more event planning!
I finished the 18th century-ish dresses for my friend, so now all that is left to do is find a large enough box and ship them off. My mind already moved on to thinking about what is next, because the costumer's society I recently joined posted the 2011 event calendar. I still have to comb a few other sites for events, but here's what I have in mind (though it is a *little* ambitious and will likely get trimmed):
April
historical reenactors market,
Empire weekend in Switzerland with fiofiorina
18th c Easter outing to a chateau with group (hopefully with heileen and green_martha)
May
18th c ball at Vaux le Vicomte
17th/18th c picnic at Vaux
general frollicking and costume geekery with demode
June
Empire ball in Paris
medieval faire
Second Empire dinner party with group
July
medieval faire
Empire outing with group
UK costume symposium
trip to USA?
August
Costume College?
1660 event at Vaux
September
medieval faire
October
Renaissance ball at Chambord
18th c event at Chateau Arcelot
November
1830s Romantic outing/museum? with group
December
medieval faire and market
And what does one need for a pique-nique of the grandest style at a chateau? Why, a pique-nique basket, of course! I found this gem at my local brocante shop (sounds cooler than "thrift store") and I think I will line it with this sample fabric from my stash and replace the cane hinges with ribbons. :)
