Breakfast outfit pictures

mandie_rwThe second annual Francaise Dinner was wonderful - I personally didn't take any pictures (at dinner, because my camera takes such bad shots in low light it's not even worth it, and at breakfast, because I just sort of forgot), but I'll repost some when other people put theirs up!
I drove home in my quilted petticoat, sack jacket and waistcoat, because I really like this outfit and wanted to wear it for a bit longer (actuully I'm still wearing it, haha!) and it's comfortable to drive in! So when I got home I recruited Lil' Sis to get some pictures of the outfit, since I had it on already, and since it's such a nice day to be outside!
We had a nice little jaunt down to Red Bank Battlefield park, since it's close to us and a nice background for pictures - the Whitall house was built in the 1740s (I think?). Lots of people out in the park today - all the better to give me more funny looks.
Though one woman and her group of friends thought I was the Coolest Thing Ever, and asked if they could take a bunch of pictures of me. :)
Lil' Sis was negligent in her cap-supervising duties, and it's flipped back in half the pictures - it wouldn't stay pinned in the front, and it was breezy!
Well, sink me, is that a cellar?? I thought those didn't exist!! ;)
I really am very happy with this outfit - even if I'm going to have to hem all the ties on the waistcoat. They're only pinked, and they're fraying like crazy! I left red fuzzies everywhere I went today. I think it just needs some coordinating mitts, now!
And I'm very fond, indeed, of the silly lappet cap! (Doily, ahem.) It's made of silk/cotton batiste and cotton lace - the lappets are made of the same lace as the ruffle on the cap, they're just two pieces spliced together, since I could NOT find nice galloon lace in a 3-4" width! And I had to overlap and stitch and snip the straight edges of the lace to make it look halfway decent. Good times.
