I wanted to wear something Lockwood & Co themed for halloween, but I needed it to be relatively quick, comfortable and weather/temperature appropriate, so I can actually go throughout my day wearing it. So I thought why not customise my casual clothing and because I wear quite a lot of grey I ended up with this!!
Left pocket (from photo view): TV show version of Fittes logo, Right pocket: Interpretation of book accurate Fittes logo :), Belt attachment: “iron chains”
I used the pocket buttons to pierce a hole in pieces of paper to secure them onto the jacket (and then secured the paper bits further with paper clips). And I had this paper clip & diy necklace combined chain thing I’d made before, which I could secure onto the belt loops to act as ‘iron chains’ on a kit belt (I couldn’t find the right belt but pretend it it black) :). Probably would’ve made a paper torch or some other accessory for the belt if I had more time, because I unfortunately do not own anything that resembles a rapier.
lockwood cosplay from several months back -> here
(unintentional detail: the chain has a feather charm on it and feather = quill = quill kipps = fittes 🤔)
So I'm very into cosplay. And I really, really, want to cosplay Lucy Carlyle. If anyone can help me find screen accurate, affordable pieces it would be much appreciated. I'll post pics and videos on here when I get them!! If it helps I live in England so preferably affordable shipping as well.

Just started watching Lockwood and Co. on Netflix and reading the first book at the same time because I was obsessed after a total of about two and a half minutes.
And now I simultaniously want to wear a full suit to anywhere and everywhere no matter how inconvenient it gets and also dress like a badass ghost hunter in studded, black leather boots and thights and shorts and leather jacket and chop off half my hair because my bangs basically look the same as live action Lucy, but the rest of my hair is down to my butt. Also blonde, but I didn't say that I wanna be EXACTLY like her.
What does that say about my gender, tho?!
Edit: Also SWORDS!
Thank you to TheDoctorKnits, for reminding me of the most important piece of accessory.
Why do actors not do TikTok cosplays of themselves? Like, if I were a famous actor, especially someone from a cosplay show (like Lockwood and Co or shadow and bone or whatever) literally the first thing I would do was dress up as my character and do cosplay trends.
i’m gonna post better photos later but IM TOO EXCITED TO SHOW OFF THE LUCY FIT RAHHHH LINNIE FACE REVEAL AND LUCY COSTUME UNDER THE BREAK

in all honesty i’m absolutely obsessed w this fit i genuinely feel the most confident i’ve felt in a long while in this outfit lucy joan carlyle you are such a genius
Wow found some of my conspiracy thinking from back in the early days (book 2-3, I think)
(And because my handwriting is Incomprehensible)
L&Co: who's been manipulating them? Fittes. The ghost jar came from the Fittes agency; Fittes invited them to her party; Fittes funds the Orpheus Society. Fittes wanted to meet up with Lockwood at the end of book 3.
Did Fittes Send Holly? Did Fittes tip off Fairfax in book 1? Did Fittes warn Winkman in book 2 of their snooping? Did Fittes order Joplin to murder Carver?

Obviously I was completely ignoring individual motivations of some characters with my theories here, but good to see I wasn't entirely blind to some of the clues.
