How Austentatious!

[izodiea]

On Sunday I was A model in a Regency Fashion show- part of the twelve month "How Austentatious!" reading and lecture program at the Sacramento library. The Head organizer is of the program is Stephenee Borelli and the fashion lecture and the show were organized by Shelley Monson.

To Watch the Fashion show, Hear the lectures, and learn more about the program go to the Library's page"http://www.saclibrary.org/?pageId=1254 They are planning on having an Austen themed Tea in the same hall in the near future. I am not really sure how quickly they will have the fashion show up, but hopefully soon!

To see my favorites look behind the




The Men's Jacket was Brought by Jo-Anne of Sac City Dry Goods.



This was the first time I got to wear my bonnet, and it stayed on perfectly!! Ironically, the entire time I was making it it did not want to! I did not even end up using the fancy hat pin I bought...

It was really fun to be in the fashion show, and I enjoyed answering people's questions. I had gotten used to being around other people in costumes- while in costume- it was refreshing to be asked things that usually don't come up in conversation among costumers. You know what I mean? Everyone was very curious!

Afterwords I went with my carpool to get some food, hhhmmmm BBQ is GOOD after a day of corsets and light snacks!

Also, Now I REALLY want a riding habit.
