Oh my, I actually made it to this summer Romantic Poetry outing. I am waiting for some pictures of me in a boat. Of course, I dropped my camera in the leaky boat...Hope I can rescue the pictures.
What did I wear!
Only the green paisley I had been slaving over off and on for months. The sad story of the ruined first attempt at the bodice part, then luckily finding another yard or two left on the bolt at the local fabric place. It is just such a wonderful paisley. I will have to get some better close ups of it and the pelisse.
Pelisse
I finally got to wear this project that started two years ago! I loved this print from the moment it and decided to do a very late Regency coat with it. It was more of a Jacobean print maybe that may have been popular, but I liked the floral patterns so much. It had a bit more orange in the print than I would have liked.
Bonnet
I finally made up that silly little bonnet I had bought like 10 years ago , it seems. I put some plum feathers and purple ribbon on it, more of what you would call a autumn color scheme, but back in the Regency, they did wear some very odd colors together as it was fashionable to them.
What next, a 18th Century Robe .....
