wait to see this! So excited you are doing Aziraphale.
I’m super excited for this make!
Love seeing so much more of your process!! Can’t wait to see all of these garments come together.
Wow that’s an awesome outfit! Can’t wait to see all the pieces!
Very exciting project!
Love this idea, and very much looking forward to what you come up with!
Looking forward to seeing how this progresses! It all looks so awesome thus far!
That pic of the two women at the table is doin a little somethin to my gay heart. Loving the textured/patterned stockings! I can't wait to see the rest of this costume!!
Oh THAT's what you were working on friday!! So excited for this!
Nicole,
I absolutely love when you do these type of video's!! Of course, I thoroughly enjoy all your video's, but when I get to watch you do a big project from start to finish...truly I feel like I'm winning a huge prize or something. Technically, I am getting a prize, it's the knowledge, techniques, and information you share, that's a prize & gift in 1.
The imagery of using the paper dolls is brilliant! I have seen you do that at least once before and I thought it was such a really clever idea. Do you draw and cut them out yourself?
Your knowledge and talents seriously amaze me. I love that you find something you want to know about and create, and you do it. More so, I love that you take us along with you.
Can you tell me where you purchased the Wool tweed from? I think it was the first *wool tweed you showed, it is the nice light weight one. I haven't found a good place to purchase that specific type of material. Thank you in advance.
Well, I could go on & on about how wonderful you are, how much I love that you share all the details of your projects and how to create them, but I'll just say, I can't wait until 2 weeks from now to watch your next video 🤗!!!
Thanks for all you share on your channel. You really inspire me. Wishing you peace of mind and well-being, and a little "Spring" bounce in your step to get you through this project 😉
With warm regards,
Audri

We just watched this and I loved it! (And the costuming). Cool idea.
I love this series!!! Thank you for breaking down your process. I can't wait to see you and everybody at the ball!!! Sounds so much fun.
The hat in the illustration reminds me very much of hats that would have been worn in Ladies Saddle Seat classes back in the late 1990's, early 2000's. I always wanted one, but my discipline was more helmet inclusive.
OMG I can't wait! I love these overviews of the process and then chewing my nails waiting for the next, and the next.. it sounds so fun!
Clicked so fast!!! I love the concept and that background story!! So fun and creative!!
I love this! I can't wait to see each piece come together. And I love that these will double as historical cosplay and daily wear.
Oh my goodness, amazing. Thank you! This is my favourite show and I love this deep dive into the fashion history of it all :D
Looking forward to all the things!
Fun Project! love the hat, I am so looking forward to the next vlog!
That style is so cute! Good choice!
I looming forward to seeing what everything looks like! Noe I need to go watch Good Omens again.❤
I love seeing your planning videos and I love you sewing content. History is always interesting but I love seeing everyone’s processes and approaches to sewing. Thank you for the amazing content
Absolutely love these planning videos. Paper dolls are always a good sign on this channel!
I appreciate the fitting portion of the video. Really helpful.
So looking forward to seeing it come to life ❤❤❤

This will all look amazing, and the entire ensemble is really half of a capsule wardrobe in itself! I love this.
Oh goodness, I'm so incredibly excited about this project :D I adore Aziraphale and his style, and I wanted to sew something of that era at some point too, so this is just incredibly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!! ^^
Love that plaid fabric. Cannot wait to see the entire ensemble.
This is an incredible idea, love it so much

I can not wait to see the final suit! I would love to be able to make that pattern of overcoat for my every day wear.
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing The Historical Fabric Store!! I've been working on a passion cosplay project (as in, I don't have any plans to wear it anywhere yet but I wanted to make it just because) and I've had to put a pause on the project because I haven't been able to find a fabric that feels right, and now I have! Thank you so much!!!
I love his lapels on his coat. I could never pull off that coat length. I am so excited about this series
What a wonderful project! ❤

So excited to follow this project, I love 1890's new woman fashion.
Can I just say that this is exactly how I imagined Aziraphale I’m pretty much all Ineffable Wives fanfics I’ve read. The butch lesbian Aziraphale outfit we all deserve, thank you for making this headcanon a reality and I will now go and see if anyone wrote an Ineffable Wives fanfiction in that specific period.
AhhhhHHHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

Words cannot express how excited I am to see your Southern Pansy cosplay!!! 😭✨💕
That same après biking ladies lounging pic inspired me too. So glad the knickerbockers ended up in the silk. I was worried about the bulk for sure. You are going to wear so much of this outfit again and again.
I look forward to your presentation with the Figge museum. I am from Iowa and did not know about this museum, but thanks to you I will have a new museum to tour soon! And I am excited to see how you interpret this costume. It looks comfortable, and I’m sure it will be beautiful.
I love this idea, but of course, I was very busy nosy-ing into the background of you studio which is new to me. Very nicely organised and an attractive work place - which is no surprise 😊
OMG YESSSS I LOVE GOOD OMENSSSSSSS
AGH 😇 Thank you, this made my day
I LOVE the jacket’s length! Very recognizable at that length! Can’t wait to see the finished result!

Have you thought about looking at ready-made scarves for your cravat? If you only need a tiny bit of yardage, it might be easier to find the pattern and weight of fabric that way.
