robinsnestYesterday was B-day for the dress. I didn't get it 100% finished, it's missing most of it's trim, but I got it wearable. It even had hooks and eyes on the skirt! I didn't have time to wear a hat, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madamekat was so horrified at my uncovered head she lent me a smashing bonnet she made. The forecast was decidedly cloudy with a chance of frizz so my hair less than behaved.
Rob and I rolled in around noon, dressed at the curb (a Belvidere tradition) and made our way to find the encampment. We found B, her lovely daughter C, Bob, the Host,madamekat and ladyxjade we also met some lovely new friends. K and V. K was there last year but we didn't really get a chance to chat.
We did a little shopping, I bought an antique straw hat, and had our pictures taken A LOT as we walked around. I have to say everyone looked really stunning! It was a little hot in the sun but a breeze came out in the afternoon and we had none of the showers the weatherman predicted. Mick serenaded us with his pipes and we enjoyed a lovely lunch spread.
Then while wandering amongst the antique cars an owner asked if we'd like to get in the car for a picture. Would we ever!! and then..HE TOOK US FOR A RIDE!!! You'd have thought we'd never been around the block before! It was sooo awesome.
We took another group tintype which looked marvelous. I can't wait to get my copy of the scan. All in all it was a great day. Good weather, good people watching, great company.
My pictures are all here

I love how everyone with a bustle dress always ends up with funny hands up the bustle/grabbing the bustle photos in their albums. We're such silly folks aren't we?
And my brain is so broken. I want to take those two different pictures of your butt bow (straight and semi-droopy) and run 'em through Photoshop so that I've got an animated GIF of them rotating like a propeller. Hee!
