And now a Waistcoat

I'm working on the next layer of the costume--I am going to cheat and use a shirt we already had laying around the house, and some white Dockers that can pass, since time is going fast.

And yes, that is plywood on the floor--that is what happens when you pull up dog-stained carpet. The problem is that we have a cat that likes to eat mice and voles in the living room, so there is blood. I want to get laminate flooring, but I am not sure how to ask at the flooring store how well the laminate resists bloodstains, because it's a real problem. (Right now there is blood on the ceiling from a very annoyed bird, which I was able to rescue and put out again; but I will have to repaint the ceiling.).
