The DFWCG Sporting Sunday event was held on Sunday, and I wore my 1918 sateen dress again. This year instead of the 1920 tuxedo sweater, I wore the 1919 cape sweater with vest front over it. I didn't wear the cape sweater for long because it was about 80 degrees Fahrenheit out, but I got pictures and enjoyed wearing it while I did.

1919 Cape Sweater with Vest Front

The wool is very nice, and it's fluffy and cushiony. I did find I need to tack the belt to the vest front because every time I lifted my arms, it pulled out from under the belt, and I'd have to tuck it back in.

Here's the Ravelry page: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/MCBurbage/1919-cape-sweater.

There were seven of us at the event, ranging from 1870's to 1970's. Two of us were in 1910's. One wore a 1920's bathing suit. We played horseshoes with complete disregard for the rules and a singular lack of competitive spirit and then played Bocce ball in a similar way. I took my croquet set but didn't end up setting it up.
