Euphrosnia is wearing a 1913 evening gown in burgundy silks with brocaded borders & velvet trim. Aglaia, the newest member of the household, has been wearing her very first costume. At the moment it's just a few parts of a Regency era ball gown as the bodice & skirt are being gathered & pinned on the sewing table. Adonis, the male dummy is, as all Adonis' should be, rather nude.
Anne & Catherine, the disembodied heads, are in a suitcase waiting to go into a display of vintage 20s hats tomorrow. They'll be showing items in a delightful collection of vintage clothes owned by neighbors & friends at a Speakeasy & Open House in my historic neighborhood. http://www.hanchettpark.org/index_files/Page332.htm Charles, the 3rd head seems to have disappeared. If found he'll go, too. You are all welcome in 20s costume or otherwise. --cin On Fri, May 18, 2012 at 4:06 PM, Vicki Betts <vbe...@gower.net> wrote: > As soon as I get one more research project finished and emailed I'll be > tackling a 1918 dress based on Folkwear's Armistice blouse, only with 3/4 > sleeves.
