You'll notice I go to these alot. Well i try to go to them all, they're on the first Sunday of even months, so not a huge committment, but one I stand by.
A few of them are a bit warm (actually most of them are other than the June and August ones! And June is when I'm there for History Alive anyway). So cool Victorian outfits are a must, as is sun protection. After a bit of a failure to launch with my February outfit, I felt like I really wanted to make something nice for the April firing.
You'd think that I would have said "oh hey, why don't I just fix the other one and wear it", but no, I started something from scratch. I delved into the stash (hindsight: this is a recurring theme for 2016), and found something neat. A sheer stripe. It's SHEER! AND STRIPED! and then started looking at reference material.
In one of my books, I found an imagine that I squee'ed over. It was PERFECT! Easy, patterns, I already have, and it was even striped!
I got done in plenty of time, and I think it's an outfit that just works. Super happy with how it turned out.
