I went to a medieval party last week. Great costumes! Most of the lady folk sewed their own and their men folk did well. Codpiece and wimple city! We think we should wear fantasy clothes as often as possible. One good event round here in the summer is Lost Vagueness which happens in a field in Lewes. Burlesque camping, casino tent, 50s tent, rude country marquee. So much opportunity to wear corsets, ballgowns, old wedding frocks, in fact 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s style of dress from any century! The done thing is to bring a tent to sleep in and a tent for your clothes rail. I need to find me a clever seamstress to knock me up a few frocks to suit my bust, waist and hip measurements.
