Acurrate Eponine Costume
Honestly, there is only one thing that annoys me about the Les Miserables musical and that thing is, like in the book, Eponine and how the fans romanticize her. If you have only seen the musical and never picked up the book, you might assume Victor Hugo's Eponine wears a cute short sleeved blouse, a slightly tattered skirt, a cap, a trench coat, a men's belt with a big brass buckle, and some old boots. You'd probably think she was drop dead gorgeous, busty, and had perfect hair. And you would be dead wrong. Never in the book does it ever mention Eponine wearing a cap (except when dressed as a boy) or a coat, she didn't have a proper belt (or bodice for that matter), and several times she is described as being barefoot. She was not particularly well-endowed, and passed as a feminine boy easily enough. She was not overwhelmingly beautiful though if she had an easier life she might have been; she was dirty and most likely had bad teeth and bushy eyebrows.
