Yesterday a group of us from the
Regency Society of Virginia met up in Norfolk for a showing of Austenland, which for me was really a reason to get dressed up and show off my new
velvet spencer. The movie was fun, and I did get a kick out of wearing my 19th Century garb to a 21st Century movie theatre.

Before the movie, Brian the Engineer was kind enough to do a quick photo-shoot with me in a cute little park near the beach. I wore my white
Apron-Front Gown with my new
Gold Velvet Spencer, my
Striped Bonnet, and a new dotted chemisette I threw together a couple weeks ago. On my feet are my
American Duchess stockings and Pemberlies, and the gloves I'm wearing in a few pictures are vintage.
After a bit I took off the jacket to better show off the chemisette. Luckily it was a nice enough day that I didn't even really need a shawl. I like having one though, for a pop of color. This is the
Yellow Shawl that I'm planning to embroider but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Of course I had to check the sonic screwdriver to make sure I had landed in the right century for the movie.
I had a hard time narrowing down which photos to use, as always. There are more to be seen on
Facebook.
