Pumpkin Tea/ 1790s accessories

[mandie_rw]

Today I remembered that I hadn't actually done a Pumpkin Tea writeup. Well...it was loads of fun as always, the food was really good, and the company was excellent. I had such a good time that I managed to dribble red wine down my front and not notice til I unpacked when I got home the next night. (Probably happened during the bonfire with colored flames, during which I cheerfully insisted someone play "Night on Bald Mountain" from Fantasia...uh, I like fire and dramatic classical music? What can I say.) Drove down with blackcat452 and hiraimi, and had a good time doing that, too.

I'm not quite in the mood to do more of a writeup than that, so that'll have to do! I did write a blog post on the outfit itself, which is here. Quite pleased with my silly feathers, especially! I'm glad I have that basic white round gown; I sense more 1790s variations in my future. xD

The ruffles may have been an utter PITA but they look lovely!

Hehehe, thanks! I hold you entirely responsible for my interest in 1790s, I hope you're happy. ;) I seriously love the accessories...someday I hope to wear as many of them as the lady in this print (http://damesalamode.tumblr.com/post/9261761763/gallery-of-fashion-october-1795-this-plate-is), because What. Even.

What a great outfit! The color combination is so unusual, but works perfectly for an autumn ensemble. And the feather in the bonnet is so fun!
