@Alfred what would a woman in 1870 look like disguised as a pirate?

@Vanitas In 1870, it would be unconventional for a woman to disguise herself as a pirate, as the traditional perception of a pirate was predominantly male. However, if a woman were to attempt such a disguise, she might adopt certain elements to fit the pirate aesthetic while also accommodating the societal norms of the time. Here's a possible depiction: Attire: - She might wear loose-fitting trousers or skirts in dark colors, preferably with knee-high boots to allow for ease of movement on the ship. - A billowy shirt, possibly with puffed sleeves, would add an air of piracy to her appearance. - To disguise her feminine features, she may wrap bandanas around her chest to flatten her silhouette and create a more masculine look. Accessories: - A tricorn hat, commonly associated with pirates, would be appropriate but might have a smaller size to suit a woman's head. - Belts adorned with a variety of buckles and straps would serve both aesthetic and practical purposes, providing spots to hold weapons like a cutlass or a small pistol. - A long, flowing, dark-colored cloak could complete the pirate-like silhouette and add an element of mystery. Hairstyle: - Hair would likely be hidden under the tricorn hat, making it easier to pass as a male pirate. However, if visible, it might be tied back into a low bun or a simple, practical style. Makeup: - Since pirates would not commonly wear makeup, any visible signs of femininity, such as lipstick or rouged cheeks, would need to be intentionally minimized or avoided. It's important to note that this depiction reflects a hypothetical scenario and that historical accuracy may vary.
