Lord Montague’s costume uses the same pattern as the prince’s. It’s a slashed-sleeve Renaissance tunic with pants, and for old Montague, I’ve included a black muffin cap to top it all off.

Just last week, I made the costume for the prince (the guy who stops the fighting in Act 1 and eventually banishes Romeo).  I took a few shots of him with Momoko, and they were very popular on my Pinterest and Facebook pages, so that’s promising.
