Here is some of John Singleton Copley's work. Much of the clothing and props he used were "made up" just for the sake of making a good painting.

It is a tradition in old-time portraiture that what you wear for a portrait isn't necessarily what you'd walk down the street in....(I'm really sorry about the small sizes here)....
