Presidio Living History
I went to the living history day at the Presidio San Agustin de Tucson last month. I dressed in clothing that was appropriate to the time period if not the place. It was really windy that day. I got my husband to take a picture afterward.
There are apparently differences between what the English colonists wore and what the Spanish colonists wore so I will need to do some investigation into that. Looking at casta pictures was recommended to me, and with my coloring, I think I want to try to look at the espanola versions. If anyone can give me recommendations for resources, I would appreciate it.
I also got him to take a better picture of the stockings that I finished last summer and never got a good picture of.
I've decided I really should start another pair of plain white stockings with clocks for when I'm reading and the like, but I will need to get the wool. I'll make them the weight of the first pair of 18th century stockings I made, which are finer than these. I think these are right but coarser than really go with the silk gowns. I kind of felted my original white ones by accident. They still fit, but they're shorter through the foot than I would quite wish.
(I don't know how to do diacritical marks here so I've blithely ignored them for this post.)
