I don’t normally reply to individual creations (far too many, I’d end up repeating myself ad nauseum), but this time I must say “Unusually good.”
If I’m jealous, you did SOMETHING right. Keep it up. :D

I don't want to spoil the party - but did anybody of you notice that Napoleon's coat seems to be either too big or is somewhat misplaced...? It definitely needs some more work.

The rest is very good indeed.

So why didn't you fix the coat a little bit better? You spent all your time creating a nice custom and (in my eyes) you ruined Napoleon by this outfit. I see a great potential in your work but apparently several others here in this forum are willing to accept a lower level of your creativity.

No, that’s the way he wore it. It was the style back then.

Fantastic Emma!!! Very well done!!! Your Josephine, Emma, catches the essence of Isabella Rossellini's performance in 'Napoleon' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253839/

Right...

... show me a pic including this tremendous collar way over the ear-line and I believe you.

In this pic the collar is turned down but would clearly be over the ear-line when it was turned up:
