Somebody should really stop me because I'm having too much fun with this.
I thought because I got the impression watching Moonlight that Josef knew a lot about the early days of Coraline as vampire that would be cool to get flash-backs of both of them back at those times... but I don't think that will happen as soon as I'd like, so...

As I say, I'm having too much fun. I like the result even with its flaws, and I suppose it's because I'm enjoying the process. It's like dressing dolls but digital version ;)
Anyway, in case somebody is curious, I took the dress from The Kyoto Costume Institute's Digital Archive. It's a 'Walking Dress' from 1884. The hat is also from the Kyoto Costume Institute colection but taking from a book by Taschen, from the Icons colection, about Fashion from the XVIII to the XX centuries. The background images is from a google search I did seaching for places I could put Coraline. That is the Glass Gallery in Versailles. There is a small inaccuracy and that is that the dress is from the end of XIX century and the hat is from the beginning of that century. I couldn't find anything better *pout*
Here are the pics:



small version of the one I've used
If you take it or want to use it, comment and credit.
I think I haven't said before but I'd be thrilled if any of my manips would inspire ideas for fics or ficlets. If they do, please let me know so I could read them.
Ah, I forgot a version sans hat, because I'm just don't know which I like better. I'd love to find someway to make her hair look more XIX century but I couldn't (for now, since I'm still looking for a way).
