1830s hair makes me feel like a deranged poodle

 

A weekend of shenanigans

I had an AMAZING weekend costuming, so much to write up! Lets start with Saturday, that seems logical.

I drove down to Historic New Castle Delaware. mandie_rw said to get there at noon and I was QUITE chuffed with myself when I parked at 12:01. There was free easy parking at the senior center and I had only gotten as far as finding my stockings with mandie_rw and miss_philomena rolled in. *insert standard parking lot dressing shenanigans*

Because Amanda's WHOLE POINT of finding another outting was to take photos of her spiffy dress she demanded we head to the water front first to take pictures.



SHE DOES EXIST...however when she had the camera back she only took bonnet photos of miss_philomena and I...



Oh but there is proof of my pineapple!



( Then we ventured into town )

( And now with more pictures )

All in all I had a wonderful day wearing and outfit that makes me feel beautiful and the most bad-ass-bonnet. 

Part 2: 1830s edition

Today was a another costume adventure! Seriously what a fabulous weekend for me. This morning I woke up at 8 so I could gather and attach my skirt to my bodice as I got that far before bailing last night, but managed to do hair, finish dress, pack and be out the door in time to pick hiraimi up only a few min late.

Allaire Village is in a state park in the middle of nowhere NJ and set up like it's from 183-mumble, I think 1836 but I'd bet preciesly nothing on that. Anyway two weeks ago I started a dress from PoF in an extremly obnoxious plaid that just SCREAMED to be an 1830s dress..and damned if I didn't finish
