New Year’s Costuming Wrap Up and Resolutions

An excellent idea from Teresa!

What I accomplished in 2004:

1830s day dress and pelerine (finished from 2003)

1760s robe a la francaise (finished from 2003)

1909 afternoon dress and 1910s corset

1780s robe a l’anglaise and 1780s capote

1560s Nuremberg dress (NOT finished)

1875 afternoon gown

– went to four balls, one ice skating, one picnic, one film festival, one baseball game, two fairs, one tea, and two conventions

– met dozens of fabulous online and in-person costuming friends!

2005 PLANS

Definite:

1890s brocade evening gown

1911 wings of the dove outfit

Lord of the Rings dress

1796 gown

Not so definite:

– evening bodice for my 1875 dress

– satin and velvet 1880s day dress

– finish my 1560s Nuremberg outfit

– something else from the 18th c.

aaaand, events:

– Lots of GBACG events and local balls

– Either Costume Con or Costume College (not sure which!)

Phew!
