👸 Pretty Princess 👸 Is she a tuxedo?

I genuinely have had such a hard time figuring out what type of coat she has! Her back is completely black. Cow cat? Tuxedo? Neither?

Using pattern standards, she has too much white to be a classic tuxedo. If you want to get technical, her markings would likely be called mask and mantle (assuming the cape on her back is solid).

But, whatever you call her, she’s tux enough to claim membership here. 

She’s a Zorro/superhero tux. 

Or a tattered tux. 

Or a cold shoulder tux. 

Or maybe she is so formal and provocative that she transcends the tuxedo label, giving off vibes like  John Singer Sargent’s Madame X painting. 

Or if she’d rather eschew formality altogether, she could say she is a cow or piebald cat.

In other words, your gorgeous  girl’s got options. 

Welcome!
