I made a light green wool 1860's dress in 2012, intending to wear it to Civil War reenactments with a friend who was dating a cavalry reenactor. I wore it to Dickens of a Christmas and Dress U and an Antebellum Tea, but it took until this November for me to wear it to a Civil War reenactment. I love the fabric and still have loads of it leftover

You look great! The rigolette is really cute on a real human head. Sounds like a lovely time all round.

Thanks. It was fun to wear, and my ears were never remotely cold but without the muffled sounds feeling you sometimes get with a hat pulled down over your ears.

You look fantastic, and I'm glad you had a good time! I love all of the colors that you have combined in that outfit. It's looks so very "real".

Thanks. I think it helps that I made the pieces over the course of about five years, which keeps it from being too matched. I wish I could have come to see you that weekend, but life got in the way.

Thank you. Doesn't everyone need a hat draped with pom-poms?
