Sherlock Holmes was always a fascinating character for me. Not only his genius and his highly analytial mind but also his human (or should I say inhuman?) side appeals to me very much. He is arrogant, always needs someone to watch his genius deductions, but never takes actually credit when solving a crime. He is a manic depressiv and constantly needs to occupy his brain.

And what if he was a woman? In Victorian times it would have hardly been possible for a woman to be like that, but one can dream though ;-)

So this is my female version of the great Mr Sherlock Holmes and I call her Ms Shelley Holmes.
Since she is a detective, she would not wear some frilly things and trained skirts. But she would choose elegant clothes when going outside, just as her male counterpart does.

That is why I made her an dressy woollen suit and a warm coat to wear in the chilly London air.
To complete the costume I also made the Brown Leather Gloves.

This coat has such a wonderful silhouette with the narrow waist and the very wide flared hemline. Since it is shorter at the front than at the back seen in profil the coat is very beautiful, too :-)

The coat appears joyful and fanciful and therefore I even like it in this light colour. It swings widely when you move about in it. In my eyes it emenates lightness with that.

It is perfectly suited as a between-seasons coat and with all that it earned its labelling as Springtime Coat :-)
