Yesterday, Gorgeous Husband and I went to a local historic church to help out with what was loosely termed "a history day". You, know, how things were in the past, and how they are now. As many of us as were interested were invited to show up in costume and do a few dances. Well, we never pass up the opportunity to get gussied up, so off we went: this time wearing our Victorian gear.
This is my friend Christine, dressed in what she termed "her Titanic dress". It was gorgeous. She not only sewed the dress from a pair of old curtains, but had also embellished the hat and made the lace handbag.
Here we are "taking tea" in the church after a bit of not very strenuous dancing.

You and Christine look fantastic, I love both your outfits, I do like to see people making an effort.
(Sorry, the history buff in me had to just say that The Titanic sunk in 1912 - Queen Victoria had been dead for 11 years.) x

Hi Helen from Net-a-Dresser,
Can't make a comment on your blog, as it as for verification, but won't accept it when I type in the letters. Anyway, I love your blog, but don't seem to be able to subscribe. I don't fit into any of the choices that come up.
Anyway, many thanks for checking out my blog and I will follow yours as best I can, given my limited techno-knowledge.
I do LOVE leopard stuff. Surprisingly versatile and neutral for something so "jungle-ly".
Cheers from the Midlands,

Very nice, I love dressing up. And yes, your friend really went out of her way. I am a bit puzzled thoug. Are you the one with the black hat? I don't recognize you. Now I must say that most of your photos are from a bit further away so I don't have a clear picture of you in my head. If you come over to Amsterdam, you have to wear a tulip in a paper. So I know it is you. Haha.
