Hmm...
The coat (center picture) from Vogue 1290 - minus the silly-frilly cuffs - in a patterned, dark-colored velvet/velveteen, either sapphire blue or dark burgundy, lined in an iridescent poly-taffeta. EDIT: or maybe I should use this as a lining. Heheh.
Folkwear 250's Hollywood pants - moleskin/microfiber in some complimentary color (I'd rather not default to black but I will if I must). I've made this pattern before, as well as the coat, above, and they're both eminently suited for running down corridors.
This basque shirt - upper right on the line drawing - with that ever-so amusing collar. Cream-colored silk (or something similarly luscious) with the contrast panels in some crazy jewel-tone patchwork type pattern, in whatever fabric I can lay my hands on. Batik-dyed silk would be a bit much although, man oh man, I like this, although I think this is a bit too nebula-like. But you get the idea - a splash of crazy-color to peek out from under the coat.
And some very smart boots, with just a hint of a heel, I think.
Alas, I completely lack the funds to make this and it violates my no more making costumes that I have to explain rule but, oh boy, I'm tempted... It'd be just so dam' dashing. Or something.

And you're gorgeous. Your point? ;-)
Didja catch the edit I just posted with the craaaaaazy fabric?
No, I didn't. (I was busy watching your roommate being more femme than I think I've ever seen her as she ran the masque.) Lovely, sumptuous fabric - with the unfortunate detail that my brain keeps parsing the pattern as being dotted with little red swastikas.... o.O

re: the fabric, yeah, I agree that it can evoke *that* pattern, but not overly so, imho and, fer crissakes, I got half a bolt of it for something like $10 at a going-out-of-business sale at JoAnn's. I couldn't resist! ;)
