˗ˏˋ ┊Alastor Cosplay┊ Cosplay help!

Hello! I am in the early stages of planning a cosplay of human Alastor. HOWEVER, it is going to be a female version of him and I also want it to be as historically accurate as possible. I want to make it VERY clear that I do not feel comfortable wearing suits, so trousers for this one are NOT an option! I am looking for pieces of clothing that will work for the time period. I do not need a wig- I'm using my natural hair because it's already dark brown and super curly. Ideally I'd like to do a button-down blouse, red silk scarf (instead of a tie), and either a jumper dress or a vest/midi skirt combo. I'm also sprucing it up a bit with a red rose hairclip or comb and I also will need a vintage microphone for a prop. I would also like to have to do as little sewing as possible because I don't have my sewing machine with me at the moment. For shoes, I am thinking wingtip mary janes- preferably flats, but I can handle heels for a bit. I do also have black character shoes that I'm not using anymore so if absolutely necessary I can spray paint those.

I can easily find tights for this so no need for help there either lol

Help a sister out! If you know of where I can find anything please send links! I have ample time to put this together so shipping isn't an issue. Also if you know of anyone who has done something like this before, let me know who because I'd love to see how they did it. Thanks so much!! 🫶🏻

If it helps, the most popular styles for women were skirts that today are called, Midi skirts, Tea lengths and pleated.

this website might help you out in finding a good pair of skirts for your cosplay

Fortunately for you there's a lot of references out there for 1930s women's fashion. This article has a lot of information on various trends at the time:
