O. M. G.
I've scarcely had time to sleep let alone to write! What an adventure the past few months have been. After the May Regency Costume Fair I met so many lovely new clients! Gowns and tailcoats were ordered. Fabric purchased. Mock ups were made and fitted.
And then at the second Costume Fair in September I had more inquiries about custom gowns! With the ball fast approaching I hunkered down and put the pedal to the metal, so to speak. I don't think I've ever sewn so fast in my life! I made 35 custom pieces, all due and worn in one weekend. That doesn't include in the various reticules and cravats I made, or any fans or feathers.
I'm pleasantly overwhelmed by the abundance! It was a joy to meet with so many lovely people just as crazy as I am who want to join our Regency events. How lovely it is to grow our community in such an immense way, and in such a short time no less!
We managed take group shots both evenings, which I'll post at a later date once they are available.
For now I'll leave you with this gem. (Do please see Nanc Price's beautiful photos here: Saturday Photos . I'm so pleased to have her as the photographer for this event!)
Do check out the hashtag #AustenYEG for more lovely photos!
