Cosplay Help: Pattern Suggestions

[imacashew218.livejournal.com]

So, for my next cosplay, I intend to cosplay as England.  And my sister was recruited as France, and we were wondering what would be good patterns for their military jackets.  I'm extremely grateful for your input!

(yes, my sister is going to be Francis...why do I get the feeling she won't have a problem with "groping" me in public?)

I'd also recommend going to swap-meets or antique shops as well, there are lots of tunics that you can swap buttons on and modify! :) And that way you can get that thicker wool feel, like an actual uniform. Wow, I keep prattling on, I'm really sorry, but I'd also recommend actual military/service ties, they have a nicer feel to them and most of them are made out of wool, shiny ones clash a bit with uniforms. ^^ Hope that helps a bit.
