More antiques

I went to Vogue today and got boning for the corset, and found some AMAZING black cotton lawn with a woven stripe for 3$/yard and I got to snatch up a dress length.  I also talked with the woman who works at the Historical Society about the exhibition I'm organizing, and I've decided that since we only have a few mannequins I'll start the rotating show by focusing on Edwardian activewear (our village was established in the 30s, but only became an independent municipality on 1902 - we have LOTS of Edwardian things.)
I spent the whole time categorizing the collection and deciding which pieces to display, and I got even MORE PICTURES!!1!eleven!

Lots and lots of antique pics! (under the cut)

Want to see more pictures like this?  I found some pictures I took of the clothes at the historical society where I docent (and am supposedly organizing a clothes exhibition, but) and they're faboo.

Minooka News

Ah!  I had a great time at Minooka.  It was my first time portraying a lower class worker, and my first time being firmly associated with a unit (I'm an Austen girl!.)  Even though I had to take the PSAT test on Saturday and almost missed the first battle, the air was still heavy with comraderie and smoke.  I even saw some people from the Sewing Academy, but I didn't dare go and greet them!  I wished that I'd asked them for a needle, though, as my hem was too long and I kept tripping over it.

Bro-ing it up!

It's my last event for the next 7 months or so. Sigh.
