Do Dance

Here I am with Hannah at another parlour evening in Lewes.

Do feel free to start any kind of evening with your friends in order to meet like-minded people who want to wear similar outfits. Sometimes one does have to clear the moth balls from the same old petticoat worn one too many times!

Hannah’s dress was bought by a friend from the Brighton car boot market – she seems to have an endless supply.

Hawaiian Burlesque

Hannah and Bosie (costumiers extraordinaires) are wearing burlesque party outfits, with a twist of Hawaiian. Notice she wears a real gerbera flower in her hair and he wears leather waistcoat, raggy top hat and tooth and bone necklace (a suitable outfit for a Keith Richards party also).
Never be put off by heavy rain, just add Wellington boots and see through umberella.
Ebay do a good selection of clear dome umberellas so you can see out and be seen – buy a colour trim to go with your shoes.

Balls

Balls are great events, they allow one to dress up and wear lovely frocks. A great addition to this man’s wardrobe is an old fashioned policeman’s outfit, I can’t help but notice him out and about on the scene.
Lady Katy (pictured) gave me a great piece of advice when choosing outfits of any kind – always look for good quality fabrics for that is what will really take you to a different time zone and back and help you stand out from the modern crowd.
eg. Polyester = wrong…. Embroidered satin = spot on!
