Breakfast outfit pictures
The 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.

And you totally should make one...or at the very least jumps/a waistcoat, because they're the Best Thing Ever. So comfy! (I actually ended up napping on the couch later in the day in this outfit, haha!)
