Soooo.... a couple of weeks ago, was the Greater Bay Area Costumer's Guild Duchess of Devonshire Tea. I was pretty excited (and very happy to get tickets, they had a second event since the first one sold out so fast) because A) it's not a time period usually done for historical events... they mostly do earlier in the 1700's because everyone likes a Robe a la Francaise, and B) late 1700's means OBNOXIOUS HAIR and CRAZY HATS, both things I love. Yay!
Of course, me being me, I didn't actually *start* on the costume til like 3 days before. So, it was poorly made, and not quite finished, but hey, had the prerequiste OBNOXIOUS HAIR and CRAZY HAT.
I went with the Hedgehog Hair (tm) and When Feathers Attack! Hat! (tm) from the time period. It think the next one will be a Lampshade Hat. (you think i'm kidding, check this out!)
Well, on to the pics! (just to warn you, I forgot my fichu at home (scarf that covers certain overly visible tracts of land, not to mention, the top edge of my corset. *slinks off embarassed*)
See? hat of death. One of these days I'm going to finish this costume, and fix it, and embroider the skirt. Gack.
The whole group!
Cutest. Couple. Ever. where do i get my own dress-up-Prince-Charming? are they on sale somewhere? I have coupons
My nemesis, the chandelier...
