Regency Picnic- Change of Plans

Disaster strikes! When originally posted on the website the regency picnic was scheduled for May 26th, but the updated event listing is in fact on May 19th. Since I work in theater I often have to work on the weekends, and it just so happens that I am scheduled to work May 18th & 19th, so I won't be able to attend after all.

And now I'm sad.

Regency Picnic Dress

Well I am excited, dear readers! For the first time I have an event to go to in costume. The Regency Society of Virginia has a picnic coming up at the end of May and I intend to attend. Of course, now I need to really get cracking on a proper Regency wardrobe. I was thinking of this:-

Instead of the parasol I may do simply a shawl, and in place of the strange runway-styling headdress a shading and lovely bonnet. Who doesn't love a bonnet? I'm a big fan of ice blue and tend to look well in it, so I'll likely leave the color scheme as it is.

Updates to come; oh, and I'm currently working on my portrait bracelets and a brise fan so I should have a post or two about that in the near future too.
