fearful_symmetryMara-mun is partly to blame for this, but omgthatdress is by far the worst influence. I love playing long-lived characters, if only because it gives me an opportunity to go back and figure out what they were up to throughout history...which includes costume changes. It's fun to remember that jeans, tanktops and leather jackets weren't always available to badass ladies.
An Edwardian "walking dress". Does Lynn want to shred that hat with her teeth? Oh, boy, does she ever.
Evening gown, with about a billion pailettes and a poorly rendered overlay. She came out younger, here, so possibly a costume worn when Caroline introduced her to society?
Somebody better fetch her some punch before she goes all Mulan with that fan.
Tea dress, for receiving guests at home. I think she got tired of all the formal poses by this point. I like to imagine she's goading Art, here.
(factoid: fencing was one of the first martial arts Caroline ever passed down to Lynn, mostly because her two sons were skilled enough to spar with the kid. Lynn might prefer more intimidating weapons/her bare hands, but she's actually quite good)
What's under all the above outfits. Lynn happens to be a Grand Master of the Fighting In A Fucking Corset School. Because, man, there weren't any other options available at the time. Luckily, they went out completely by the late 19-teens.
