The event is "Reenactorfest", and they have a fancy dress dance/ball on Saturday evening. The eras range from Roman Centurions to Vietnam with everything else in between. I thought the 1930's evening gown would be fun, and my hubby wants to make a matching couple.
Would renting a modern tux be the best option? Any other suggestions are quite welcome!!! ************************ Rebecca Schmitt aka Agness Cabot, Guilde of St. Lawrence, Bristol Renn Faire ************************* > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 9:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [h-cost] Men's clothing from 1930's > > Evening clothes haven't changed too much really.
