Costume Con Report Part 1

A much longer report will come soon, but first things first – the top secret masquerade project! A CRAZY group of us reproduced the Portrait of Empress Eugenie surrounded by her Maids of Honor in the historical masquerade – and WE WON BEST IN SHOW!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! It was an utterly amazing experience – and actually, I was most excited about the audience reaction to it, which was overwhelming.

Here we are – and here’s a video of our presentation. Rest assured that I plan to do a DETAILED write up of the project (including all the gowns!) but it might take me a few days to get that up.

And a much, much longer CC26 report shall be forthcoming!
