| My mother and me - trouble comes in 2s! |
It has a little bit of damage already - some tiny frayed holes on the back - but it's in shockingly good condition for being about 90 years old and made of some weird stiff-ish voile-type stuff (cotton). The pink slip was perfect underneath and gave me no trouble.
Mom wearing 1930s sporting togs. How cute is she!? She got this vintage tennis racket for just $10!
I managed to tear the dress a little, getting into the car. There is a split at the top of the back right shoulder, about 1" long. Heartbreaking! And I was on pins and needles all day after discovering it, trying not to tear the thing right down the back! I get to devise some way to patch it now...patching a transparent dress...great.
All in all it was SUCH a lovely day. Perfect weather, great friends, pretty dresses!

Thank you! This was such a cool event, and Tahoe is always an awesome venue! I encourage you all to have costume picnics. If you have only one other friend who likes to dress up, you can still have a costume picnic :-D It's easy to organize, very relaxing, and a good excuse to wear your costumes!
ReplyDeleteMy husband happened to walk into the room just as I was pulling up this page to look at the photos.... we both agree, you look great! Very cute -- looks like a fun time :D
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to attend a costume picnic (18th century). There is one planned for November. Not sure if I'll make it in time with the things that have been going on, but I would so love it! If I don't make it for this time, I'll just have to see if we can get another one going when I am ready! ;)
Best wishes!
You look amazing, again:)
