For 221B Con this year, a group of us decided to create Femme Victorian versions of the BBC Sherlock characters. Why? Because we felt the canon characters already had such a "set" look it would be hard to play with it. We had a blast reinterpreting our modern characters.

I choose John Watson and the infamous Christmas jumper. Armed with heavy cane and a chatelaine full of useful tools, Watson is always ready to assist her Sherlock.

Sherlock: CousinCecily - cousincecily.tumblr.com. She was a beginning sewer but she built everything from the underwear out. Beautiful black and purple bustle skirt, and her version of Sherlock's coat is gorgeous! She even has bee pins in her hair and a perfect magnifying glass necklace. Both Sherlock and I built our dresses based on styles prevalent in 1883, early in their association - think "Speckled Band."

Mycroft: FrauleinNinja - frauleinninja.tumblr.com. Mycroft opted to go with the Natural Form style from the 1881 era, a little more old-fashioned, and designed the gown off Mycroft's Christmas suit from "His Last Vow." She looked stunning with her train, pocket watch and old book.

I managed to get some wig practice in and styled all the wigs. Eventually I might figure out what I'm doing. Ha!
