Wardrobe Malfunction

Description

Requests continue.
This was for someone who wanted to see Herbert from Tanz der Vampire trying on his dad's clothes. It was a surprisingly hard request - the scenario sounds good, but is very hard to make funny. I'm not sure I succeeded.

The first four costumes are Herbert's own clothes from different productions, of course. I hear the upper right hand corner is current non-German Tanzsaal, but I don't know which version the upper left hand corner is from (feel free to educate me). The rest are from the Finnish production. Magda's costumes, then - no. one tries to resemble the original, two and three are inspired by the Finnish show, four is directly from the Finnish Finale.
Maybe it's just because that was my first (and, so far, only) Tanz... But I really like the Finnish design for Herbert a lot better. It's really over the top, but I think that suits the character. Forever a viscount, forever daddy's spoiled little princess... Somehow it makes sense that if he thinks it's fabulous, he wears it, no matter what others think.

Luckily, in my headcanon, Magda is there to befriend him and laugh at his silliest fashion mishaps.

Tanz der Vampire is not mine.

I thought this was funny and I haven't even seen the show yet. :) I LOVE Magda's final pose! That's so excellent! Also, all her little 'considering' reaction faces. And... the more Herbert sketches I see, the more motivated I am to see this musical.
