Well, it was my first big project and as such took a lot of time (and questions!) but eventually it came through, and was so much fun to create. :) Thank you!Skyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925772024454342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167312393813067790.post-39296442136333769102017-02-27T21:29:00.293-05:002017-02-27T21:29:00.293-05:00Thanks so much!

I attended the ball in 2012, so it wouldn't exactly be a recent events sort of post, but maybe I could dig up the pictures and work it in somehow. It would be fun to look at them all again. :)Skyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925772024454342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167312393813067790.post-80175195840465425582017-02-27T21:25:37.686-05:002017-02-27T21:25:37.686-05:00Thank you very much!

I think it's a good thing when people gift you with pearl hair accessories and the like. ;)Skyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925772024454342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167312393813067790.post-2660616517179943942017-02-27T21:22:54.480-05:002017-02-27T21:22:54.480-05:00Oh, my kind of girl too, lol!

My junior year in high school I did a Jane Austen study with a few of my friends, which we culminated by attending the Regency Exhibition ball - at the time it was held within Indiana, and after that year moved to Michigan - so I have only got to wear it the one time, but it was ever such fun! I know very little about dancing, myself, but I think it would be fun to learn more. Thank you, the hanger was a gift, and I don't pull it out often enough. :)<br /><br />Thank /you/ for hosting! I am so glad I was able to participate. I've enjoyed revisiting the Austen world throughout the party and the posts and reviews. :)Skyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925772024454342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167312393813067790.post-77523850098149562082017-02-27T20:51:43.037-05:002017-02-27T20:51:43.037-05:00Oh, thank you, I'm so glad! At the time, I put...Oh, thank you, I'm so glad! At the time, I put very little thought into the accuracy of a Regency era gown, and what colors they should be. <br />It's definitely one I am glad to have acquired. I don't think we live close in proximity, but let me know if you ever need any help from across cyberspace! The best advice I could give, would be to Follow the instructions as close as you can, unless your gut says differently. In that case, go with what feels right. You know yourself and how clothes fit you, so if something feels off, alter to your own needs. And if you mess it up, make the best out of the mistakes. :) (this dress I pictured here is FULL of them!)Skyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925772024454342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167312393813067790.post-72387197460844789992017-02-27T20:43:14.986-05:002017-02-27T20:43:14.986-05:00Thank you!! <3 Oh, I would definitely encourage...Thank you!! <3 Oh, I would definitely encourage you to do so, if you have any desire at all.
