I spent a week building and covering an early regency capote for the hemwick regency society picnic, but the finished hat didn’t fit over my wig!

Sweet and simple saturday:
A floppy wool hat from the thrift store, plus a yard or so of wide silver trim…. And voila! A VERY chic tricorne hat!

A week and a bit ago the Hemwick Regency Society met for its inaugural picnice!

I wore my green floral round gown, but i added all new accessories - gloves, chemisette, jewels, shawl, reticule and big straw hat. I also busted out a less visible accessory: my heavy winter petticoat!

Here’s my latest evening project: a Jellyfish. With a little more whip-gathering it will be an early regency cap!

This one’s from right back at the beginning of the Big Move (TM) -
@mantuamaker and i are primping for a card party with the regency society of virginia!

As always, Peace Hill B&B makes the best staging ground for ANY costuming event!

Meet Beryl. Beryl and i met in a local thrift shop. Currently we are exploring the wonderful world of solvents together. She sits stoically, and i scrape layer after layer of blue rattlecan paint off her head.

Okay, lets do this. Let’s take my Ikea cotton sack-back gown for a spin.

There are few more satisfying pleasures in a house than being deep in a closet reorganization, looking at a bundle of tangled STUFF, saying “well, THATcan is getting kicked farther on down the road” and shoving it into a drawer and forgetting about it.
