Faceoutstudio is preparing to shoot the live action book trailer for The Guardian Duke and I need your help! They sent me these photos of possible costume choices for both Alexandria and Gabriel – the Duke of St. Easton. Could you help us choose? Just pick your favorite dress and coat. Thank you!!

Dress 4 and coat 1
I agree, dress 4, coat 1.
dress 4, coat 1
Dress 1 is a court dress. I can tell by the trim and the train. So not that one!
I like dresses 3 and 4. 3 is the most correct in style and pattern, but the fabric itself is all wrong. The bodice of 4 is fantastic, but the skirt is way off. I wish I could see the backs of 3 and 4.
Coat 1. 2 isn’t very Regency at all.
And that’s my official costume nerd opinion.
Agree with above. Dress 4, Coat 1.
Agree with everyone else…dress 4, coat 1.
Awesome information, Rachel! I may have to get your email so I can ask you all my clothing questions!
I think my favorites are dress 4 and coat 1 as well.
Dress 4
Dress 1, Coat 2
I like dress 1 with coat 1 because I like the V on the front of coat 1. The V the buttons form make made me think immediately of your title – Guardian, the buttons form a protective area on the coat. Perhaps silly, but that was my first impression. I liked several of the dresses, but I think dress 1 goes best with coat 1. Love, love having these little glimpses into what’s coming, thanks
Dress 4 and Coat 2. I don’t like the red part of Coat 1 with that dress. Coat 2 seems more “proper” and less “showy” if that makes sense.
Have to go with the rest – Dress 4 & Coat 1, though not too crazy about the tassels on Dress 4…. The dress as a whole is lovely, though!
I like dress 4 with Coat 2…just liked the way they look the best, I have no idea about what was truly ‘in’ during that time period.
Dress one, it’s the clear prettiest. Dress four is passable, I suppose, if it is more appropriate to the scene being set up. Both coats are ugly, IMO.
Ha! Andrea. They do look plain. They sent me a pic of the first one “done up” and it’s much better but I didn’t post it because I didn’t want to sway the voting. I’ll post it on Wednesday when the voting closes and you’ll see what I mean.
I would have to agree with everyone else! Dress 4 and coat 1. I too like the bodice of dress 4 although I don’t love the skirt. I’m interested to see how the red (I believe it’s red anyway!
) on the coat goes with the dresses, no matter which one is chosen.
thanks for asking our input! so fun!!
I like dress 1 and coat 1 best! Love that we get to vote and may the best combination win!
I would do coat 1 and dress 1
Dress 1 and Coat 1. This was fun! Can’t wait to see the final cover!
Good points about the red on the coats matching the dress. I think I would like dress one best with any red on Gabriel. You all r so helpful!!
Dress 3 and Coat 1
