so I do not believe that she would be wearing something from the 1912's at a 1927 ball. ******************* Exactly! Especially considering the era. The style hasn't just changed...it's been exploded out of the water! It's a whole different philosophy. And to a ball? This is not the 1970's yet, y'know. In 1927 you wore a ball gown to a ball. Not a dinner gown or a tea gown. Society had dress codes then. Someone showing up in a 1912 gown to a 1927 ball would be asked if they thought it was a fancy dress ball, or why they were wearing their mother's gown. It certainly would have been talked about for weeks....maybe months. C'mon! There's a way to make every period look good on everyone. There's no need to substitute different periods! It's a fashionable affair for 1927. Do a fashionable dress for 1927! You'll look great! ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
