The Regency Society put on a fantastic Trafalgar Day Ball on October 4! Brian the Engineer and I attended, with new duds which I'll blog about soon:
There was much dancing.
And festive decor:
 |
| "England expects that every man will do his duty" |
 |
| I helped put together baskets of items donated by fellow RSV members, which we raffled off as prizes. |
 |
| Our talented musicians |
And there was a polar bear, of course.
All of the ball planning committee members who were in attendance were given special recognition:
And, naturally, posed with the polar bear.
I wore my new Green Sari Open Robe over my White Apron-Front Gown, and my new aquamarine collet necklace and earrings from Dames a la Mode.
Brian wore his new Black Wool Tailcoat with the Trousers I made just in time for the duel, and the white shirt and Green Brocade Waistcoat he's worn previously. I still need to blog about all of his clothing items. His shoes and buckles are also new, from Burnley & Trowbridge.
And we had fun playing around with the sonic screwdriver and the polar bear. :p
As usual, there are more photos on Facebook.
Your dress is very lovely, I adore the color combination! Must have been a fun event! :)

It was, thanks!
DeleteThat looks like an awesome event! I love the polar bear. Such a noble beast to preside over the evening. As always, you look smashing!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! The polar bear was a decoration at the event location, which we enjoyed immensely.
DeleteLove your open robe and the van dyke trim on it .... and who wouldn't get their photo with a polar bear! I would for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The trim is just the printed border of the sari fabric. I had to add length to the skirt section, but luckily I had enough of the border to do it.
