Very pretty! There's just something about blue and white floral dresses of this period :) And I do love the last picture of you!

Aww, thank you! And that was a sneak picture - Jen took it just as I opened my eyes. :)

Hehe, thanks! It is - I wish I had more times to use it!

Lovely - the fit is wonderful! I adore the last pic as well... what fun!

Aww, thank you so much! It took some tweaking to get the sleeves to look right, and I have no idea how precisely they're supposed to look. But the rest of it was amazingly easy. :)

Jen caught that one of me - I was just sleepy, and opened my eyes right when she took it!

I want it! So simple and sweet! What a beautiful outfit - I just love the colors of the fabric!

Hehe, you need to make one! I can't make it this year, but the costumer's guild is having a regular Georgian picnic every November in the FW Botanic Gardens. You ought to come next year!

dixievictoria October 10 2010, 22:13:30 UTC

I would LOVE to plan on that next year! It would be so fun! Let's do it!

I've actually been eyeing 18th c. lately as my possible next time period to tackle. If I do, I may have a few questions for you since you have already gotten through one costume.....*grin*....

You're on! You're also welcome to stay the night with us, or however it will work out best for you.

Ask away! I've gotten a LOT of help here on LJ; it's kind of a center for costumers. The tags on this entry have a lot of useful info, especially (but not only) the "ideas" one.

If I may be so bold I think it looks very nice on you.

Who could resent such a gentlemanly compliment?
