What to wear to Belvidere

 Hmm so a lot has happened since I blogged last...

Lets see, I went up to upstate NY 2, Vermont 1, saw almost the entirety of my family , oh yeah and got married. I'll post a quicky write up of that some other time when the pictures come back, but in the meantime I've moved back to costume things. What can I say, I'm looking to return to that which creatively fulfills me :-)

So my next event this year is Belvidere, If and it's a big if, I can reclaim my sewing room from wedding central, I'd like to make something new. The problem is I have zero idea what. I feel all over the place and kind of lost. I know it's a combination of not being able to see my floor and the post-wedding crash but I just feel lost! 

Someone just tell me what to make...

Hmm Belvidere part 2

 Okay the marvelous madamekat  has shared some inspiration. Here are the two that are catching me currently..



And this one which is mourning dress. madamekat  I don't want to step on our toes so if you'd rather I be my normal brown self I'll totally look for some stellar plaid. 



I like the clean lines. of both of them. Hmmm 

btw I was supposed to be in bed 40min ago..oops...
