So those of you who stayed to enjoy the bonfire on Saturday night at Stephanie's might recall that I caught fire very slightly and had to be put out, athough then I didn't see any marks on my dress so we figured it was just an ember gone rogue. Well, I was putting away my petticoat and dress today (they've been hanging out on the line for a few days, oops), and there is indeed a very small scorch mark on the petticoat, but I'll be damned if I can find a corresponding one on the dress! It's a magical fire-conducting dress, apparently.

Also still has one slight red wine mark, but it's not horribly noticeable, so.

My dress and petticoat did that in Bath while rowing. Only with mud, which was all over the petticoat.

When I tried to wash the dress after the Jane Austen festival, I found out it was almost impossible to get the fabric wet. So yes, dresses can be conductive!

Hah! That's funny. Hooray for petticoats, I guess? The mysterious savers of dresses!

You should have seen it..."Um, I think you're on fire," says someone from across the circle. Drunk Me, with beautiful unconcern, "Oh, am I? Mmmm. S'pose someone should put me out?" Someone did.

Good thing it wasn't polyester, hahaha! That might actually have been unfortunate.

Oh my, I must have missed this! Did it happen after I went back inside?!

Hahaha, I think it did...see what you missed?! ;) We never got to stop-drop-and-roll, though, so it wasn't that exciting, hehe.
