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.
