They say that Ladies love strong, handsome men in uniforms. But when it comes to Mister Valentine, the thing is quite different - for Mistah Valentine already has his Lady, and wants to look terrific fer her, which is natural.

So, meh get some materials, some recent editions of "Sosarian Good Looking" and sketched some projects.

I would like to present them roit below.

	Project I - classical, plain, yet very elegant. Set consists of: Dark-gray feathered hat Plain-white fancy shirt A surcoat, also white, made of top-quality silk Dark-gray long pants Very durable sandals, made of spined leather Cloak - dyed with an elegant, deep red color, made of heavy suede
	Project II - modern, moderate, for evening events Set consists of: Tricorne hat Deep blue fancy shirt Body sash, sewn of golden fabric Dark blue long pants Elegant shoes, again made of spined leather

I hope that my ideas suit your taste. If you have any questions, sah, or ideas, please contact meh.

Sincerely,
Qom Riyadh

Ahha, interesting, interesting.
Project one i like the look of very much Qom, project two though, as stylish as it is, is perhaps a little too colourful for my sweet Kellys tastes.
Good work my man

Clothes for Vince

I agree Qom's selection of clothes was good but in such a case you need a woman's touch. I'm not so good with the needle but I know the basics. I'd ordered some cloth of Qom a while ago but he didn't get it so Hoagie brought me a batch from his paycheck from Haven tailors. I thought since winter is coming we'd have something warm for our dear Vince to wear. A soldier can't catch a cold, can he?

Me starting my sewing

First I began by making a tunic, it took a good couple of hours where Snudrud was trying to steal everything I own but finally I got it done. The tunic had furlined sleeves on the inside for extra warmth. The fact I haven't sew-en in a while showed as I found myself with many pricks on my fingers.

Pricking your fingers really does hurt!

After sewing all the fur parts I decided it was best to mix the dyes and get the perfect colour which just scream "Vince Valentine!" I decided with a nice creamy blue.

Mixing the perfect colour for Vince.

Now it was time to dye the clothes, stuffing the tunic in first i swirled it around making sure the dye got into the fabric then ran as fast as I can outside leaving a trial of blue dye on the floor and loads on my clothes!

Making the floor more colourful.

I then rung the tunic out getting blue dye all over the grass outside the tavern and all over my hands and legs! And I was soon joined by Hoagie who watched. After doing the same with all the other clothes I hung them out to dry.

Ring a ding ding!

Now that outfit was complete I took the hours to sew up the next. I decided on a more Avamass theme for this one as it draw's nearer each day! Vince I expect a large gift for this! Refilling the dye tub with water I began mixing the colours in, getting red dye splodges all over my work shirt.

I dyed the parts which I wanted red, red, then changed the dye into a green colour and dyed the rest green. Now my work was done so I decided it'd probably be best to move the tub and clean all the mess I'd made up before any customers or even Grief came in and saw! So taking up the tub of green dye I started for the gate.

Cleaning is what I do best.

However there was spilt dye paint on the floor and I slipped over spilling all the green dye EVERYWHERE including over myself!

Oh NO!

Hoagie found this quite funny (I could tell, his expression wouldn't stay firm!) but after a stern eye while I was lying in a pool of green he soon straightened himself out and made to help me!

Urggh sea of green!

Finally when I found it funny I began mopping up the floor with the mop. Even though Hoagie stood there!

Mopping up the mess.

After a glare or two and a kick to the knee Hoagie finally got the point and grabbed a cloth and began to help me clean up the green dye.

Hoagie finally joins!

After all the mess was clean it was finally time to clean myself up! I can't really say much for my hair however. Clothing dye is a lot stronger than hair dye and next to impossible to get out of hair so for now, I'm green.

Ahh a womans touch eh? I like the sound of that!

Quite simply an outstanding documentation Teagan, and the first outfit looks rather swish indeed.

But my mouth did drop when i saw the second outfit! The avatarian green and red combo does indeed suit me well! In fact, i'll take a set, as soon as your able to make it.

If you tailor types keep this up, i may just look presentable by the time the festive parties get here....

(OOC: Green and red is my fave RL combo! )
