Marie Antoinette excursion

The Marie Antoinette excursion last night was so fun! I had too much fun working on my frock, way too much fun dressing up in it and too much fun watching the movie in costume and hanging with everyone. Too much fun! :>

This is the first time I’ve gone all out in late 1780s garb and now I’m wondering why it took me so long. It is my most favorite era afterall. *rolls eyes* I definitely felt like a pretty princess, especially after B did my hair. Isn’t she fabulous?! *applauds* I showed her an pic in Revolution in Fashion and she just did it for me. The scarf in my hair is the last little scrap of my bee dress fabric, which was my brilliant idea. :>

Another of my brilliant ideas (which B did for me because she’s talented that way) was my necklace. Do you recognize it? It’s my Katherine of Aragon necklace with drop pearls wired on. It turned out to be the perfect touch, drawing in the cream petticoat and making everything work together instead. I need to get some nice glass or cultured drops to do it properly (the ones I used are cheap plastic ones I picked up ages ago and they look it) but it worked for the evening.

It’s silly but one of my favorite parts of the evening was wearing the bum roll of doom, otherwise known as both my bum roll and false rum worn on top of each other. :> Driving in it was a bit of a challenge but worth it. :> I need to make a nice big false rump now because I loved wearing this more exaggerated style. How shall I ever go to CC without my hair diva though!!!! :<

I wish we could have gotten better pics but we had to take them all inside, due to the gale force winds outside. We tried but it just didn’t work. Dratted weather. I’m sorry I don’t have more pics of our party but Mom and Dad took the camera so I’m actually pinching bauhausfrau’s pics here. Thanks Loren! :>
