Victoria Day Party

Last month I finally made it to a famous Carolyn party!

The spread was quite fantastic!

Everyone was dressed so elegantly: 

The theme was Queen Victoria's entire lifespan, so we got to play in any year from 1819 to 1901.  There was quite a variety of styles! 

Carolyn, our gracious host, was impeccable as always: 

I wore my Hufflebustle - in fact this event was my sole reason excuse for making it! 

I've already blogged about the ensemble here. 

It was so fun meeting new friends, and hanging out with with old friends.

Pictures were taken: 

And games were played: 

And a fabulous time was had by all! 

The following are Gloria's photos.  We broke into groups by decade/style - first 1830s: 

Next crinolines:

Bustles: 

And finally 1890s: 

The full group: 

And some shots Gloria took of me: 

I had so much fun wearing my Hufflebustle, and I can't wait to wear it again!  I've even planned an event in the fall specifically to give myself a reason to wear it - and make Hogwarts-themed desserts!  Stay tuned...
