The next in a series of images from pages 22 and 23 of the graphic novel I'm working on this summer. This image is a snapshot of the main character's wedding, her wife Susan and her daughter, Zara. The reference material for this image is the same as the previous image.

Cleo and Susan sharing the cake at their wedding in the graphic novel I'm working on this summer. The dress and tuxedo were researched as in previous frames I've posted today. I think this illustration is actually rather beautiful.

1930s evening ensemble
Every piece is vintage except for my socks, and I bought them all separately across the country over two years. Almost everything required repairs.
The jacket had damaged sleeve lining which I replaced. One of the front buttons had bent and busted off, and was placed in a pocket. It’s roughly 1930s I think. The company was Foreman & Clark Clothes, “Upstairs from coast to coast”.
The trousers are Basil Durant Inc. New York. Most likely 1930s as well. Basil Durant was a vaudeville actor who started a tailoring business after vaudeville’s decline. It has silk lining on the trousers which had to be restitched.
1940s/30s? Red Suspenders. I’m honestly not as sure on the date for these, but they are in perfect condition. Bonus picture of Paris Swing suspenders about 1930s or 40s.
Paris garters 1930s or 40s.
1910s/1920s vest. It was heavily yellowed from starch which came out with gentle hand washing. Unknown maker
1920s/1930s evening shirt. This one probably had the worst damage since I know it was used by costumers/actors. The second buttonhole was completely opened and ravelled. Various stains and pinholes. I had to rebound the buttonhole.
1900s-1920s collar
Silk scarf about 1940s.
1970s Floreshime shoes.
1890s-1910s watch fob.
This guy really amuses me. (lol) It is just so great, him with a tuxedo. HAHA! I'm laughing so hard right now
So my cat fell asleep on my lap like this, and what was I supposed to do? NOT draw him????

You just received an invite to a famous celebrity. You can bring one (anyone famous or not) who are you bringing with you?
Definitely my best friend. We’d tear that party up while wearing high heels and snazzy tuxedos, and would definitely get kicked out and/or arrested.
Just hot girl things y’know?
Black And White ‘66.
The party’s host, Truman Capote, in bespoke Dunhill Tailors, New York.
