atherleisureI went to a Hallowe’en themed wedding last Saturday and wore my 1910 evening dress. We ended up back and forth between inside and outside a lot so I ended up carrying the train a lot. I’m glad it got another wearing because I do like it quite a bit. I also got to use a fan that I bought at an estate sale a couple of months ago. I had waffled on buying it, but some of the flowers painted on it were an excellent match for this dress so that worked out quite well.
Monday the band parents did a trunk or treat for the kids after practice. It was in the 40’s out so I wanted something warm. I finally wore my 1870’s gray velvet mantle.marianme took pictures of it in Tombstone, but it was really too warm to wear it that day so this was really its first wearing. I also finally wore the 1890’s knit petticoat I started making back when I lived in Virginia and finished in Houston. It took eight years to wear it! I wore my 1890 barrister’s wig knit hood too. That I’ve only had for a couple of years. With all the new stuff I also wore my yellow striped linen 1881 dress again. I do like that dress. Unfortunately I completely failed to get a picture of the whole look.
Tuesday it was 7:00 by the time I got home from dropping the girls at a friend’s house, which was too late to want to start donning a costume so I didn’t end up dressing on Hallowe’en itself.
