I wore the giant turquoise ballgown on Saturday night for the Victorian Festival ball in Port Townsend. Overall, it was a success, but it definitely wasn't perfect ( Read more... )

I'm attempting to post from my phone, so I'm not sure if this will work. I'll do a full wrap-up when I get home ( Read more... )

The basically finished green wool bustle gown was worn yesterday for our outing to the Sherlock Holmes exhibit at the Pacific Science Center. It was so much fun to wear, and I got so many complements! It was also pretty warm, which is good. We had to stand outside in line for an hour in probably mid-to-high-30s before we could get into the exhibit ( Read more... )

Well, we didn't win the Disney Trivia night, but we had a lot of fun, and I did win the costume contest! Surprisingly enough, I think it's the first time I've ever actually won a costume contest, so that was nice. I'm also debating about switching out my 1912 dinner dress in my CoCo lineup for Rapunzel, instead. The real issue is transporting that ( Read more... )

The event today was lovely. There wound up being seven of us in total, which is a great turnout for an event planned one week prior! We all walked around the fort for a while, looking in all the buildings and exhibits. Two of the buildings date to the 1850s - I think one of them is supposed to be the oldest wooden structure in WA. We took some nice ( Read more... )

I had so much fun this weekend at my Harry Potter marathon. I had one friend stick it out with me the entire time, which was awesome, and three others (inlcuding vanessa_lynne) came for some but not all of the movies. We started about 9:30am yesterday, went to around midnight, and then started again around 11:30ish today and finished around 3pm. 19.5 hours of ( Read more... )

My bf and I had a lovely pre-birthday weekend at the Victorian Festival in Port Townsend this year! We drove out Friday, and arrived around 4pm, changed, and headed out to Fort Worden. We had so much fun at the fort last year that we definitely wanted to enjoy the beautiful beach again. I wore my new sheer dress, and he wore his new Civil War ( Read more... )

My bf and I went to the SITU Black and White ball on Saturday afternoon. It was... interesting. The dancing was almost nonexistant, which was quite disappointing, and the food was definitely lackluster. Still it was nice to dress up and see friends, like vanessa_lynne. I got lots of complements on my dress. I did my hair at home, which fit nicely in the car, ( Read more... )

My Titanic/Downton Abbey dress was finished in plenty of time. Okay, maybe not plenty, but I finished it last night without stressing or staying up too late. So I call that a win. I also lucked out, and was able to have help doing up the 5 or 6 h&e that I couldn't reach in the back. That said, unfortunately, all the hooks with thread bars on the ( Read more... )
