Photos from Llandod

So now that my laptop is finally behaving (thank you Clare!!) I can post some photos! I thought I'd start with the oldest :p


The Empress of India Ball, we wore our old ballgowns with saris draped and pinned around, mine is mostly hidden in this pic! They're destined to become regency ball gowns, the white is Clare's and the blue and gold will probably be Mummy's.

I'm so happy with this outfit! I loved wearing it and I'm so proud I managed to achieve what I set out to do :)



The dress that nearly killed me with fighting undersleeves!!! But I'm so pleased with how they turned out, maybe I've got over my hatred/fear :p


A VERY hastily thrown together hair decoration, it's all done with straight pins, including pinning it to my hair!!

Having a very British picnic - it was raining, but we didn't let it stop us!!

Still working on the sontag, snore....

I got tired and went to lie down, but something went very very wrong!! Good job it was cold so I wore my drawers and flannel petti!!

Cinders and her Fairy Godmother at the Fancy dress ball. My Prince Charming was dancing with someone else :p

Prince Charming the next day! Her hair is so perfect for this era at the moment.


An afternoon nap in my nightgown, I didn't sleep in it ( I wore my modern jammies for that) But wore it with a wrapper to go down to breakfast each day, much easier than corsets first thing in the morning!!

Marching for the Vote! The banner was made by a member of our dance group and Clare the night before the march, it was the biggest and best there!

And just demonstrating the facilities :p Quite a feat of engineering to get in there!!

I have almost as many from Bath, but I think they'll be for tomorrow's instalment! I've done all the editing though, and I'm about to upload them, work was actually good today as well, so I'm a happy bunny now!

These photos are awesome! You, your mummy, and everyone else look fantastic, and like they're having so much fun.

Thank you! We had a wonderful time! Very exhausting, but a bit like childbirth, once it's over you forget the bad and only remember the good :p

We did indeed! And it was your advice that helped me bite the bullet and try to make some undersleeves!

Thank you! Yes, it's funny, a couple of years ago I'd never been anywear, and now my callendar is getting filled with events!
I don't think I've heard of that, I'll have to look for it, but The Duchess is wonderful, isn't it?!
