Suffragette Picnic Costume Found

I have been hemming and hawwing about making something for the Dallas Fort Worth Costumer's Guild's Suffragette Picnic.  I started scouting out the neighborhood Goodwill for a month now and just today I scored!  Your looking at a $6 outfit my friends.  I also picked up a two other Edwardian like tops that I will hang on to.  Now the creative energy will be focused on a super fabulous hat!

Why I Love My Husband

Why I Love My Husband: because he surprises me with goodies like this!!!!! (present for our new house!)

Waistcoat Progress

Progress thus far on J's waistcoat and and shirt.  I used a renaissance pattern for the shirt because more than likely he will wear it for both.  Not being a stickler on a historic shirt right now as long as he has one.  It still needs cuffs and the collar area finished.  I will be finishing the armholes on the waist coat tonight and working on the flaps.  Then....the dreaded button holes eeeekkk!!!  More to come!

WIG anyone?

I was super excited when I finished this wig last night.  Only to find it was TOO SMALL for my head!!!  Don't ask me why I didn't try it on before I started messing with it... I was too excited to get started.  Any ways I think its great for a mid 18th century do.  I am putting it in my etsy shop if anyone wants.  I'm just asking what I paid for it. $35 plus $10 for shipping.  Its put together with bobby pins and hairspray.  So you can take it down and wash it.  Synthetic hair of course.  The bump is a rolled pieced of padding (fiberfill) http://www.fashionsoftime.etsy.com/   Its a very honey blond color and I don't think I have a super huge head but its small on me...about 1 1/2 inches around too small if that makes sense
