The costume is a true reflection of the c17th period, with its delicate lace accents and elaborate design. The actor's portrayal of a misanthropist is enhanced by the high collar and cloak that exude an air of mystery and intrigue. The garters add a touch of elegance to the ensemble, while the dress itself presents a unique blend of masculinity and sophistication.
