How much fun did I have?!?!?
Loads!!
The amazing Val Labore from Time Traveling in Costume created a group called the Murder of Crows. Mourning (funeral) wear from any era was to be worn on Friday for the Ice Cream Social.
Here's a group shot!

It was great seeing the many different variations of the dress in the same era. We had over five talented ladies who created bustle gowns from the 1870s-1880's. This picture isn't even the whole group!
On Saturday I had classes in which I had to be fitted so to have ease of fitting (and breastfeeding) I opted to wear street clothes to my class called '1860's and Still Handsewn!".
Here's a sneak peek of the gown bodice in progress and my fabric!
Saturday Night was the Red Carpet and Gala
Here's a pic of my gown and my hubby and 'lil bit', they walked the red carpet with me!
A lovely Edwardian lady named Tisha
Vanessa and her matching purple gown.
How gorgeous is that purple velvet!

There's so much more about Costume College but I will save that for another post!
You do Victorian so well!
ReplyDeleteI loved your Gala gown! I also adore that the pictures you have, show the fabric as three different colors. I still think that fabric was a great find on your part!
Thanks llyrafantasyfae! I couldn't pass up the $1.50 a yard! I still have fabric left over and another bodice I never wore!!! Maybe I will post additional pictures in my completed projects area :)
