Feeling beautiful at a demo always helps!

Here we go, photos from the dance demo on Wednesday! Or rather, photos from my friend's garden after the ride home from the demo ;) We were dancing outside a city centre library and museum, so it was far from picturesque, and it was so unbelievably hot that in between sets we just wanted to go inside and collapse in our air-conditioned room!! So while the others were changing before lunch, Mummy and I went outside and took some pics, and as always, ( they're under the cut. )

We're only going to the Victorian festival for a few days this year - a trip to the seaside, a day wandering around the town with a ball in the evening, and a day being suffragettes, with a 1920s murder mystery in the evening. So my pink plaid will get another outing very soon :)

Elizabethan photos now :)

Phew, two posts in quick succession!! Now for the photos from last night's trip to Tolethorp open air theatre! We were incredibly late leaving, so only managed to eat our picnic before the play started, so no photos or dancing :( I did manage to take a few pics, although most of them during the interval when it was getting very dark!

Finding out that the play was last night instead of tonight really threw me, I've been sewing non stop since we got back from the demo, and am so exhausted now it's not true! I did the millinery first, (and sorted out some jewellery) knowing I could wear just my kirtle if necessary, but what ever happened I'd want all the accessories!

Then I moved onto the loose gown. I'm so glad I had time to finish it, as I love it so! Photos and more details ( are under the cut ... )

All in all it was a wonderful evening, and I'm super pleased with my outfit, but boy am I glad it's finished and I can stop sewing and have a rest!!!
