Greetings!!!
My homeschool group has announced we are having a Living History Masquerade!!! I am extremely excited, but there is a slight problem. I am not quite sure what to wear.
The dress category is anywhere from the 1900s all the way to the beginning of time. My sister is pretty much decided on either something from Anne of Green Gables's time, like a dress I just made her for her sweet 16, or something like this dress from Anne of A Thousand Days.
I have a few ideas of what I would like to wear, and what time period the dress would be from, but I really cannot decide! That, my viewers, is where you come in!

I would like to ask you, from what era should I pick a dress?
1. French or Italian Renaissance
2. Civil War
3. The1700's
4. Medieval Times
I have more images/options on my Pinterest board.
Follow Jacqueline D.'s board Costumes and Dress on Pinterest.
Please comment below and tell me from which era you think my dress should be! Or just tell me if you have a favorite dress! Now, my board does have some costumes that are not quite historically accurate. Even though I would love to one day make those, the masquerade requires that the dress be from some period in history: so please keep that in mind!!! Also, just because the styles are numbered in that order does not necessarily mean that is the order in which I like them. That's actually the way my computer would cooperate.
Thanks a bunch for your help in advance!!!! I only have about a month to get this done, so the pressure is on!

I say Medieval. But then I ADORE that style!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah... I'm leaning toward that the most. :) It's probably my favorite!
DeleteOooh. Sounds like fun! :D I love the Renaissance dresses or the medieval. :D
ReplyDeleteMmm... Yes, Medieval. Have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteCan I weigh in? The 1700's is my favorite ever dress style! I would love to see if you could pull that off, it's a toughie!! Maybe medieval would be slightly easier from seamstress perspective. I can't wait for this party, and I am a grown up LOL... the girls and I are going to go as American civil war era. And hey- you haven't RSVPed yet! ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course!!! :D I mean, I wouldn't be having this much fun if it weren't for you! Ooh!! I'll have to tell my mom and haver her say yes asap!! Can't wait!!!!
DeleteThank you for all your help! I have pretty much decided to go with the medieval style. I found a pattern, but I'm not sure if I totally like it yet. I'm experimenting with colors right now, but if I can't decide, I'll try to make my own pattern, or just go with Elizabeth Swann's dress. Simplicity has a pattern and I would love to try it!! I'll let y'all know what I decide!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds fun!!
DeleteI really really want to do medieval! I just LOVE the sleeves, and the style, and the hair, and the EVERYTHING. Right now I am trying to actually FIND the dress. I think you would look really good in renaissance or medieval.
