Costume Con Planning

Thanks so much to everyone who voted in my Dorky Poll — it looks like either the black & white natural form or the red & white early bustle. I probably won’t know til I’m there which I’m going to wear, but at least you’ve helped me narrow it down!

Now I just have to pack everything – good lord. Luckily I don’t really have any outstanding sewing that needs doing before I go — the only thing I had was to finish trimming my 1780s capote, but I did that in a fit of productivity last week (pictures to be taken this weekend).

Here’s my costume plan, we’ll see how this works out:

Friday day: modern wear (ICG meeting at 9am!)
Friday Night Social: totally non-theme appropriate 1780s robe a l’anglaise with huge hair and huge hat.
Saturday day/GBACG luncheon: Wings of the Dove dress
Saturday eve (scifi masquerade): either black & white natural form or red & white early bustle, depending on which is worn Sun. night
Sunday day: MAYBE 1909 afternoon dress if there’s room in the suitcase; otherwise modern wear
Sunday night: see Sat. night
Monday: modern wear

Now I have to start hauling out suitcases to see what’s going to fit…
