It"s Elementary - Sherlock Holmes Costumes a Hit!
In another box-office hit this holiday season, the recreation of Sherlock Holmes kept audiences entertained with the deducting intelligence of this British sleuth.
Portrayed by actor Robert Downey Jr.
, Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson take part in a "battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England".
Can't tell you anymore without spoiling the plot, but you can be sure than no clue is left unturned in this mysterious movie set in 19th century London.
It's seems elementary that this year, Sherlock Holmes costumes are going to be a smart choice for dress up events.
You idea for the perfect Halloween 2010 costume is already solved! Typically, a caped coat in plaid wool and a double-billed hat has been associated with the character of Sherlock Holmes, but in the recent film he wears a Victorian-era black frock coat over a damask vest and dark trousers.
Instead of the stereotypical sleuth hat, he's seen in a standard black bowler hat common for the day.
Add a pair of spats for your shoes and a signature pipe (who knows what he was smoking in there) are all fitting accessories for a Sherlock Holmes costume.
His sidekick Watson basically worn similar drab, wool men's suits from the 19th century that featured high-paper collars and he was sometimes seen carrying a black walking cane.
Women who want to dress up as Irene Adler to match their own personal Sherlock Holmes can don the elaborate gowns worn in the late 1800s - full, petticoated, and bustled in the back.
Nipped-in and corseted waists, leg-of-mutton sleeves, high neck detailing and elaborate hats are all also part of the women's Victorian costume look.
Hair is usually piled high on the head in ringlets to accommodate the weight of the Victorian hat and the complexion is usually kept away from the sun, very fair and delicate.
