Phew!

My house party is now over, our guests left this afternoon! The Georgian party on Thursday was lovely, then Friday we had a leisurely brunch, dressed in Georgian kit again and played games all day, then saw the New Year in with lovely drinks and nibbles :) Yesterday we all went to a local historical park for lunch and to skate on their temporary ice rink (that turned out to be made of plastic, not snow!) the boys were dressed as Georgian soldiers and we girls were in Regency.

So I've been rather a busy girl! I have really enjoyed seeing peoples cotuming revues though, and have started finding all the pics for mine, I have a feeling it may be quite an undertaking, but I will hopefully get it up tomorrow.

Once that's done I guess it's time to start this year's sewing! So far, I'm planning, in roughly the order they'll be needed:

Raspberry wool regency
Tan wool cloak for Mummy
Red flannel petticoat for Mummy
Gothic Regency ball gown
Printed silk 18thC(gown or caraco or pet en l'air? haven't decided yet, and need to buy the fabric!)
Cross-bared silk sack back
Pink and gold striped 18thC coat for Mummy

But this list only takes us to the beginning of April! Eeek!!

What a lovely way to ring in the new year!

Intrigued by the idea of a Gothic Regency ballgown. What sort of gown are you envisioning for that?

I'm bummed that we missed the party. The photos looked so fun! But there will be other parties, I'm sure. :)
