Epic Dress Fail

[robinsnest]

I learned a very very important lesson on Saturday at 5:05 when I was supposed to be there at 5...when you finish early...try the dress on...*sigh*  Somehow the sleeves that fit off the dress...did not fit when ON the dress....I cannot tell you how totally discoured and awful that made me feel. But hiraimi insisted that I dress with her, so I threw on my brown jacket with the still un-fixed sleeves. 

Despite feeling like a total epic costumer failure, I had a lot of fun. There were candles everywhere, and it was really magical to see the house lit that way. It had wonderful ambiance. I took precisely three photographs before an old bitty came out to scold me for not knowing the rules. Plus the company was wonderful.

And hiraimi showing off her new caraco.

Luckily for me blackcat452 knows of another candlelight 18th century tour on Sunday...so we'll try this again.

Dude, is that a ghost in that first picture or just a weird exposure? LOL

No I'm it's the man from the next group walking by, I had a pretty long exposure time as the light was low. I'm pretty sure if this house was haunted it wouldn't be by men in tan car coats :-p

But but...GHOOOOOOOST!

Ghost! What a weird pic. And, eww, my gown is so wrinkly, that's what I get for dressing in the car. I'll have to try better next time.

you looked smashing. And you're always welcome to dress at my house! I'm so close to Peter Wentz, I should have offered I don't know why I didn't think of it! If we ever go again :-)

Hahaha, that first photo! Okay, no, I've got it - it's actually the 1770s, and he's a spirit FROM THE FUTURE! Or something. Ugh, I need to fix that cloak up for reals.

Cue the twilight zone theme...

What, no pictures of you?!?! (I know. I'm always the photographer and forget to have people take pics of me too!)

Actually it was on purpose...after my utter failure earlier I was in no mood have a camera going the other way.
